What's Cookin' Wednesday, July 3rd

Happy Wednesday a/k/a Hump Day friends!  If you are like me, there are many that like the convenience of smoothies for breakfast.  I was a big fan but found recently that they were not keeping me full as long as they once did.  I really enjoyed the smoothies and they were a great way for me to get my collagen peptides along with some fruits in my diet.  Since they were not keeping me full, I decided I needed to find another way to make this happen.  Honestly, I didn't research it much to find recipes or anything, I just got creative with what I had on hand.  Not your typical recipe as there is no cooking to it, but here's my variation on the smoothie bowl:  1/2 cup of fat free Greek yogurt, half the serving of the frozen fruit that my husband bought me for my smoothies from Costco, 1/3 tablespoon of each ground flaxseed and chia seeds, 2 scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides.  It isn't overly pretty to look at, but it is filling and tasty.  I prepared several for my breakfasts this week.  I decided to try something a little different this week and used mango and pineapple instead of the berries.  Do you have a favorite breakfast?  Is it filling?  I would love to hear about it!  It's nice to change it up occasionally.

    I love it...a good reminder that what once worked may not always work. Constantly adjust and accommodate the changes in our bodies and lives!

      While not a big fan of change, I can't eat the same thing everyday or I get bored and I go WAY off plan!

    I am very regimented: I have one egg with either bacon, toast or cheese. OR, if time is a crunch, like today, than a breakfast bar. I also drink coffee, but I will say that I stay filled to lunch time!

      I enjoy changing it up from time to time, but probably tomorrow, I'll have 2 poached eggs and 1 piece of toast.

My Favorite Instant Pot Recipe is...Collab

Image
  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 an

What's Cookin' Wednesday: Hungry Man Cornbread

Image
  This recipe was my Mom's recipe that she submitted to the PTA years ago when I was in elementary school.  The recipe books were mimeographed and stapled together.  Hungry Man Cornbread (original recipe from memory) : 2 packages of cornbread mix (she used Martha White), prepared according to the package. 1 pound of ground beef, browned (usually with onion) American Cheese Slices Prepare your cornbread according to the package.  Brown your ground beef with onion, if desired, and seasonings of your choosing.  Prepare a 9 X 13 inch pan.  Pour half of your cornbread mixture (or if you prepare them one at a time, put one package of cornbread mix, prepared) in the bottom of the pan.  Top with your ground beef mixture, then top the ground beef mixture with Cheese Slices.  Top all of this with the other half of your prepared cornbread mix.  Cook on 400 for about 20 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Hungry Man Cornbread ( Tracey's way ) I use the cornbread recipe from
