5 Last Minute New Year’s Eve Instant Pot Recipe Ideas
I don’t know about you but I’m all about appetizers and snack-y foods on New Year’s Eve. Give me all the chips, and all the crackers, and all the dips, and all the charcuterie boards. The only problem with me and New Year’s Eve is that I don’t eat after 9 pm. This is a goal Greg and I have been doing consistently since 2003. It’s the one night a year that I seriously hate my 9 pm eating cut off time. Lol. Here are 5 last minute New Year’s Eve Instant Pot recipe ideas for you! Plus a few Crockpot ideas too. Enjoy and HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
