I'm loving all the things cooked in the Instant Pot.  What would normally take 45 minutes to an hour takes 20 minutes.  When I get home from work I am starving (of course I'm always hungry) and it's so nice to get things done quickly!

This is my own version of AIP so if you're not in a reintroduction phase please use caution with spices.  This is the Instant Pot Curried Lemon Coconut Chicken from Kitchen Stewardship.


Funny enough I made roasted broccoli with this too and cauliflower rice.  Very similar to the butter chicken I made last week, just without the ghee!

I should have taken additional pictures but this just doesn't look pretty enough to photograph!  I snacked on a few pieces the day after I made this too.

Thursday night is usually reserved for breakfast but D wasn't feeling good.  BUT, I should back track my day so you come to my present state of mind.  Yesterday I worked from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm.  My work has bi-yearly trade shows and everyone works all day.  I didn't get dinner until after I got home and already exhausted.  


Thursday I would typically run at the gym but since I knew I would be exhausted I made it my rest day.Jack got me up around 4 to go outside and luckily I fell back to sleep until D's alarm went off.  Up and out of bed I fed the furry beasties and made D his weekday breakfast.  I so wanted to go back to bed!  D said why don't you?!  Seriously I have to be to work I can't do that.  I showered and made my breakfast and that's when his throat clearing began and said he thought he was getting sick.  SO he stayed home and I went to work.  Jack tore down the curtains and kicked D in the face within the hour I was gone.  UGH!  I carried on with my day.  At lunch I ran to Trader Joe's and got a few items and D's favorite chocolates and a soft pretzel.  Home and was able  to wolf down my shake and some veggies.  The rest of the day was uneventful until I was asked to go to get chicken noodle soup and phish food ice cream.



After the store I got home, fed the beasties again, gave D his soup and roll followed by his ice cream and made my dinner.  I was starving so grabbed things that were already done.  Sugar snap peas to snack.  I warmed up some hash browns in a skillet then added my leftover chicken on the side and I topped the hash browns with a fried egg.  Still I was hungry and ate 2 tbs of coconut butter.  It only has 2 grams of sugar so I believe I am ok there.  I feel I need more protein so I may grab some chorizo Applegate Organic Turkey Breast.  Bed will certainly happen early as well!

Though this will be me....

But, I will go to the gym for 5 am!
