Everything Brussel Sprouts

2 lbs. Brussels sprouts (I get the big bag from Costco)
4 T. olive oil
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Preheat your oven to 400. Trim the ends off of the sprouts. Cut in half or quarters if they are really big. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread sprouts on sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and sprinkle the everything seasoning over the sprouts. Return to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes or until tender and crispy. Serve immediately.

Instant Pot Hot Dogs

Hot dogs
1 cup water

Put the cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the rack and as many hot dogs as you would like to cook. Lock lid and set to "sealing". Set to High Pressure with a cook time of zero. When it beeps do a quick release of the pressure. Remove lid and serve. Usually takes 15-20 minutes total.
