quick and easy instant pot pot roast recipe

I’m a big fan of the instant pot. When 4:30pm would roll around… or 5pm (which is more likely the case) and dinner was ready, I used to get into a big panic.

“What can we make for dinner? Do we have any meat that’s thawed out? Oh shoot… it takes SOOO long to make the brown rice!”

Questions like that were constantly hitting me in the early evening. That is… until I got my Instant Pot pressure cooker!

Right? And who likes to wash all those dishes anyway??? Continue reading →

Okay, gotta admit. I LOVE to serve anything that’s quick and easy, including cereal. But to be honest, the GOOD stuff, especially the gluten-free good stuff, is almost always expensive, even at the grocery outlet that I frequent, and it just doesn’t fit into my big family budget.

I’ve had this mental block for the longest time when it comes to making granola… I thought… it’s SO HARD!!! I really didn’t feel like taking extra time to make a complicated recipe. It didn’t seem quick and it sure as heck didn’t seem easy.
