Braised Beef & Mushroom Stew over Mashed Potatoes

While the mashed potatoes and braised meat keep you feeling full, the stew itself warms you all the way through. Taking under 5 hours, this meal is an easy way to give yourself or your loved ones a decadent meal that took almost no effort to put together. Or even better, make the whole thing for yourself and keep it in your freezer for a rainy day for up to 3 months!
Overnight Instant Pot Oatmeal
My favourite time to make this meal is the night before a big ski trip. When you’re getting up and leaving at 5 am to spend all day in the cold getting some exercise, the best thing is a fresh, hot bowl of oatmeal. It keeps you going all day and all you have to do is put it in a bowl to eat it!
