Meredith Spidel says
This is so timely and perfect–I want to get an Instapot for Christmas, and my kids are definitely picky eaters! Thanks for the recipes, Janine!
Janine says
Thanks Meredith and I just bought one for our home recently. I cannot stop using it and best purchase I made this year by far for my family, including the picky eater here 🙂
Jill Robbins says
You are chipping away at my resolve not to jump on the Insta Pot bandwagon! These look awesome. One of my kids is super picky, which drives me NUTS.
Janine says
Jill, I held out on the Instant Pot bandwagon for so long. But I finally caved and seriously couldn’t be happier. I though my crockpot was enough, but I was so wrong. I love my Insta Pot and not sure why I waited so long. Plus, it has indeed helped with the picky eater here. So no complaints from me 😉
William Holland says
Yes, my mind went somewhere else when I saw this title. LOL Hey, I grew up in the 60’s. What do you want from me?
Have a great weekend!
Janine says
Bill, you just brought a new meaning to the title LOL! But seriously, have a wonderful weekend now, too 🙂
Jen says
Jen’s Guy days the Dr. Pepper pork needs to happen STAT. I really need an instant pot. I pinned all of this goodness.
Janine says
I am so with Jen’s Guy as the Dr. Pepper one may very well be my favorite, too! And thank you for pinning, as well 🙂
Kristi Campbell says
Thanks for this Janine! Pinning! And I can’t wait to try the taco pie. It looks SO GOOD.
Janine says
You are so welcome and hope you can try the Taco Pie soon, too now 🙂
AnnMarie John says
I have an instant pot and rarely pull it out, but with these recipes I can now use it a bit more often. Some of these are even recipes I would love to try myself. Thank you for the list.
Janine says
You are so welcome and I am still looking for a few more recipes. So don’t be surprised if I share more here soon, too 🙂
Tamara says
I have yet to get an Instant Pot but I don’t know one person who doesn’t love theirs. I totally want easier and more delicious dinners!
Janine says
I know and held out for so long. Finally caved and got one for us, too. Seriously best money I have spent this year.
Aunt Gloria says
It all looks yummy! I hope to try some. xxoo
Janine says
Aw, I hope you do soon xoxo 😉
Bev says
I’ve heard amazing things about instant pots! A few years ago I got same a yogurt maker for his birthday, and I kinda wish I got him one of these instead. These look like great recipes!
Janine says
Thanks Bev and I love that yogurt making is one of the many options on the Instant Pot in all honesty 😉
Kenya G. Johnson says
These look delicious. We’ve got a pressure cooker just not the insta pot brand. Christopehr will love all of these. I need to make quick and easy stuff this time of year when we shoot shorts in the evenings.
Janine says
I am so with you and I need to do similar. So, I am hopeful the Instant Pot and these recipes will definitely help with this now, too 🙂
Seana Turner says
I will be sending the link to this post to my daughter, for whom I bought an instant pot last year. She has some dietary restrictions, so we are always looking for new recipes. I imagine most of these you could substitute ground turkey for ground beef, right? These are such great appliances!
Janine says
Seana, I am planning on trying ground turkey to substitute and don’t see why you couldn’t do that. So, I would totally recommend trying that. And happy you can share with your daughter, too now 🙂
DIANNA MENDEZ says
I have to hurry and buy my instant pot! The mac and cheese recipe alone is worth it all. Thanks for sharing these recipe ideas. I am sharing your blog with others.
Janine says
Thank you for sharing and I do hope you get an instant pot soon, too now Dianna 🙂
