*drum roll, pleaaaase..*

I’m Karli, the face behind this blog. Bet you could of guessed that, huh? ? I am married to my childhood community swim team teammate (Woah, try and say that three times fast!). Together we have 4 kiddos. My husband, Dan, and I have been married for over a decade.

We love each other & our crazy kids! Dan has been the biggest supporter of my blog since day one. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today without his optimism & encouragement. Everyone really needs a ‘Dan’.  They are pretty awesome, I really like mine. 🙂

This blog is a little glimpse into my kitchen, family & life. I hope you’ll giggle the days away with me and enjoy the craziness that goes on at my house.   There isn’t ever a shortage of crazy. I can promise you that! Buckle up, keep your hand and legs inside at all times and enjoy the ride!

  1. Hi! Was trying to save your breakfast burrito pin but it says you don’t allow that. Is that true?

  2. Hi Teresa- It should be in working order. When you left the comment, I was in the middle of switching some pinterest buttons around that may have caused this issue. Let me know if the problem persists!

  3. I loved this even more because my name is Karli too! Such a rare spelling. Trying this recipe today. Happy Easter! 🐣

  4. No way! It is so rare to find that spelling anywhere. We Karli’s need to stick together!

  5. I love so many of your recipes! I haven’t made one yet that I haven’t liked! Do you have any peach cobbler recipes? I’d like to try my hand at that! Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes!

  6. Hi Shay- Thank you for those kind words! ❤️ I don’t have a peach cobbler yet, it is definitely on my list, though!! 🙂

  7. Hi Karli,
    Just wanted to let you know I sent this message to Instant Pot. I don’t know if you have the Duo Crisp yet, but mine just arrived yesterday. I plan to make your Ziti recipe and use the crisper unit to melt the cheese on top. My son loves it when I add meatballs or chicken tenders and artichoke hearts to it.
    “I JUST got my Duo Crisp yesterday and am getting ready to use it today. I would like to suggest you offer https://cookingwithkarli.com/ a Duo Crisp unit to test and develop recipes for.
    SHE has single-handedly inspired me to use my Instant Pot MUCH more than I would otherwise with her ‘dump and go’ recipes. Her recipes have inspired MANY variations for my family because they are truly easy and quick AND especially in the summer, NO OVEN.
    https://cookingwithkarli.com/instant-pot-skinny-creamy-ziti/ and https://cookingwithkarli.com/instant-pot-skinny-alfredo/ are my favorites and they both lend themselves to adding other ingredients to create healthy main dishes. Both are also available in higher fat versions.
    Thank you for your time and attention. Linda”
    I hope it helps and doesn’t cause any problems for you.

  8. Oh Linda- you are simply the best! Thank you for reaching gout to Instant Pot, that is so kind of you! ❤️❤️

  9. I hope something positive comes of this. It’d be lovely to see more easy recipes
    I just bought my 2nd IP, a DuoCrisp 8 qt. I made a meatloaf in it last night and it’s delicious. (However, next time I’ll let it cool a little before I manhandle it out of the pan, lol. It literally fell apart. But it’s delicious!)
