Countertop Cooking Challenge

Good. gravy.

After clearing showing just how much a mess I am when it comes to the Instant Pot (yikes!), I made one seriously divine batch of Instant Pot Mac & Cheese today. 

 

(I promise, I really do know how to cook ~ the Instant Pot is just clearly my arch nemesis!) 🙂

 

 

The recipe is from my friend Tiffany at Eat at Home Cooks, and goodness, it was so good! When she and I talked Friday and she taught me how to use my Instant Pot this was the recipe she said was her absolute favorite, so I knew I had to try it (my family is gonna love me tonight at dinnertime . . . )

 

In fact, it was so good that she added it to the April menu plans next month too. (Or you can find it right over HERE too.) 

 

 

If you struggle with getting dinner done, remember that this is the VERY LAST DAY to order the Eat at Home Menu Plans and save 25% when you use the code COUNTERTOP at checkout. 

 

 

 

 

These menu plans are WAY less than the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks each week, and I know they'll save your time, money and sanity every single day. I PROMISE IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH MENU PLANNING, GROCERY SHOPPING AND EASILY GETTTING DINNER ON THE TABLE, THESE ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY.

 

Last week using the menu plans made my family soooooo much happier~they came home each night and had dinner DONE because I had a plan in place. It reminded me (as it always does!) that our home is just happier when I take care of menu planning first, so I'm thrilled to be back on track (and already have my dinner planned for tonight. In fact I'll be making Eat at Home's Mac & Cheese on Facebook Live this morning in the Instant Pot and serving it up with salad and grilled salmon tonight)!

 

Here's what's included when you sign up (I KNOW you will love these, and they'll change dinner in your home)!

• Weekly menu plans for the entire month
• A set of slow cooker menu plans
• A set of no sugar – no flour menu plans
• A set of wholesome traditional menu plans
• A set of traditional menu plans
• A weekly dessert recipe (or salad with the no sugar no flour menu plan)
• One quick click to download all 4 sets of menus (in color or black and white ink~color coded to make your menu planning even easier)
• Basically, you’ll get 96 recipes with menu plans AND A GROCERY LIST, all included! 
• The menu plans cost as little as $1.21 per week when you sign up for a one year plan, or try out a 1 or 3 month subscription and see what you think.

I really do love these menu plans and know you will too!

 

 

P.S. I almost forgot~if you use the code COUNTERTOP now you also lock in your price on EAH menu plans FOREVER. If you've been on the fence they're worth trying out ~she also offers a money back guarantee, so there's no way you can lose with these!

My Instant Pot is now sitting on keep warm, noodles are ready to be added before dinner tonight, and I'm going to try making Tiffany's Instant Pot Mac & Cheese on Monday (I can't even wait ~ my 17 year old will be in heaven!) You can find the recipe for the Slow Cooker Parmesan Soup we made this morning in the Instant Pot in the Traditional Plan week of March 26th, and I know you'll love this one.

 

 

In case you've been on the fence this week about trying out the Eat at Home, don't forget that for a few more days only you can save 25% off the Eat at Home menu plans (which I just love!) with the code COUNTERTOP at checkout.

 

 Countertop Cooking Challenge

I dumped the slow cooker chicken vegetable soup in the crockpot this morning because that bag was full, and am making some homemade bread and salad to serve with it. (My ninja is getting a workout this week!)

 

If you've ever thought about trying out freezer cooking, I promise these meals will change your life (and I love that Tiffany includes a set of freezer meals each month in her menu plans!) After doing them over the summer I was completely hooked, and absolutely love how a little bit of prep work makes dinnertime so much easier for me.

 

 Countertop Cooking Challenge

PSST! I'm soooo excited about our PJ FREEZER COOKING PARTY TONIGHT ~ are you joining me?

It's day 3 of the Countertop Cooking Challenge, and goodness, my sweet husband is in heaven just having dinner done every night! Honestly, with 3 kids going different ways at night and us running in and out wayyyyy too often I skip making dinner because it's just a wee bit crazy around here, so I think our family personally benefits from our PPP challenges way more than you ever will. 🙂

 

Right this very minute my home is smelling amazing with tonight's Slow Cooker Sunday Dinner Chicken in the crockpot, 

 

and last night we had Eat at Home's Black Bean and Salsa Chicken (which my husband loved! I did need to add a little extra chicken broth but it was really so good and different than anything I'd ever made before.)

 

Today my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home also showed us how to make Korean BBQ Tacos in her pressure cooker today from the Feb 26 Slow Cooker Menu Plans (I'm so excited that she's showing us more Instant Pot tricks – I'm determined to figure this one out one of these days!)

I seriously need to do a Countertop Cooking Challenge every single week in our home!

Last night my hubby got home late from work (and kids were all heading different directions), but it was so nice to easily be able to feed everyone a decent meal when they were home.

 

It takes so little time when someone else does all the planning for you, and dinner was so good! I can't even wait to try out tonight's Slow Cooker Black Bean and Salsa Chicken (my house smells divine), and just love that dinner is done. 

 

My friend Tiffany also showed us how to make Lemon Chicken on a Bed of Sauerkraut from the Feb 26 Slow Cooker Menu Plans (I'm so excited that she's showing us more Instant Pot tricks – I'm determined to figure this one out one of these days!)

I'm so excited to have dinner done today!

My home smells amazing, I just had the yummiest salad for lunch, and I even have 2 loads of laundry tackled for the day.

 

I don't know what laundry has to do with menu planning, but for me it seems like if I get a good handle on meals in our home, every single other thing just gets done too. Whew!

This salad is from the February 5th No Sugar No Flour menus – it's the Eat at Home Cranberry Spinach Salad and ohhhhh so good!

