Who Are We?

Hello, everyone! My name is Tatum Ellis and I’ve been with Marvin Keller for two years. Over these past couple of years, I’ve done a variety of things for MK, but my main focus now is our social media! I push everything out on different social media platforms and help create content for it. This is what I am interested in and going to school for. I attend Eastern Illinois University and I’m majoring in Corporate Communications with a minor in Public Relations. I will be graduating this summer which is very exciting! I’m very grateful to be able to work and focus on getting my degree.   

When I’m not here working or studying for school, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and dog. My dog’s name is Eva. She is a cocker spaniel, poodle mix, and is seven years old. She’s definitely the queen of naps. She’s truly the best dog “Eva”.  

And if you guys don’t already know I’m a part of the family tree here! Marvin is my grandpa, Joe is my uncle, and Rick is my dad. My other grandpa, Preston, also drives here too! Who wouldn’t want to work with their family?! That’s one of the many reasons why I love working here at Marvin Keller because of our family-oriented culture.

Make It Monday

On this week’s Make It Monday we are featuring the Instant Pot Pressure Cookers! The Instant Pot was created with the need for making fast, tasty, and healthy meals in mind. With their pressure cooker abilities, Instant Pots are able to bring tasty meals to the table within minutes.

If you haven’t already joined the Instant Pot family, the model below can be purchased for $80.00 on Amazon or Walmart. If you want to use your Pro Points, that would equate to 800 Pro Points.

Here are two recipes to try out brought to you by Aleta Crouch and Mike Richards.

Root Beer BBQ Chicken – Slow Cooker Recipe from Aleta Crouch

  • 2 thawed chicken breast
  • ½ bottle honey BBQ sauce
  • ½ can root beer
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • Cook chicken on slow cooker setting on high for 3 hours
  • Drain juice
  • In a bowl mix BBQ sauce, root beer, salt, and pepper
  • Pour mixture over the chicken
  • Cook covered on high for 30 minutes

Instant Pot Chicken Tacos from Mike Richards

  • Add raw chicken to your instant pot. ( I usually use breasts or tenderloins, whatever you prefer)
  • Add enough chicken stock to cover the raw chicken.
  • Add whatever spices you prefer on your taco meat. (I like to use regular taco seasoning and add dried chilies to give it a bit of spice.
  • Pressure cook the chicken for roughly 20 minutes until the meat is tender and pulls apart.
  • Serve on tortillas and garnish with whatever taco toppings you prefer.
  • Added note from Amy Graven – I have done something similar but poured a jar of salsa over the chicken as my seasoning and pressure cooked it.
