IP Carrying bag Review!

It's been a while since my last post- sorry about that. Not intentional, but I got hit with that lovely flu that is going around, which then turned into Pneumonia. I've never had pneumonia before, that is some pretty NASTY stuff. I've been down and out for a few weeks and am FINALLY starting to feel Normal again. It's been rough!!!

My Instant Pot obsession continues- and I have no shame. Today's post is all about this new awesome Instant Pot 8qt Carrying Bag accessory I purchased. Because I've been MIA, I will do a second post today that will include a recipe with VIDEO for Ground turkey stuffed bell peppers.

This bag IS ON SALE!!!!!!!! I paid full price for mine (Dang)

8qt Carry Bag Review:

PROS:
-Padded for extra protection- great for storage OR traveling
-Front pocket is perfect for holding extra seals, manual or cookbooks
-Top compartment can easily hold lid separately and/or small accessories
-Carry handle
-Adjustable Shoulder Strap
-3 sizes available for 3qt, 6qt or 8qt

CONS:
-Lack of "built in" ventilation (easily solved by leaving the zippers open slightly)
-Large/bulky for the 8qt size (it's a compromise for great protection though!)
-Side zipper would be ideal to get pot in and out easier

Instant Pot Egg Bites!

These are my FAVORITE Egg Bite molds and they are quite useful and make many delicious things in my instant pot!! I have utilized these to make egg bites, and mini brownies (I have serious lack of self control when it comes to sweets, so these molds are PERFECT!!!). These molds fit in both the 6qt and the 8qt . 8qt instant pot 6qt instant pot Egg bites CAN be frozen and re-heated! I usually make 4 molds worth of egg bites and freeze 2 of the 4. If I remember (ha!!!) I try and pull them out the night before to defrost a bit in the fridge. If I don't, 2-3 minutes on defrost is all I need to warm them up. If they are completely defrosted, I usually do 45 seconds in the microwave. HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE DELICIOUS EGG BITES YOU ASK?? Ingredients: 12 eggs beaten 1 package bacon, cut and cooked on stove Green onion Shredded Cheese Directions: 1. Add 1-2 cups of water to your Instant pot 2. Fill mold...

BABY PROOFING- Don’t forget the furniture!

BABYPROOFING We hear about baby proofing all the time, and when we talk about it most people's minds go to the most common items such as oven doors , outlets , Stove handles , cabinets , doors and even toilets . Unfortunately, a commonly overlooked babyproofing item is furniture…YES, furniture! I am a facts and data kind of person, so I want to discuss the statistics first to help illustrate why this is such an important step in babyproofing. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) February 2022 Tip-Over Injuries report, there were an annual average of 22,500 emergency department treated injuries between 2018-2022, and 581 fatalities between 2000 and 2020. Of those 22,500 injuries 10,000 were from children under 18 years old and of the 581 fatalities 472 were children under 18. A few tools and a safety strap under $8 can save your child’s life. ( 2020 Tip-Over Report (cpsc.gov) ) Back in 2009 I had a close encounter with what...