 

My friend Tiffany also showed us how to make Spicy Chicken Soup in the Instant Pot this morning from the Feb 26 Slow Cooker Menu Plans (I'm so excited that she's showing us more Instant Pot tricks – I'm determined to figure this one out one of these days!)

Countertop Cooking Challenge

Just a reminder that our challenge starts tomorrow morning ~ I can't wait and hope you're joining me too!

Can you imagine going to the grocery store, buying oodles of groceries, and then just dumping a few of those bags of groceries in the trash?

 

You may just be doing that. 

 

So many people (myself included sometimes!) head to the store without a plan in place, buy things they may not use, and things end up getting wasted and thrown away ~ literally 25% of food in America is thrown away each year. 

 

But you and I are going to fix that. 

 

Crocktober wrapped up last fall, but back by popular demand we're doing a very similar series this February called the Countertop Cooking Challenge. (I think you're going to love it!) We're going to have a menu plan, grocery list, and recipes all pulled together before the week even starts.

 

Starting Monday, 2/26/18, I'm teaming up with my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home Cooks to bring you Crockpot and Instant Pot recipes for, and every single one of us is going to get dinner done.

 

To make your life waaaayyyyy easier (and mine too!) we'll use Tiffany's Eat at Home Menu Plans ~ which I've been using in our home and they're just fantastic.

 

I promise, these will save you a bundle!

 

In fact, people who shop with a menu plan and grocery list save 25-50% every single week on their food expenses.

 

And, a menu plan all of a sudden makes grocery shopping easy.

 

Best of all?

 

You'll actually eat well balanced meals with what you have in your kitchen and skip the drive thru.

 

Sound good?

 

I thought so too. 🙂

During the February 2018 Countertop Cooking Challenge I'll be cooking with you for a whole week including grocery lists and menu plans, and Tiffany and I will be cooking them up each day right up with you. 

I used the labels HERE to print these off and pop them into my freezer bags so I know what's in each bag and how to cook it!  If you're looking for freezer meal supplies you can find all of those HERE 🙂

 

 

My favorite part is that each morning I'll share a Facebook Live Video filling up Mrs. Potts (a.k.a. ~ my slow cooker), and it would be so stinkin' fun for me if you were on the other side of the screen filling up Mrs. Potts in your kitchen too.

 

 

Here's how the schedule should look: 🙂

• 9:00 – 9:30 AM Eastern Time – I'll be doing a Facebook Live Video showing how to make a recipe each morning
• 10:30 AM Eastern Time – Daily email goes out to regular email subscribers with all the info
• 1:30 PM Eastern Time – Blog post here on PPP with a replay of the video
• Between 4:30 – 6:30 PM Eastern Time (POSSIBLY! depends on family schedule) quick update over on Facebook with pic or live video of recipe
• My friend Tiffany from Eat at Home will also share on Facebook Live how to make several of these recipes in the Instant Pot in the afternoons

• THURSDAY, March 1st – Cilantro Lime Chicken Sandwiches
• FRIDAY, March 2nd – Zingy BBQ Chicken

 

 

 

Will you join me?

I'm so excited about our challenge starting next week ~ and promise this will save you a bundle! 

 

Starting Monday, February 26th and through March 2nd, we're joining with my friend Tiffany from Eat at Home Cooks for our Countertop Cooking Challenge.

 

 

And, to make things even a wee bit more fun, Wednesday night we're throwing in a fun Freezer Cooking Pajama Party that I'll host over on Facebook, so you can come join in the fun there too!

To prepare for all that craziness, I spent an hour this morning cleaning out my pantry (yikes.) and between the grocery lists and menu plans I'm using along with a tidied up kitchen, I feel like it's going to be so fun to get dinner done this week.

Before and after of my pantry. EEK!

The slime kind of won the battle, but I won the war. 🙂

As much as it drove me crazy to do it though, my pantry is tidied up (enough?) for me now, and I added a bunch of stuff to our donation bag (which needs to make a trip to the food pantry now!)

 

During the February 2018 Countertop Cooking Challenge I'll be cooking with you for a whole week including grocery lists and menu plans, and Tiffany and I will be cooking them up each day right up with you. 

 

And since we'll be doing one night of freezer cooking too, we added in freezer labels for your bags (you'll find the link to the freezer labels under the February 19th Slow Cooker Meal Plans when you sign up for Eat at Home!)

I used the labels HERE to print these off and pop them into my freezer bags so I know what's in each bag and how to cook it!  If you're looking for freezer meal supplies you can find all of those HERE 🙂

 

 

Each morning I'll share a Facebook Live Video filling up Mrs. Potts (a.k.a. ~ my slow cooker), and it would be so stinkin' fun for me if you were on the other side of the screen filling up Mrs. Potts in your kitchen too.

 

 

And on Wednesday night, we'll have such fun together in our pjs making 6 meals too!

Today's the last day of our 20 Days of Countertop Cooking Challenge . . . I'm a little sad because I've enjoyed cooking with you s0 much! 

 

Because I'm all organized over here (ahem.) I even have all my menu plans all put together in a binder . . .

 

 

(Thanks for the suggestion, Judy in our free Dinner's Done Facebook group – I loved it!)

Here's what we made today . . . 

Tonight's Slow Cooked Brown Sugar Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

 

Broccoli Salad Side Dish

This isn't the one I mentioned in the video but is one of my favorites 🙂 

 

Our FAVORITE Southern Living Chunky Apple Cake

• Thursday 8:45 AM – Ham Steak with Slow Cooked Apples and Butternut Squash
• Friday 8:45 AM – Slow Cooked Brown Sugar Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
  

 

If you're still interested in signing up, it's not too late ~ I'll personally be using the Whole Foods menu and can't wait to get started! Here's how the pricing breaks down:
