This is the Instant Pot that I have been using for over two years now!

There are SO many great healthy spaghetti squash recipes available.

I love to make all kinds of things in my Instant Pot and will be sharing some of my favorite recipes here with you over the coming weeks.

I got my own Instant Pot two years ago and have found that it helps in so many ways.

It is a HUGE time saver. I can cook a complete meal using frozen chicken in about 15 minutes!

That is a really big deal to me because it means I am less likely to cave into temptation and stop for take out food, which we all know is not going to be as healthy of an option compared to making your own food at home.
