Recipes for the Instant Pot: Breakfast, Dinner & Dessert
I bought my first instant pot a few months ago and love it. It’s the prefect appliance for the last minute cook and helps me get a healthy dinner on the table even when I haven’t prepped much at all. I’ve used it to cook crowd pleasing beef & rigatoni, rice, and beans, and I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try. If you haven’t jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet, you might want to consider doing so, especially if you want to put more homemade, healthy food on the table, but just don’t have much time.

Instant Pot Recipes for Dinner
Using my instant pot for dinner is my favorite. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s a pretty awesome appliance and really helps getting healthy meals on the table quickly. I use mine more for meal components than complete meals right now, but I think that may change as I use it more and more.
