I never thought one kitchen appliance could make life so easy! I'm not a naturally talented cook, so I tend to be skeptical when someone who is a fantastic cook tells me there's a new-fangled contraption in town that she can't live without…
Well, on the advice of that friend, I took a leap of faith and bought a 6 quart Instant Pot to see if it could magically turn my cooking abilities into something a little more workable. And let me tell you — this thing has revolutionized my kitchen! I can literally cook almost anything in it! I'm even making homemade dog food now for my chunky little Dachshund who got a bad report card from the vet and needs to lose some weight. That's something I swore I'd never do!
So I got to thinking, since I have these new-found super powers, why not figure out a way to make an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the Instant Pot too?
