Instant Pot accessories

Leave a comment

So, you have an Instant Pot now! Yay!!

So you are either super excited and ready to make anything and everything OR you feel a bit intimidated and wondering why you insisted on following this instant pot fad…

well, either way, This post is for you! You don’t NEED accessories to make a lot of things in the Instant Pot but there are some super handy and fun accessories to help from anything from basic meals to fancy desserts!!

Also, if you are new to the Instant Pot, I hope you’ll explore this blog a bit to help you feel more comfortable (or just give you some good ideas to try) like my recipe search engines (most of them are Instant Pot ones) or this very first  review from when I got my first Instant Pot!!!

 

So here is a list of some awesome accessories:

   (These are affiliate links with Amazon.. shopping through them helps support this blog with out adding any extra cost to you. Thanks!)

 

Instant Pot liner – A second stainless steel liner can be really useful!

Here’s a 6 qrt stainless, 6 qrt ceramic, 8 qrt ceramic

Spring Form Pan – cheese cakes, brownies, lasagna

Steamer basket – veggies (makes pulling them out even easier)

Also these ikea steamers fit 3 in at once!!!  These are cheaper at Ikea if you have one near you!!

Extra sealing rings – the colored options make it possible to have a designated savory//sweet ring. to avoid cross contamination and smells. Genuine IP rings

  • Be advised, using sealing rings that aren’t from Instant Pot will make your warranty void.

glass lid – use whenever not cooking under pressure – popcorn, saute’ setting etc.

silicone lid– great for when you want to transfer your whole liner into the fridge, like when you are making yogurt.

Red Instant Pot Mitts and oven gloves – ever need to grab your liner or the bowl you have inside the liner (pip cooking) when it’s still hot? yeah me too.. these save your fingers!!!

ramekins – personal cheesecakes ( you can use mason jars too!)

Stackable steamers – great for doing your whole meal at once!!

Egg mold – like the popular Starbucks egg bites but at home!

cover If you want to keep it on the counter but covered! 🙂

 

I will be adding to this list as time goes on.

 

  • I do have a LOT of accessories for my Instant pots.. but I have not personally tried all of these.. by the description I believe all these to fit and work well in the IP. Happy shopping!

 

Don’t have an Instant Pot yet?  Jump on the party train and get one today!! 🙂

 

But What Should I Order?

Leave a comment

All of this “oily world” can be really overwhelming when you first go to  order with Young Living

So let’s break it down and let me explain that we have what you’d call tiered choices…. the GOOD, the BETTER, the BEST!

GOOD: #1

Become a Retail Customer. If you aren’t ready to jump in and purchase a kit just YET (and that’s totally okey! I want you to be able to get these awesome Young Living Oil’s for you and your family in anyway that is most comfortable for you) you have the option of becoming a Retail Customer.

  • You will pay FULL retail cost.
  • But you can still purchase Young Living Products at any time at Retail price.
  • I can help you with ordering and if you are interested you can be added to our educational groups Hello Essentials and Oiler Society on Facebook.
  • When you decide you want to make the switch from Retail to Wholesale Membership……just let me know and I will help you!

Click “Order Retail” button and follow instructions below…….

Order Retail
  1.  Choose Retail Costumer
  2. Be sure the Sponsor ID/Enroller ID fields are filled out with number – 2216620  ***STOP*** If you already have a friend/family selling YL oils, please contact them so you can enroll under them using their own ID.
  3. Fill in personal information (address, email, phone number)
  4. Select a user name, password and 4 digit PIN (Write this down!)
  5. Get Shoppin!   

—–>   Now jump with excitement and go tell a friend!   <—–

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

#2: BETTER

Become a Wholesale Member. Here’s a list of why this is a BETTER choice……

  • You can get the Basic Kit (comes with NO diffuser and just one bottle of oil) OR get the Premium Starter Kit which includes 11 essential oils (5ml bottles have about 80-100 drops), a diffuser of your choice, a roller fitment, 10 empty sample bottle drams, 2 NingXia Red pouches, oil samples, and more!
  • You’ll have access to informative, educational Facebook groups (It is a really awesome community where we talk about healthy living and how to best use essential oils as a natural way to support health and wellness for ourselves and our families.) and our team website that has tons of resources and information about Young Living Essential Oils.
  • The retail cost of this kit is over $300! But since Young Living wants new members to get the full experience of oils, they offer this to you at a huge discount (see info graphic below).
  • You will receive 24% off of everyday prices. There is NO obligation to “sell” or order regularly. Just enjoy your products at a lower price. If a year comes up and you’re still loving your oils and want to continue to be an active YL member, just purchase another 50pv (which equals about $50) worth of products and you’ll be set to go! Kinda like renewing your membership at a superstore or Amazon Prime, except they give you an updated membership and Young Living gives you actual products that you want. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me!

