I have to admit that sometimes I get lazy in the kitchen. I just don’t want to have to be in there for an hour preparing a meal. That is one of the main reasons why I love to have “throw and go” recipes ready for both my slow cooker and my Instant Pot. It keeps me from reaching for highly processed convenience foods. And it allows me…
I love cooking all kinds of beans in my Instant Pot! They are so easy to make and you get so much more for your money.

Dump and set recipes make eating healthy so much easier! And when you’re using either a slow cooker or an electric pressure cooker, it’s a no-brainer.

Electric pressure cookers like the Instant Pot have made life so much easier! Having the ability to set it and forget it, but to have food cook relatively quickly makes eating whole, real foods much more accessible.
