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!

S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe here from Six Sisters' Stuff. The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings. I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so. There were a couple that were smaller.
