Instant Pot Lemon Risotto
Instant Pot for the Win! I am all about my Instant Pot. I use it for mac-n-cheese, chicken, mashed potatoes, cheesecake and now this Lemon Risotto.

I am ALL about oatmeal, especially steel cut oats. I literally can eat them morning, noon and night…and these Winter Spiced Oats are perfect for a chilly morning by the fire. all about the spices… I love all the warm spices… think chai tea spices.

The spice blend I landed on (after several attempts) is cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cardamon. You could also use pumpkin pie spice with additional cloves and cinnamon if you wanted. You could also…
