What to cook in January

Sometimes it’s hard to decide… You can start with the most popular Instant Pot recipes of 2019 here. A few of them have made the list 3 years in a row they’re just so good!

Can you make these as easy Ninja Foodi recipes too!!! Any electric pressure cooker works just the same, basically. Most of them use the high pressure function and sometimes saute at the beginning. If it’s a Crockpot Express that button may saw brown/saute instead. Go on and let us know which ones were your favorites.

If you want a really hearty meal though I would make these Instant Pot carnitas! We love it over rice but inside tortillas is good too.

Have you tried our Instant Pot Swedish meatballs yet?? If not you should!

I don’t make anything with unusual ingredients you can’t find in your local grocery store.
