What's Cookin Wednesday: InstantPot Edition, September 2nd


Mexican Chicken Spaghetti

2 chicken breasts approx 1 lbs., boneless, skinless, cut into cubes

1 medium onion diced

2 cans rotel

2 cans cream of chicken soup

8 oz spaghetti noodles uncooked, broken into thirds (basically half a box you'd find in the store)

8 oz Cheddar Cheese, cubed

1 c chicken broth

Add onions and cubed chicken into your pot, spread out across the bottom.  Use the Saute feature to cook the chicken a little (so that the outsides turn white).

Pour 1 can of Rotel over this mixture

Break your noodles into 3 equal parts (so they’re shorter) and sprinkle them on top

don’t throw in in big chunks because they’ll come out clumped too, sprinkle

Then pour your 2nd can of Rotel over the noodles

In a bowl whisk together cans of cream of chicken, mushroom, and broth until smooth

Carefully pour into your pot

Close lid and steam valve and set to pressure cook, high for 8 minutes

Quick releasing the pressure when done cooking the chicken and noodles is best

Remove the lid after cook time and steam is released

Stir in cheese until melted, serve

I guesstimated 8 servings:

Green: 10 SP

Blue: 9 SP

Purple: 7 SP

I based my recipe off of this one, but I did change it up a little bit.

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Meal Plan (and make a plan) Monday, April 27, 2025

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you are looking forward to a good week!  It's time again to share my meal plan for the week.  I suspect breakfasts will be fend for ourselves.  Last week, I think we all ate a lot of cereal.  Lunches this week will likely be chicken salad and a pasta meal.  I, unfortunately, got hit with a round of vertigo at the end of last week that is wrecking havoc on my ability to move too much and it stinks.  I will be going back to what the allergy doctor suggested a couple of years ago...using my daily oral meds (Xyzal and Mucinex), as well as nasal rinse twice a day and nasal allergy spray.  While I know that vertigo for everyone isn't caused by the fluid in the ears, it seems to be for me most times when I've had it.  It's miserable when I can't even sit up without feeling nauseous. Anyway, for that reason, our meals for the week are going to be relatively easy and may even be repeats of meals I have had on the plan th...
