Happy National Johnny Appleseed Day! (Thanks to The Reese Triplets for the reminder.) I figured that this would be the perfect time to share the delicious Instant Pot cinnamon apple oatmeal baby food recipe that I made recently. So easy and inexpensive to make!
Instant Pot Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Baby Food Recipe
I’ve been cooking (and baking) a lot lately in the Instant Pot. An Instant Pot sure helps out with our busy schedule and creates recipes so much faster.
National Johnny Appleseed Day
We all learned during our school days about the man who tended orchards. John Chapman became known as Johnny Appleseed when he traveled the country to propagate apple orchards with seeds. Along the way he also shared uplifting messages. National Johnny Appleseed Day is recognized on either September 26th (John Chapman’s birthday) or March 11th.
