My top five “go to” healthy snacks right now
I am being very transparent when I say that… I spend A LOT of time in my car. I have five kids in school and activities, own multiple businesses that require me to have in person meetings and then add in any social things I decide to partake in, yuppp, I’ve been in the car all day. So how in the world do I eat healthy when I am on the go so much?

An Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that has multiple functions (pressure cook, sauté, and slow cook like a crockpot) that cooks under high pressure and only takes 20-70 minutes for most meals.

I actually recently just sold my crock pot because I always forget to turn it on at the beginning of the day and then by the time I remember, there’s not enough time…
