Life as a mom sure is busy… well, maybe that's an understatement… lol
As my 4-year-old son grows, he seems to get a little more bounce in his step every day – so much bounciness in fact, that I'm having a hard time keeping up! It seems like any time I have a minute to sit down, it's time to get right back up and take care of something. You know how it is, right?
Cooking and trying new recipes certainly is a passion of mine, but lately I've been so much in demand by my family that there's little time to actually put together a great big meal like I've done so many times before.
In my desperation to scrape up just a little extra time in my day, I invested into buying an Instant Pot. If you're not familiar with the Instant Pot, it's a wonderful machine that pressure cooks, slow cooks, steams rice/veggies, makes yogurt and more. Before getting one for myself, I'd seen so many other blog posts online raving about just how amazing the machine really is. I'm not usually one to jump of the bandwagon but I just had to try it for myself.

Over the last little while the Instant Pot has been a HUGE time saver for me. Using the pressure cooker setting, I've been able to make so many delicious recipes in as little as 15-25 minutes!
In this weeks roundup I've included some super delicious and time-saving recipes you can make in an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker. If you don't have a pressure cooker or Instant Pot yet, not to worry, many of these recipes can also be made using other cooking methods, like in a slow cooker or on the stove.
Seriously – this thing has freed up so much time for me and the flavors it brings out in recipes are spectacular! I'm still amazed with just how many different types of food you can cook in an Instant Pot – love it!
