Initially I was skeptical, but having lived it for 3 months I figured I'd share my experience. Disclaimer: Links in this post may be affiliate links. Why did I decide to …

Instant Pot Lentil Soup: Never eat the same soup twice
Recently the lovely folks at SlowFoodsUSA and Camellia teamed up with some of us Meatless Monday bloggers to create some recipes to promote plant-based foods and slow cooking. Unfortunately, my shipment got delayed and I didn't receive my package until the weekend of my birthday. One week before the holidays. No problem I thought, I can do a post over the holidays.
