Have you jumped on the instant pot bandwagon? I have not. I know so many people who love their instant pots. I’m thinking I’ll be putting one on my Christmas list.
If you currently own an instant pot, (or recently got one as a gift) I’ve assembled some delicious recipe from bloggers who use one often. If you don’t have one, check out the recipes and then decide if you want to add one to your wish list. Honestly, I really never knew how versatile an instant pot can be. You can sauté, slow cook, pressure cook, steam and even make yogurt!

I enjoy cooking and would love to have one of these pots, I am unable to afford one trying to support my family. I come from a family of 12 children and I kept a lot of my moms recipes, but I have no pot to use for them. I would appreciate my name thrown into the running for one. MY sister treats me to fast foods every now and then and I can’t stand eating that garbage anymore. I like my home cook meals. Thank yo for entering my name in the running.

You must have been reading my mind. I was thinking that I need to get my Instant Pot back out soon. Now I have inspiration!
