We are talking
macros healthy or like clean-eating healthy? The top 3 recipes I like to start people out with are:
1.
Kalua pig (this changed my mind about cabbage, lol)
2.
Crack chicken
3.
Chili: Brown the meat in a skillet. Add whatever you want into the pot, with any tomato sauce being last (because it scalds). So browned meat & canned beans first, then beef stock, tomato stuff (paste, salsa, etc.). Don't stir. 18 minutes on manual, then a quick pressure release.
The real challenge with the Instant Pot is overcoming our brains. Our brains automatically over-complicate things & do what I call the "BrainSnap", which is where your brain says "seems hard, I quit". Most IP recipes are literally just dumping stuff in & pressing a button, but the BrainSnap cuts us off from taking advantage of using really awesome convenience tools like it. Cooking is easy (just 4 things - hand-assembly, cutting, stirring, cooking to perfection), but our brains create that kind of rite-of-passage barrier for even doing simple things. If you're willing to swivel your perspective around (not always easy, especially when you're tired or unfamiliar with a recipe!), then you can bypass that barrier & get to the good stuff! I've come to appreciate just how difficult it can be to wrap my mind around doing stuff sometimes, and how easy most stuff, like cooking, really is - the task isn't the problem, it's our brain shutting us down from action that's the real problem lol.
