Meal Planning Monday, September 23rd

Happy Monday, friends!  Where have I been?  It was a rough week and I just never found the time to sit down.  For those of you that know me, I am not a big fan of change.  We had a big change at our office because one of my co-workers left our office for another opportunity.  I wish her well in her new venture.  Time was limited to meal prep for this week, but I really needed to be "on" this week like I was a couple of weeks ago.

 Breakfasts:  
Chocolate Chip Pancake Bake 
Breakfast Casserole.

 Lunches: 

 Hamburger Philly Cheesesteak on cabbage
Spaghetti Squash and chicken meatballs
Veggie Lo Mein Noodles

 Dinners: 

 Lasagna
Burritos
Kung Poa Tempura Cauliflower
Fried Rice
Salad Night

 Hopefully we will enjoy the Philly Cheesesteak over the cabbage.  I'm trying to keep it lower carb where I can, but I've decided for right now not to focus so much on that after my really off week.

 I've got ideas in my head for our meals on the weekend or for lunches for the following week.  Hopefully this means I'm getting back in my mindset of meal prepping myself to success.  Have you meal prepped for success this week?  Any great dinner ideas to share?

  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
