With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!
For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again!

Can you share your favorite one-pot Instant Pot recipes? I'm always looking for good ones!
ReplyDeleteLots of soups! We did Beef and Barley soup - just use the saute function to brown the beef and veggies before dumping in a broth and barley.
DeleteAnd the one pot spaghetti one I used was from Amy + Jackie, but using a short cut of Rao's sauce because it's just so much easier!
Yum! I'd be happy to eat noodle soups after a cold day on the mountain.
ReplyDeleteHave you done savory (or sweet) oatmeal yet? That's pretty easy and filling too!
No oatmeal yet but that's a good one we can do because you can add your own toppings!
