In my group of friends and family, I was the first one to get an Instant Pot. Honestly, I bought it because it was intriguing and it had SO many options. It wasn’t until I started messing around with it, that I truly fell in love. My husband was VERY VERY hesitant about it at […]

This post is all about food! Below I have lists of my recipes and (links to them) that are freezer-friendly, […]

This is such an easy and delicious recipe. Have someone drop by and you need to whip something together quick? Or in a time crunch but want something DELICIOUS? This. Is. It. In all honesty, I was doing really well on my diet. I had made it several days without cheating. I’m not even a […]
