Guess who has an Instant Pot!

She’s as excited as I am.

Ok guys, I can admit that I’m pretty late to hop on the Instant Pot train, but boy am I so elated that I finally made it! This quarantine life has left me craving everything from Chick-fil-A to Korean BBQ. To my dismay when I started craving my favorite soup from Olive Garden, I couldn’t find a food delivery service that delivered Olive Garden. My heart broke into a million pieces, I swear a tear dropped from eye.

But that only meant one thing, it was time to break out the Instant Pot. I quickly hopped on Insta Cart and ordered all the ingredients for my Zuppa Toscana!

Within an hour, my groceries arrived, and it was time to get to cooking!

I was nervous because I never use anything like this before but thank goodness the instant pot is self-explanatory. This is easiest the best purchase I’ve made for me and the family. No more standing on my feet forever to cook a filling meal, I suck at making rice (Judge if you want) but the Instant Pot makes it a breeze within 4-6 minutes! Trust me you need one of these.
