HARD BOILED EGGS. The easiest way.
by Kara V. 

Instant Pot Method - for eating or decorating.

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

I'm going to do you a favor and leave the recipe/instructions right up top, in case that's all you're interested in. I tooootally get it. 😉 But if you're interested in reading more and seeing the process, scroll down. 👇😄

Place the eggs on the trivet (that came with your instant pot) - usually 12 at a time is best. 👌 Then, add 1 1/2 cups of water, close the lid and set the pot to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.

While the instant pot heats up and cooks, make an ice bath for the eggies to enjoy once they get done cookin'. 😆


Once the timer is done, you'll let the pot do a natural release for 5 minutes (no action taken), then quick release the rest (if you have an instant pot, you'll understand). Then dunk those eggs in an ice bath for 5 minutes and then they're ready to go!

We discovered my kids love to eat hard boiled eggs, so that was a win! But we decorate Easter eggs every year, so we had a blast dyeing them.

I had scored this cute wooden egg platter from Target after Easter last year, that I couldn't wait to use. Pro Tip: always check for holiday items right AFTER the holiday to get amazing deals. 70% off?! Um, yes please!

Didn't my boys do a great job?! I usually get a little possessive and have to make a few "pretty ones" myself too. 😜🥰 Okay, let's be real, I'd kill to just decorate them all myself, BY myself. Anyone else?! 😬🙊

I hope you enjoyed seeing this method of hard boiled eggs. I know the stove-method isn't hard by any means, but it's nice to just turn on the instant pot and forget them while they cook and not have to deal with a giant pot of boiling water, right?? Let me know if you give it a try or have any questions.


Huge hugs! XO!

Real cedar garland on pendant lights
By Kara V. January 30, 2023
I’ve never bought real garland before but found it at Lowes. It’s also sold at Home Depot, Costco, grocery stores, and other places too, I’m sure. Considering that you get 20 feet of it, I feel like it’s not a bad price!

Here’s how to make a very easy, inexpensive, and beautiful decor item for your front porch, or anywhere, really!
