This post contains affiliate links.

I absolutely adore my Instant Pot. It’s been a game changer in the way I cook — it’s shortened the time I spend cooking without sacrificing flavor. Plus, my husband loves what I make in it – he never really loved my slow cooker and always complained things were “bland”.

Check out some of the recipes that I’ve posted. These are some of my favorite recipes that are on the blog. Let me know which ones you make by tagging me at #themamamaven
