Britt I am going to need to get your IP recipes.0

I always feel so bad when people ask for recipes because I really only use them for baking since that's scientific or if I pick up an ingredient I've never used before and need ideas. With cooking, I really just put things together that I think would be yummy, so I can tell you what I put in the pot! The instant pot makes it even easier to just dump stuff in.
I put in a whole minced shallot, 1 chopped zucchini, about a tablespoon of minced garlic from the jar, half a box of gluten free rotini, maybe two cups of diced canned tomatoes and the juice (I had this leftover from something else, so I am not 100% sure of the measurement), about a cup of chopped cherry tomatoes, about 3/4 cup of white wine, and a few pinches of salt. I pressure cooked for 10 minutes, and that's it! I added some pepper and a tiny bit of olive oil on top after plating. I can start posting what I put in the pot when I post my meals from now on if that would be helpful!0 -
I just need an idea if how much to put in the pot. I guess I can cut the bigger recipes in half for use in the smaller cooker. I want to add some variety to me vegetarian meals.0
-
Totally understandable! I will post what I put in the pot from now on
I would also Google for vegetarian IP recipes because from what I have gathered, most of the veg bloggers only cook for 1-2 people. I only know of a few who have whole families they make veg meals for, so you probably won't even have to adjust recipes if you find some online.
I am planning to make fried rice and teriyaki eggplant tomorrow, so I will post everything I use then.0 -

Cabbage salad
Pasta with zucchini, shallots, and tomatoes
Glass of red
Not pictured: coffee and 1 piece each of dark chocolate-covered ginger and orange slices
Why didn't I know cabbage salad was a thing?! I have a head I need to get rid of, and I decided to try it tossed with some ACV vinaigrette and was blown away! I found out later that cabbage salad is actually a thing!!!! SOOOO GOOOD!
And more IP yumminess: threw the veggies and pasta in my IP and had a perfectly cooked pasta dish 10 minutes later.
Britt... raw red cabbage salad is super delish. I just cut it in half and then slice it super thin, as thin as I can, then just throw in some green onions and balsamic glaze and olive oil....salt n' peppa....just let it sit in the frig a couple hours. My mouth salivates just thinking about it.
Your meals are lookin' really good....good job making the time to cook with your busy schedule, I know that must be hard.0 -

That sounds delicious, I would love to have the info on that.

Kat, I actually don't like red cabbage at all! Maybe that's why I had never considered having green cabbage as a salad. But it was SO good! And thank you -- the IP really makes it effortless. I definitely don't spend more than 20 minutes making meals when I use it.
Tracey, I just went through my produce and realize that I need to use up a zucchini first, so I will make the eggplant another time. I'm just going to stir-fry the zucchini with onions and soy sauce with the IP saute setting.0 -
Today's OMAD:
Working on a paper, so I ate this in less than an hour.
Beyond meat "beef" fried rice ("beef," onions, carrots, and corn sautéed in IP + 1 rice cooker cup of rice + 1/4 cup each of white wine, broth, and water + 1 dash of rice vinegar pressure cooked on high for 4 minutes with a natural steam release + cabbage and coconut aminos added at the end)
Zucchini and onions sautéed in IP (I accidentally used the pour on my pepper shaker!)
Vegan version of yum yum sauce
Ginger-coconut amino dipping sauce
Not pictured: glass of red and 2 pieces of dark chocolate-covered ginger. Will likely have a bunch of black coffee later today!0 -

Add a little bit of raw broccoli cut very small and it is a good combo with it!0 -
Funny how we all have different taste buds! Britt...which flavor of 'Garden of Life raw protein' do you like best? I was thinking the vanilla would be good because I could change it up. I like that it has 20 grams of protein per serving. Thanxxxx
***I saw several reviews that said the company changed the formula and it no longer tastes good. Have you noticed anything like that? Also...could you take a picture of the container as there seems to be a lot of different ones. Sorry & thanxxxx0 -
I prefer plain whey protein that can be flavored any way you want. Flavored stuff can get old and the flavor overides stuff like fruit or other things you may want to add with it.0

Kat, I use this one in the chocolate flavor, and I also have a box of the Raw Protein & Greens packets in the vanilla flavor. I haven't tried the latter yet. I used to only get vanilla for the same reason you listed, but I found that I still preferred chocolate because I don't usually add anything to my shakes besides non-dairy milk and iced coffee. This is actually only my second tub of GoL, so I don't know about a formula change over time. I used to be a hardcore PlantFusion girl, which is delicious, but I wanted to try something raw to increase my raw intake and have stuck with this for a little while. I like it a lot. Doesn't taste bad at all. As with all protein, it does get thick upon sitting, but it seems to thicken much quicker than any others that I have used. You have to keep shaking it up after the first 10 or so minutes.0

Bob, I tend to not use fruit with my protein shakes since I usually am using them as a way to get in some protein without a lot of carbs since my whole diet is pretty carb-heavy, but what you're saying makes sense if you do change up your ingredients. I don't really add much to mine that wouldn't always go with chocolate.0
-
Thank you Britt and Bob. Thanks for the image Britt. I'm gonna try some. I think they carry it at GNC so I'll look there since it's right around the corner if it works out I'll order from Amazon if it's a better price.

I bought your protein powder Britt. I bought the vanilla because I eat my OMAD at 5 so I didn't want the caffeine from the chocolate at night. I only had it once so far but I'm going to try to have it while I'm in the last minutes of preparing dinner....I want that extra 22 grams of protein. Hope to see you when your schedule lets up. Much success to ya
