Instant Pot Quick and Easy Foods

When I want to eat something quick and wholesome, I can put just about anything around the house in my Instantpot and have something to snack on in a couple of minutes. I love that I can even put frozen food into my Instantpot, so I don't have to worry about thawing it out. I usually forget to sit the food in the fridge to thaw, anyway. I keep ground turkey around, because it's so flexible (I can make several different meals with it). Ground turkey keeps well in the freezer, too. So, when I buy my ground turkey, I can put in the freezer in a plastic bag, and then I can put about a pound of it in my Instantpot and cook for about 20 minutes, and it will be ready. I can use it for burritos, as a topping for nachos, or for tacos.

These days, I cook my fresh turkey meat in my Instantpot and freeze the meat to be eaten later. I put it in small freezer bags into the portion size that I ant to eat. This saves time and it keeps me on track hen it comes to my dieting.

I like boiled eggs, although I don't eat them every day. I might pop a couple of eggs in the Instantpot on the trivet, which came with my pot. I add a little water in the pot, set it to cook for 10 minutes, and after making sure that I've closed the vent on the Instantpot, I'm good to go.

In about 10 minute, I'll have hard boiled eggs that are easy to eat and perfect, with a creamy yolk. I hate hard boiled eggs with yolks that are not fully cooked, so I always let them boil for about 10 minutes. Sometimes, if I'm busy, I'll like the steam release naturally from the Instantpot. Most of the time, I'm in a hurry to eat, so I quick release the steam and chow down. The boiled eggs are great for those days when I'm running late, and I don't have time to cook my usual breakfast. I'm still loving my Instantpot.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
