Make Mother's Day A Breeze With These 10 Instant Pot Recipes For Mother's Day Brunch
Even though Mother's Day is a day to celebrate moms, somehow moms usually still end up doing much of the preparation and cooking for Mother's Day festivities. The men in my family are usually quick to help out, but honestly, I would prefer my husband take care of our kids so that I can cook a delicious meal for my own mother and grandmother in peace. Short of ordering takeout, using an Instant Pot to make food on Mother's Day is the way to go. Which is why these 10 Instant Pot recipes for Mother's Day Brunch are absolute lifesavers in the time-saving department.
One of the wonderful things about brunch is the opportunity it gives to cook a variety of foods. Because brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch basically — if you can serve it for breakfast or lunch, you're in brunch territory. But with so much variety, your oven and stovetop can become overcrowded. This is another instance in which an Instant Pot saves the day. Not only does it get the job done in a timely manner, it frees up other kitchen appliances for cooking more yummy food.
