^^ So, this Facebook post is what prompted my whole thought process and lit the spark for this blog post. For the one-millionth time, I forgot to move the meat from the freezer to the fridge to thaw throughout the day, so I could cook it for supper. Now as you can see, I was disappointed, but not devastated, because my quick-fix was to just order take-out. After just a few hours, I had received multiple comments praising an Instant Pot- something that according to my friends, you can put frozen meat in and it will cook safely from its ice block state. Basically after hearing this, I was sold on the concept. I did some research, and well, it has officially been added to the top of my Christmas Wish-List.
Because I had so many people talking about the Instant Pot and all its glory, I figured there would be some amazing recipes that were specifically designed with the Instant Pot in mind. And guess what? There were! I picked out 9 favorites to share with all of you, so when I get my Instant Pot (*cough* *cough* this is a hint to any of my family or friends reading this), I will be totally prepared to dive right in and start cooking! If you are interested in any of the recipes, just click the image to view it in more detail.
- Beef Stroganoff: With this recipe, I can expand my Stroganoff skills past Hamburger Helper!
- Mac & Cheese with Ham and Peas: My husband will be super upset about the peas, but I don’t foresee any complaints with the ham.
- Short Ribs: RIBS <3
- Blueberry Cheesecake: This absolutely shocked me. Who would have ever thought you could make cheesecake this way.
- Pulled Pork Sandwiches: We are pulled pork crazy at my house, so this will be an instant favorite.
- Garlic Roasted Potatoes: I like potatoes literally any way that they can be fixed. Seriously, I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like, so this sounds perfect to me!
- Chocolate Cake: This recipe sounds so easy and delicious!
- Pork Chops with Gravy: I have never been a huge pork chop fan, but smother it in gravy and I’m there.
- Corn on the Cob: Summertime is FINALLY here and there is nothing better than fresh corn on the cob and now I know a much easier way to make it. Score!
This post is dedicated to all the Forgetful Franks and Frans out there like myself who never remember to do their supper prep and resort to delicious, but unnecessary, carry-out. Are you interested in any of these recipes? Do you have an Instant Pot? Tell me all about your experiences!
Until next time.
