For years I have debated over purchasing an Instant Pot. My friends had them, and despite their rave reviews, I was still hesitant. It felt overwhelming for me to learn a whole new way of cooking. I must have recently been up for a new challenge in my life, because I decided I was ready to tackle pressure cooking. My sweet (and observant) husband picked up on my not so subtle hints, and surprised me with my very own Instant Pot the other day. I am so glad he did! Not sure what I was waiting for. With that said, it hasn't been the challenge I anticipated. In fact, it is so simple that it probably didn't fulfill my need for a new challenge at all... maybe that is why I still can't get my mind off of needing a puppy. I am sure my husband was hoping the Instant Pot would help me drop the puppy thing... but nope. Still talking puppies. At least, if I get a new puppy, I can spend more time training and less time cooking.
As I come across new recipes, I will post my tried and true collection here. As with all food we cook in our home, the emphasis will be on simple whole foods that nourish our bodies and souls.
