[quote=Anonymous]I’m the meatball lover - I am suuuper picky about frozen food and how it tastes.

Chili is one of the few things that freezes well.

Chicken breasts can be portioned, trimmed and placed in a marinade and then frozen. You can pop them in the InstantPot frozen or thawed. Just cook on manual 12 min for thawed, 20 for frozen.

The biggest thing that made sense for me post partum was to shift from being primarily a “stovetop” cook to an “oven and instant pot” cook.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t cook - it was that I could not spend a lot of time chopping and prepping ingredients - so I used more prechopped veggies, more prepared herbs and spices. I learned to use garlic powder which is in a lot of Ambitious Kitchen recipes instead of mincing fresh garlic.

I couldn’t spend time stirring / sautéing multiple pans on the the stovetop - but I could corral my toddler and baby in order to pop things into the InstantPot or oven.

I also prioritized recipes that are not super time sensitive - with little kids you need some leeway that if the timer goes off but you are changing a diaper, it won’t be a disaster to leave it for a few extra minutes. [/quote]
