You all know how obsessed I am with my Instant Pot. I did a series of videos last year on some easy recipes and the basics on how to use it on my facebook page. I am still loving it and use it several times a week, not only for dinners, but quick and easy sides, and of course, my go to hard boiled eggs!
I had a REALLY fun summer and did all the things with my family, my kids and friends. With that came some unwanted pounds and I have been trying to find healthier alternatives to some of my on- the- go meals and take out dishes. I was sent an Anti-Inflammatory Instant Pot cookbook. It has re-ignited my passion for the Instant Pot and inspired me to try new and HEALTHY recipes.
This cookbook has 175 recipes with photos throughout. It is an easy-to-understand cookbook that take you step-by-step through exactly how the Instant Pot works and offers simple recipes that anyone can follow. I have included the Orange Ginger Salmon recipe from the cookbook below so you can see the simplicity of the recipes. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can!!
Orange Ginger Salmon
When you take a few minutes to let your salmon marinate before cooking, the results are worth the time and effort. Orange and ginger come together to create a deliciously flavored fish that will make you want more. This dish pairs perfectly wish Steamed Broccoli and Saucy Brussels Sprouts and Carrots.
- Hands-On Time: 35 minutes

Serves 4

1 In a blender, place the ginger, garlic, coconut aminos, orange juice, almond butter, and salt and blend until smooth.
2 Place the salmon into a 7-cup glass bowl and pour the marinade over the salmon. Place this in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 30 minutes.

THE POWER OF FRESH GINGER
In addition to its anti-inflammatory benefits, fresh ginger is also often used to treat nausea and morning sickness. Food is medicine!

I also have a confession to make. I have been having an affair…. on my Instant Pot! I still love it JUST as much, but I may actually love my new kitchen gadget even more! It’s the Air Fryer!! How many of you drank the kool-aid?! You can literally use it for anything and everything. I put away my toaster and it’s small enough that it makes food fast! It is also another healthy option to cook your food. I love experimenting with new foods and recipes.
I was sent the Easy Air Fryer Cookbook. It offers easy air-fried favorites made healthy. It is packed with 80 delicious recipes and every recipe has been customized to meet the nutritional guidelines established by the American Diabetes Association making them all diabetes-friendly! Here is a teaser of just a few of the recipes:
- Sunday Morning French Toast
- Diner-Style Pork Chops
- Crisp Parmesan Broccoli Florets
- Pecan Baked Apples
- Southwestern Egg Rolls
- Nashville Hot Chicken
Both of these cookbooks are on shelves just in time for the holidays. If you know someone who loves their kitchen gadgets as much as I do, either of these would make a great gift. Most people are always looking for ways to get healthy in the New Year and both of these cookbooks do just that!
