I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption.

The Instant Pot is one of the most versatile tools in my kitchen. I LOVE my Instant Pot for so many reasons. Though I don’t tend to make many one-dish meals, I do use it for lots of other tasks, like making bone broth, elderberry syrup, and yogurt. I also really love to steam fresh...
