Instant pot! What a God send! I have recently seen so much hype about the instant pot and I had to share my story with you. This post contains affiliate links. For more information see my disclosure page here. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. About three years ago, I was watching TV one day and I came across an infomercial for a pressure cooker. The infomercial was so good I ended up buying one. Anything that promises me to have a delicious dinner done in half (or more) of the time is perfect in my book! I received it and immediately started cooking up a storm. Since…
