What About the Weekend Instant Pot Meals?

It’s chilly and we’re probably going to spend a lot of the day indoors this weekend. So I added in fun to make recipes that your family can help you with.

The tamales will go fast after you make the first few. I suggest making a double recipe. Put half in the freezer for another night that you don’t feel like cooking.

I’d do the same with the Instant Pot dumplings, only maybe triple the recipe. You can either half-cook the ones you want to freeze or freeze them uncooked on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen place all the dumplings in a resealable bag.

A Healthy Instant Pot menu plan that's perfect for winter week!
