I’m not going to lie. The day I got my Instant Pot was a game changing day in the kitchen.
I’m a busy working mom with a pretty wild schedule and so I need all the simplifying I can get in the kitchen at dinner time. My slow cooker was my faithful kitchen sidekick for years, but that required me having my act together enough at 7am to be thinking about dinner for that evening….and sometimes that just simply didn’t happen. And while my slow cooker certainly made some days easier, there were plenty of days I was left wishing for a healthy living hack that would make dinner so much simpler.
And then my Instant Pot came in the mail.
And after I got the nerve to take it out of the box. And after I got over the fact that it has as many buttons as a rocket ship. And after I hit YouTube so I could figure out how to use the thing….it was magical.
And now my Instant Pot is my new faithful kitchen companion, being put to work making my family amazing meals more days than not. I’m in love with a kitchen appliance. Truly. Madly Deeply. And my husband has come to terms with it.
And while the internet is FULL of things you can cook up in your Instant Pot, this roundup is full of THE BEST Paleo Instant Pot Recipes to Make For Your Family.