#3: BEST

Become a Wholesale Rewards Member. This is by far the BEST bang for your buck!

  • Signing up with Essential Rewards (ER) is like signing up for Stitch Fix or Birch Box.
  • You’ll have ALL the benefits as listed in #2!
  • You will get 24% off everyday prices
  • Discounted shipping
  • Points earned on your monthly orders and….
  • Special loyalty gifts from Young Living at 3/6/9/12 months!!!

Personally, signing up for ER really helped me start using oils in more ways every day, it’s fun to put new products to try in your order and find more and more ways to switch out other harmful products around our house!!

Are you prepared for Prime Day?

Leave a comment

Prime Day is July 11, are you ready? There are a couple of things you should do so you are ready to take advantage of the amazing deals that are coming this year!

 

The post may contain affiliate links. If you shop through our links I could get a small commission at no extra cost to you.

 

First of all and Most important: If you do not have a PRIME membership with Amazon you’ll need it before you can order any of the Prime Day special sales. But don’t worry. You can sign up for a free 30 days! Enjoy the benefits of the sales prices and all that Prime membership has to offer. If you don’t won’t to continue your membership you can cancel anytime!!

Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial

 

Next,  mark your calendars!! Sales will start some time in the evening of July 10th and will be released periodically for the next 30 hours!!

 

Follow our Facebook page to see updates and deals on Prime Day!

 

It may be a good idea to start your wishlist and have a talk with your husband/wife about a budget?! (only if you want to avoid problems at the next budget meeting!! ?)

Last year there were lots of appliances… Amazon sold 215,000 Instant Pots alone during last years Prime Day. If you are in the market for one or even a 2nd one (wouldn’t that be amazing???!!) I expect they will have another great deal this year!  I also expect to see a lot of big play items like trampolines, play sets for the back yard, toys of all kinds so think Christmas and Birthday stock piling!   Electronics were a big sales category last year as well! Even household things like robotic vacuums… really it’s going to be a ton of different things, big and small!

 

Something new this year, Amazon has started selling IKEA Items… so maybe we’ll see some deals there too?!!

If you can’t tell already, I’m really excited!! It’s fun to see all the deals and I’d love to help you all get what you are wishing for! 🙂 So leave a comment or send a message and let me know what you will be looking for so I can keep an eye out for you!

 

 

Happy shopping,

Walmart Grocery – What I Think After A Month

Seriously Easy Instant Pot Greek Yogurt!

What is this Instant Pot craze?

Cooking once for the whole month. Take 2!

Leave a comment

Its February!  yay! We have less than a month until our due date! And boy am I feeling pregnant these days!! Can’t wait to meet this growing boy and to be done being pregnant! haha It’s truly amazing what our bodies can do, and being a part of this miracle is incredible!

 

I loved not cooking last month! I had a freezer stocked of 30 meals and didn’t have to worry about much when it came time to getting food on the table each night. No matter how busy we were or tired I was!

 

So, we did it again for this month! This time I chose to create my own menu from scratch, searching through so many wonderful recipes at Once a Month Meals! I mixed it up with different serving day options, mostly using my Instant Pot but also my oven!

I love how easy it is to find recipes your family will enjoy, and customize them for your family size!

 

This time along with the 30 meals for us, I also made a few dinners for my parent’s freezer and selected a few different recipes for lunches for myself. (Pizza stuffed sweet potatoes, turkey zucchini boats, and marinated chicken thighs, yum!)

 

I won’t deny that it was a lot of work and at the end of the day this time, I began to feel like I over did it… (at this point just trying to walk and breath is a workout though! ) AND the truly awesome thing is now I’m done cooking for a while and providing dinner for my family each night involves very minimal effort and hardly any mess! In fact looking at our schedule we will probably stretch these meals out through March as well!

 

I wanted to show you a few of the details and lists that I love about Once A Month Meals and why I wouldn’t do this without their wonderful help!
