Meal Planning Monday, October 7th

Happy Monday friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  It was my 30 year class reunion this weekend so I got to see some people I haven't seen in years.  Last week was a bit of a rough week food-wise, but we made it through and I had a loss on the official scale!  I think it's a number I've seen before, but it's still going in the right direction.  Okay, let's get into it.  Meals for this week are:

 Breakfasts: waffle sticks using my new Pampered Chef pan and probably a breakfast casserole for me. 

 Lunches:  Combination of salads, Lentil Tortilla Soup, Bean and Cheese Quesadillas and Bean and Cheese Rolled tacos a/k/a taquitos.

 Dinners:
I am excited about this week and looking forward seeing how I can improve this week.  I had 4 days of blue dot days, walked more than I have been, so I'm feeling good about that!  Hope everyone has a great week!

    Ok...I’m a little slow on the uptake apparently....and if I’m wrong I am going to sound like an idiot....but I think...maybe possibly...Did you recently do a tastebud challenge? I commented there as no excuses mtb and weight loss. Same name...and I made the cow connection! (Which was referenced there and pictured here!)

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 an
