If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen me post all the wonderful dishes I cook in my Instant Pot. I use it practically every day, sometimes two or three times a day.  If you’ve been considering getting one, do it.  I have no idea how I lived without for so long.  I used to watch my grandmother cook in hers.  All I knew was that she was using the pot that hissed, spit, and made a lot of noise.  Little did I know then how brilliant she was.  Now that I have my Instant Pot, I know exactly how smart she was!

  1. I love the fact that the ingredients are simply placed in the Instant Pot and cooked, just like that. It was a really tasty dish, my family enjoyed it a lot. Not personally a fan of turnip but this dish made me change my mind! Thanks, Tara!
