🔥Ultra easy lunch alert!🔥
.
.
.
This is my ultimate go to for when lunching during a road trip, or spending the weekend at a baseball diamond!
.
.
.
Some places, take the rotisserie chicken from that day that don't sell, and package the meat separate as shredded chicken. THIS IS PURE GOLD. You don't have to buy the whole chicken or fuss getting the meat. win-win.
.
.
.
So many variations too, with all of the bagged salad options we have now!
.
.
.
Which is your ultimate favorite bagged salad? Mine - Southwest Salad!
.
.
.
Swipe to see my assembly and storage!

Well.. canning season escalated quickly. Having @theawesomeveggieco farm this year was such an amazing experience - and it's not quite done!
.
.
.
I don't share canning recipes on the blog because you need to be very careful with canning and use only trusted recipes.
.
.
.
I would love to know what you can! Let me know in the comments below. I would love to see where the fellow canners are and what is in your stockpile!

It’s the last week of having my kid at home for the summer, and then next week it’s back to prepping for school lunches, hangry kid after school snacks, and Fall after school activity schedules.
.
.
.
So for this last week of summer routine, I am keeping it ultra easy …… but also - I have a ton of recipes to make and photograph for @meal_plan_collective_app this week so I don’t need the prep because it will be leftover galore here.
.
.
I always get so many questions about where the “rest of my stuff” is. Swipe to see my flex drawer- which is mostly cheese and I’m not even ashamed.
.
.
.
I need to know, I’m not alone, how many cheese types are in your fridge right now (mine - 10. Yup. 10)

One of the greatest debates among Instant Pot users - "Can I use my Instant Pot as a slow cooker?"⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
There are lovers and haters of this function. Here is why:⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
1 - you are not setting it properly. If you press slow cook and walk away, you essentially put your food on keep warm. You have to press adjust to move to "normal" which translates to "low", and press it twice to get to "more" which is high. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Not super intutitive - I know.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
2 - it is not exactly the same as a traditional slow cooker. Slow cookers heat from all sides and the bottom. The instant pot heats from THE BOTTOM ONLY. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
For something like a couple of chicken breasts, you shouldn't see much difference, but for chili filled to the brim, yes, you will have to increase the time since it is only heating from the bottom. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
This whole post, with step by step images showing you the screen is up on the blog - https://mealplanaddict.com/how-to-use-your-instant-pot-as-a-slow-cooker/
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Have you tried to use your IP as a slow cooker? How did it go? ⠀
