Hey all! Hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl.
Raise your hand if you watched This Is Us afterward. Honestly, that is all I cared about. It is so cathartic to watch... I cry every time. Sorry Pats but you can't compete with Mandy Moore.
Seriously, if you haven't watched it yet, you must but make sure you have the many hours it takes to binge watch because you will not want to stop. #ThisIsUs
I have been a roll with my Instant Pot lately. I am loving this Sesame Chicken and I meal prep Instant Pot Boiled Eggs regularly.
For the winter, I'm loving this Instant Pot Lentil Soup. It always amazes me how quickly I can get dinners like this on the table with the Instant Pot - thus the name Instant. 😏
Lentils are packed with insoluble fiber at 15 grams per cup which helps stabilize blood sugar, control your appetite and keep you full. I'm all about the high fiber in 2018! Adding kale really bumps up the nutrition but it's optional.
I have tweaked this recipe so many times because I hate mushy lentils. It's easy to overdo lentils and cook them too long in the Instant Pot. I think 12 minutes is the magic number but you can adjust according to your taste.
