Pressure Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken


This Pressure Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken looked pretty good so into the Instant Pot it went. The feedback from my oldest was...

"Mom, this is at the top of my favorites now! It's not the first, but it's at the top!"

Well then, there we go! However, my youngest refused to eat it because I added bean sprouts and little seeds. Oh no! Not bean sprouts or sesame seeds. Ha! Sorry buddy, its what's for dinner.

This was quick and easy to make along with a big pot of rice. I always have to make sure I make lots of rice! I really wish I was able to taste for myself, so I could give you feedback, but you'll just have to trust a kid's food critique. Which, I assure you he has good taste in food!

With the right ingredients you've got a healthy meal...


I try very hard to avoid GMO's (genetically modified organisms), unnecessary preservatives/additives, and over processed foods. So I like sticking with these non-gmo, organic, minimally processed food products. FYI, this honey is the BEST! I order mine from Vitacost.com (best price). Also, found at your local health food store and amazon.

This meal also turned into one of my lifesaving leftovers too...


On night number 2 we had the original meal with some steamed broccoli and corn. Then night number 3 there was still some left but not enough for everyone. So, I cut up onions, garlic, and a half a head of cabbage. Once cooked I added the rest of the rice and honey sesame chicken. Then whalla, dinner is served! Lifesaving Leftovers at its best.

Pork & Pineapple Pizza

 My favorite TV show is Food Network. 
I've gotten so many good ideas, tips, help, & encouragement.
We've never had a TV with cable, but I'm sure grateful that while
we live here at my in-laws condo we have it!

This meal was inspired by a FN Show Sandra's Money Saving Meals.
 She made a pork roast & was using it for all kinds 
of dishes and one of them was pizza....

The kids were hungry and I though HEY! I have a big leftover bowl of  Kula Pork in the fridge
from a church even I went to that our Hawaiian Relief Society Pres. made. I also had a frozen cheese pizza in the fridge, and a Maui Fresh Pineapple was also sitting in the fridge ready to use!

With my little sous chef we spread the pork all over.
Chopped up some onions & pineapple.

 Baked it in 10min.
 Added some fresh cilantro.
And "Cucumber Chips"
Sprinkled w/ S&P love!
(Salt & Pepper)
 



Ohhh, it looked good and they happily enjoyed it!

Starting The Day :)

Being that we live right across from the beach I love to get up before the sun and watch the incredible Hawaiian Sunrises. The morning air is so calm, quiet, and heavenly. It makes me feel that I'm not on this earth. I love soaking my feet in the water, taking long deep breathes, focusing on the positive, being grateful!

Then coming home to stretch, breakfast, and my morning juice makes starting the day off right! I've been on a lime kick because a friend gave us a bag full of fresh limes off of her tree. And they are so so good! It gave the perfect taste to my juice this morning of...2 carrots, 1 celery, small bunch of parsley, 1/2 thumb size of ginger, 1 six inch chunky cucumber, and 1/2 a lime.
