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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
