My Favorite Instant Pot Recipe is...Collab

A big THANK YOU to Kim over at A Girl and Her Phone for putting together this collaboration! This time we are doing our favorite Instant Pot recipe. I will be honest and say that I have not made Fried Rice in the Instant Pot before but it is a family favorite! I used this Easy Instant Pot Hibachi Fried Rice as my guide. We had brown basmati rice that had already been cooked that I needed to use, as well as some shredded chicken that I had on hand. Also, I used the veggies from a Stir Fry Teriyaki Kit but not the sauce. This was definitely a good choice for my crew! Looking forward to making this again!

Here's how I modified the recipe to make it work for me:

Sesame oil - 1Tbsp

Bragg Organic coconut liquid aminos - 3 Tbsp

Unsalted butter - 1Tbsp

Egg(s) - 4item(s)

Stir fry vegetables without sauce - 9 cup(s)

Cooked brown rice - 4 cup(s)

Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast(s) - 8oz

I added the sesame oil, cooked down the onions and veggies. Then added the butter and cooked the eggs. Added the cooked brown rice. After mixing the rice and veggies, added the chicken in. After that was all mixed together, I added the Liquid Aminos.

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.
