Summer Instant Pot Recipes You Have to Try!

Firing up the stove is my least favourite thing to do in the summer. We don’t have air conditioning so heating up the oven means the house becomes unbearably hot. I lean heavily on my favourite Summer Crockpot recipes but now that I have an Instant Pot, I love these Summer Instant Pot recipes as well. Delicious dinners and no heating up the kitchen! I call that a win/win!
