25 Instant Pot Recipes for the Holidays

Getting the Instant Pot on a Black Friday sale was a total game-changer for us! As much as I love to cook, the more kids I have, the more time I am spending in the kitchen cooking. Some days it can be hours of cooking when I am trying to batch cook and freeze. Can you relate?
Well, the handy dandy Instant Pot has reduced that kitchen time significantly. I can now make overnight soaked oats and cook them to perfection in 20 minutes in the morning for a healthy breakfast. I can make healthy gluten-free mac and cheese for my kids for lunch in just 7 minutes!
With the holidays here, I wanted to put together a collection of quick and easy Instant Pot recipes, while you are able to do more important things, like enjoying a cup of homemade eggnog or making holiday ornaments.
