Instant Pot Lentil Soup with Potatoes and Spinach

I thought I'd share my recipe for lentil soup with potatoes and spinach made in the instant pot. Chris shared with you a picture of her soup that she had when we went out for lunch.

You may (or may not) consider being over 50 older, but at any age, it is a smart move to avoid falls. Whether you are a woman in your 40's, 50's or 60's, a fall is not something you want to experience. Often the cause of a fall - a slip, trip or stumble -  is something simple and preventable.  Even if you haven't fallen in the last year or two, now is the time to prepare. If you have fallen, it's even more important to make sure you don't get seriously injured. We all know that It's much better to avoid...
