If you haven’t invested in an Instant Pot, I encourage you to check them out.  The Instapot (as I like to call it) has been extremely helpful in our busy lives. I have been able to make my family a meal in minutes, sometimes using chicken straight out of the freezer. The flavor is amazing and it doesn’t heat up the kitchen in the summer.  I have loved having it as a part of my kitchen!
