Do you own an instant pot? If so what do you like about it? Any favorite recipes or tips?
I have one, but feel like I'm not using it to its full advantage. I like this recipe the best so far. And I need somebody to help me with hard boiled eggs in this thing. The first time I made them they were perfect and easy to peel. The second time, they weren't even close to being done. I've tried a couple more times with mixed results and I sweat my seal is on correctly.

What is your favorite meal that is quick/easy to prep?
Spaghetti is an easy go-to favorite that I change up by using different meat, or adding cream cheese to the sauce.

Hamburger Soup is pretty high on the list this week.

Friday- Mac and cheese (box) with hot dogs and frozen veggies for the kids - special treat dinner for them! While I go to dinner with the hubby
I ditched my crock pot once I got my instant pot. I use the instant pot WAY more (as you see above- 2 meals in it this week and the left over kahlua pig was from an instant pot recipe too). I liked to do bone broth in the crock pot. Until I got an instant pot.
My favorite soup to buy is TJ’s creamy tomato soup. Favorite soup to make is butternut squash soup.
I have an instant pot and I absolutely love it. I use it mostly for big pieces of meat to make things like pulled pork, shredded chicken and beef stew. It isn’t “instant” most things still take about an hour, but that is way less than conventional cooking and also it is set it and forget it- so I can put everything in, let it do it’s magic, do other chores around the house and then dinner is ready. Hard boiled eggs also come out perfect and easy to peel.
nom nom paleo has a lot of great instant pot recipes on her website- my family loves the carnitas recipe on her site. I also made a really yummy stew out of her latest cookbook last week and that was a big hit as well.
What's on the menu this week?
I don't know yet and honestly this question gives me anxiety.
What is your favorite meal that is quick/easy to prep?
Not so much quick? But chili! Just throw it all in a pot and you're done! I added too much garlic salt last time and since then I've had an aversion to garlic salt and chili
What is your favorite crockpot meal?
I have a crockpot and use it often, but honestly not a huge fan of the food that typically comes from it. Everything just tastes the same and it's not great. I guess I do like to make potato and veggie chowders in my crockpot, but I don't do it often because there's only two of us and that's a lot for two people.
What is your favorite soup?
French onion!

What's on the menu this week?
I bought spinach, 2 rotisserie chickens, and a bunch of salad toppings for the beginning of the week since it's been in the 90's and haven't felt like cooking.
What is your favorite meal that is quick/easy to prep?
Homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese
What is your favorite crockpot meal?
Korean beef short ribs
What is your favorite soup?
tomato
Do you own an instant pot? If so what do you like about it? Any favorite recipes or tips?
yes! We eat a lot of yogurt so I make that once a week. I like that I can cook chicken from frozen in 20 minutes. It doesn't always necessarily take less time but I can go do other things while it cooks and not have to stir and babysit things like on the stove top.
@ShawnnaO Totally get not being into the crockpot - I think that is why I like it best for soup - everything ends up tasting the same anyways.
@sarahhedger7 I think I'll have to try that white chili recipe, DH isn't into "red" chili as much as I am.
