If you have ever tried the Copycat Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice recipe that I shared here with you a while ago then you’ll be happy to learn about this new Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice recipe that will save you so much more time compared to the original.

It really is such a simple recipe to make that always reminds me of the warmer weather.

Since it is slowly warmer up around here again I thought I would share our latest Instant Pot version so that you can spend less time cooking in the kitchen and more time enjoy more time outdoors.

If you are looking for a complete dinner idea, try this Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Chicken & Rice recipe.

Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice takes a fraction of the time to make, and since you are using the Instant Pot instead of your stove top you won’t be heating up the kitchen on those days when you would rather it stay cool inside.

Instagram post 2193038191431022868_4768974 What are your favorite kind of Christmas cookies?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I love spending an entire day just listening to Christmas music and baking up all kind of deliciousness during the holidays. It is one of the things I look forward to most this time of year. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am spending some time today coming up with my baking plan, which will include all of the things I want to make this year and all of the ingredients I will need to do so.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Then I will keep this list in my purse so I always have it on hand to look at when I stop at a store that might have something on my list. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can find such great deals on baking supplies at the grocery stores this year, so it is a great time to stock up on your baking essentials for the next 6 - 12 months. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am so glad I learned to shop the sales this way, that way I wasn't paying full price for the same thing a month later. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you do this too?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ OH!! Don't forget to grab the Cookie Recipe Book that I am giving away to anyone that wants a copy. The link is in my bio, or comment below and I can send it to you directly.

Instagram post 2190026987661677894_4768974 #ad I am loving my new @OralB GENIUS Pro 8000 Rechargeable Toothbrush. The brush is equipped with Position Detection Technology to showcase the areas I missed, to ensure I never miss a zone again! I have to say it is a fun challenge trying to get a 100% score, so far I am doing pretty good at 97%...but I am not giving up until I get a perfect 100%!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It also monitors how hard you are brushing with the visible pressure sensor, which is super important to me. TODAY ONLY, there is a really great Cyber Monday sale for this brush over at @Target today! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you are interested in learning more, I’ll share the link in my bio for you. I seriously never thought I would say it, but I cannot imagine ever going back to a manual toothbrush again, my teeth feel like I just left the dentist every time I use this. ⁠⠀
Instagram post 2188021891289945905_4768974 I was up early this morning searching for all of the best Black Friday deal online. I love being able to shop in my pajamas while I enjoy leftover pie with my coffee. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ No crazy crowds for me. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Are you finding any great deals today?
