Summer Recipes in the Instant Pot, Air Fryer and Crock Pot
     Most of us 3 Winks women live in Phoenix.  Lindsey, Maddy and I are all jealous of Alicia during this time of year because she lives in the reasonably temperate California Bay Area while we live here, in the fiery inferno of Phoenix, Arizona.   
     When you live in a fiery inferno, you still have to feed your family healthy meals, but you search diligently for ways to do it without turning on your oven and heating up the house.  Even when we use a crock pot or other appliance, we sometimes put it outside on the patio to keep from adding any more heat to the house.  The struggle is real.  For years, I have used my crock pot as a great oven alternative during the summer.  Now, in recent years, the Air Fryer and the Instant Pot have entered the picture.  I am still in the learning curve for both of those appliances, but my girls have already embraced them as the blessing that they are.  Today, I am going to share with you some of our favorite and simple recipes to make in these gadgets that truly help to keep the heat out of the house! 

Instant pot

  • Cog au Vin-Lindsey posted this recipe over the holidays, but it is delicious any time of the year!
  • Glazed Carrots and Butternut Squash-This is a recipe that I came up with!  A great side! 
  • Cheesecake!  I used the recipe that came with my Instant Pot, it came out creamy and delicious! 

​Air Fryer

  • Gluten-Free Pizza-Lindsey goes gluten-free for her husband.  This could be done with a regular crust as well. 
  • Chicken Chimichanga-Add some guacamole and sour cream! 
  • Air Fryer Pork Chops-moist and juicy! 

Crock Pot

  • BBQ Pulled Pork-YUM!
  • Crockpot Boeuf Bourguingnon-This dish is absolutely gorgeous and delicious! 
  • Chicken Taco Soup-This recipe is so flavorful.  You could also make beef taco soup in the same way. 
    Whelp, now I'm hungry!  Luckily, recipes like these will help to feed me and keep the house from heating up!  What do you use your Instant Pot, Crock Pot and Air Fryer for?  I'd love to try some new recipes!
