This week I’m taking a slightly different approach to my meal planning. My husband and I both have a lot going on at work and expect to put in extra hours. I’m creating an Instant Pot inspired meal plan this week. That means easy Instant Pot recipes and some batch cooking for simple meals.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot you might want to consider getting one. If it’s not in the cards don’t worry, you can make the same recipes with other cooking methods.
As the week goes on I might switch up some of the meals. I really wanted to provide a meal plan for those of you who use the Instant Pot regularly and those of you who got one on Prime Day and are just getting started. We may have cereal instead of Oatmeal or simple rice or beans instead of the meal shown.

Holly, I got an instant pot for Christmas…kind of hard to figure out. We did make chili from recipe my husband found online. Not very good, thank you for offering your instant pot recipes, your recipes are always good and simple! Will pray for your son and family…please pray for me as I took a hard fall and am in a lot of pain, nothing broken but need a cane to walk. Happy New a year, may 2018 be a blessing for your family w healing for your son. Vicki Smith
Thank you Vicki! You are always so kind. I’ll definitely pray for you! Let me know if I can help you with anything!
