Pressure
Five Minute Friday Challenge
I love my instant pot. It cooks dinner in a fraction of the time of my old crockpot and to me, it feels safer.

I follow several blogs and one that has recently caught my attention is written by Heather Gerwing. She does a monthly review called Share Four Somethings. I have enjoyed reading hers and a few others that recall "Something Loved, Something Read . . .
