Monday - French Onion Chicken & Rice

Tuesday - Valentine's Date night (don't know where yet)

Wednesday - left overs

Thursday - Cheeseburger Casserole

Friday - Homemade Pizza

Saturday - Chicken Fried Steak

    @canonmom413 oh I never thought about for breakfasts.  We are always rushing to get out the door that I usually just grab and go.  I really need to change that habit now.  What all do you cook for breakfast?

    Hard boiled eggs take 4 minutes to cook for me once pressure comes up. Then immediately into an ice bath. So freaking easy to peel. I also make frittatas in ramekins. @mrs_fogue

    Hmmm... this makes me think I need to convince DH to just get a dang Instant Pot already. He keeps hoping his parents will give us their extra pressure cooker.  :|

    @MamaBear148 This is the recipe I follow: https://ketogasm.com/low-carb-pho-vietnamese-beef-noodle-soup-recipe/ . I change the meat according to what we want. I also use kelp noodles but you can use any noodles you want.

    @canonmom413 @mrs_fogue - I made steel cut oatmeal this morning in my instantpot.  I think it took 15 minutes, including coming to pressure.  I absolutely love my instant pot.
