Sometimes life get's really tough and even straightforward tasks like meal planning can feel overwhelming. The last thing we need in those times is to be struggling to find something nourishing to eat so let's look at a way to simplify and explore how to create a kinder meal plan for those frantic seasons of life.
If you've not cooked steel cut oats as a batch before, it's really simple. Just cook them as a basic recipe in the Instant Pot with water and salt then add all your extras. Let me show you how.
