Instant Pot Mississippi Meatballs

 


Mississippi Meatballs



Ingredients:
- 1 32oz bag frozen meatballs
- 1 packet au jus
- 1 small jar pepperoncini
- 1 packet ranch seasoning or 2-3 tbs of ranch seasoning
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 stick butter, cut into pats
Combine everything in Instant Pot and cook for 30 minutes.

This was okay. Lincoln is 6 weeks old so I needed an easy throw together meal. My family didn't really like it though. It did taste a bit too processed and salty, so I probably wouldn't make it again. I served it with a bagged salad kit and over egg noodles.

Quesaritos

 


Quesaritos

This was just a random clean out the pantry meal. I was able to cook dinner again (yay!) Lincoln was cooperating lol. He likes to be held non stop, and mainly by me. But we've been having Craig give him a formula bottle (he's breastfed) in the evenings so I can do stuff....and it's really working out great. It takes some of the pressure off me and it helps them bond.

This quesarito was just whatever we had already lol. I spread a tortilla with a layer of canned fat free baked beans, a packet of Taco Bell hot sauce, ground beef that I cooked with taco seasoning, chopped onions, sour cream and cheese. Then I grilled it up in a pan and that's it. Super yummy and quick. 

For my quesarito I used a low carb tortilla and fat free cheese. 


I grilled the family's quesarito's with butter, but since mine was lower calorie I used this low calorie butter. It was crazy, instead of melting on the skillet it just evaporated lol. 

Baby tax!

Garlic Parm Wings with Mac & Cheese and Green Beans

 


Garlic Parm Wings with Mac & Cheese and Green Beans

This is the first meal I've cooked since Lincoln was born! He's 5 weeks now. Before tonight we had dinners I had prepped while I was pregnant, and some frozen foods. This was, easy fast and yummy.


I just air fried the wings, added pepper and a smidge of cayenne to the mac & cheese, and the green beans were frozen that I mixed with butter/garlic/salt/pepper.

Here's my little guy, he was born on August 30th.
