Instapot Easy Meals | FairfieldMoms

It’s Tuesday and you know what that means…new recipes! We have some leftover pizza from my daughter’s birthday party, but I am staying away from that and getting back on track with some easy and healthy meals! The breakfast frittata seems to now be a staple. It is easy, filling, and filled with veggies, recipe in the past few posts. Then I found some simple instapot recipes, and usually add some salads and leftovers for lunch. Since it’s still chilly around here, some days, it’s still soup weather!
