    We've been on an Instant Pot kick lately, coming up with everything from dishes like this to oatmeal and cake!

    Angeline and I personally love chicken dishes because chicken is just so versatile. We can use the Instant Pot to make chicken cacciatore, tacos, slow cooker meals, all kinds of pasta dishes, Instant Pot dishes.

      I use my instant pot's pressure cooker function. Which model of pressure cooker are you using? Maybe I can help you figure it out!
