Instant Pot for Easy Cooking

Summer is here, and I find myself slow to change my cooking habits. There have been a number of times when I’ve had the oven on and the stove top aflame and, halfway through, I wonder why am I adding all this heat to my house? I’ve started using the Instant Pot even more than usual to make easy meals and keep the house cool.

I love to use the Instant Pot for hands off cooking. I add all the ingredients, wash up any dishes, and dinner is ready in a one pot meal. It gives me more time to get gardening done or organize something (which I’m always doing), or even just sit down and read a book.

NEW Ancestral Meal Plan

This Whole Grain Rice with Chickpeas is featured in my new meal plan. The entire meal plan is focused on ancestral foods, such as soaked grains and legumes, pastured meats, wild caught fish, and fresh produce. You will love feasting on nourishing fats, healthy proteins, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. These meals are so satisfying, you won’t even miss processed foods!
