    Well, hello folks...I hope you are all ready to have your minds blown as I share some of the best instant pot summer recipes out there with you today!

    I am so excited to share these most delicious recipes and I hope that you will enjoy them as much as Ken and I do!

    What is an instant pot?

    According to Wikipedia "Instant Pots are a brand of electric pressure cookers or multicookers". They create a much higher temperature while cooking because the steam cannot escape. This in turn, cooks the food much faster than traditional cooking. I hope this makes it clear, for those of you who don't know, just what instant pot cooking is and that you'll fall in love with our instant pot summer recipes that are to follow.

    Why instant pot cooking in the summer?

    So, it's summertime now, the kids are out of school and your schedule has all of a sudden become quite hectic. With the weather getting nice and hot, the last thing you want to be doing is to be tied down to your kitchen.

    You should be out there playing sports, having beach trips, amusement parks, going for long walks (with or without the dog) and trying to enjoy as much of the outdoors as possible. With these instant pot summer recipes, you'll be able to do just that.
