Who else spent the last week pretty much eating and taking naps?

All my holiday dinner leftovers are done and I can cook again! My sweet cousin always gets me a new kitchen appliance and/or accessory for Christmas. This year she gifted me an Instant Pot for Christmas!

I’ve linked Amazon ones here. In all honesty, if you check Costco, Walmart, or other department stores, they often have these for sale!

What I adore about these types of Instant Pot or slow cooker meals is that it is mess/stress-free! For instance, you could dump a bunch of ingredients and leave it for 2-8 hours then have an amazing meal!

I’ve found all of these recipes on Pinterest and will be making them in the next week months! I’ll be creating a bunch of different recipes to share too!

What are you favourite Instant Pot recipes? I’d love to know in the comments below!
