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 Cookin Wednesday, November 18, 2020: Mississippi Chicken, Slow Cooker Version

Image
  Happy Wednesday friends!  We tried a new recipe a few weeks ago and liked it enough to add it to our meal planning rotation.  I wanted to share it with you.  Sometimes we have to tweak things to make it a little more WW friendly. 2 oz/2 Tbsp of KerryGold Butter 4 Pepperoncinis peppers with about a Tbsp of the juice 1 oz of McCormick's ranch dressing seasoning  1 packet Chicken gravy mix packet 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast 1/2 cup water 1. Place all the ingredient in your slow cooker 2. Cook on low for 8 hours. 3. Remove and shred chicken. We had it with some steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes made with Fat Free Greek Yogurt.  We all enjoyed this greatly and ate leftovers until they were gone!  I hope you enjoy as much as we did!  I used this recipe as my guide .  This can be done in the InstantPot as well, but we've done it in the Crock-Pot.  Although she says it isn't necessary to add the water, because I didn't add all the juice, I added the water.

MyWW Purple Meal Planning Monday, November 16, 2020

  Monday already?  Well, yes, it is!  I am feeling more prepared for this week than last week!  I am on MyWW Purple. Breakfasts this week: Mom-lets with Canadian Bacon, bacon bits and a little cheese with cheesy hash browns for 2 days.  I will have 2 Mom-lets and then a serving of the hashbrowns. I will likely have oatmeal 2 days and then will probably "wing it" with an egg in a basket for a day. Lunches will likely be leftovers from dinner. Dinner plan this week is as follows, but as always is subject to change without notice. Monday: Pumpkin Soup, possibly some crescents on the side. Tuesday: Chicken Fajita Pasta (Instant Pot) Wednesday: Cheeseburger and Tot Casserole (Casserole Crock) Thursday: Chili Mac (Instant Pot) Friday: Chicken Ranch Bake with veggies I really don't have a plan for Saturday and Sunday yet.   Having a plan is going to be a big help for this week and keeping me on my plan.  How are you setting yourself up for success? Have a great week, friends!

  Happy hump day friends!  Now that I have finally gotten an Instant Pot, I'm determined to use it more often.  I was craving Philly Cheese Steak so I hit up Pinterest and found this Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta .  It was pretty tasty!   Ingredients:  1 lb ground beef 1 cup of onion - diced 1/2 tablespoon garlic - minced 1 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 cup of bell pepper - chopped 2 tablespoons ketchup 2 cups beef broth 8 oz pasta - ziti, penne, shell. It is not recommended to use egg noodles. 6 oz provolone cheese - sliced I had already browned my ground beef during meal prep so I didn't follow the recipe exactly.  The original recipe calls for Olive Oil, but I didn't use it and just sprayed my IP with Avocado Oil.   Put your already browned ground beef into the IP.  Add the onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and green peppers. Stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2
