I’m ready for St Patrick’s Day! HyVee had everything in one case for me! Mostly, I’m ready to eat. Corned Beef is a big treat in my book and I can’t wait to put it in my Instant Pot. I used the Instant Pot for my corned beef last year and it was excellent. I decided to try a recipe I found in HyVee’s Seasons Magazine to mix things up in the cabbage department. This looks outstanding!
