I have one, well I have two - we just recently updated to their newer version from the one they had out a few years ago that was smaller and had less settings. I personally LOVE it. It is one of the few things that stays out on our counter because we use it so often. It can be used as a crock pot but we mainly use the pressure cooker setting. It also comes in really handy at the holidays/potlucks to keep food warm.
I too only eat fish. I have a great blog that is for vegetarians post-surgery. Tonight I made Morning Star Farms Crumblers Eggplant Pastaless Pasta Bake! Its awesome!!!! Good luck!

I've been seeing lots of post about this pressure cooker called an Insta-pot. So who's using them? Do you love them more than your crock pot? What's your favorite recipes?

The cake is a lie, but Starbucks is not.
Mini meatloaves, made with oats as the binder, instead of bread.

I purchased a spiralizer yesterday and used it for the first time tonight to prepare my dinner (zucchini spaghetti). In 3 words I will summarize how I feel about my new spiralizer...I LOVE IT! I bought the Farberware Spiraletti.
My zucchini spaghetti was good for my first time, but there's room for improvement. My next attempt I will follow a recipe. I made my own low sugar spaghetti sauce. It was good. I bought Adelli's Italian Chicken Meatballs. OMG, they were delicious and healthy. I also added fresh white mushroom pieces.
