Delicious Instant Pot (or Slow Cooker) Dinner
Crock-tober continues! One of my favorite things about Crock-Pot and Instant Pot cooking is that you can scale up any recipe for meal prep. Double a soup and you’ve got lunches for the week, or freeze single serve portions for seriously fast weeknight dinners that save you from dialing for pizza.
And something about the Fall season just makes me crave warm, hearty meals — but I don’t want to sacrifice my health. The slow cooker and instant pot are the perfect answer because they don’t require large amounts of fat or salt for a decadent meal.
