For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
It’s Week #10 in the weekly grocery challenge and here’s what we ate this week with a $100 food budget and $20 dining out …
BTW – if anyone is curious this is what I sound like when I wake in the morning. Who knew I had to warm up my vocal chords before recording? Just want you to know I'm not sick, just… normal!
You did great with your grocery budget! The copycat recipes look so good!💜
Add the cheese!!! 🧀 😂
I currently eat like a collage student cheap cheap and fast meals. 🤦🏼♀️ this app might help. Haha. I need a smaller instant pot. My pot is 16 quarts. I cook the Holiday turkey in it.
Great job Liz! I can’t tell if that T-shirt comment was made in good fun or not 🤔 you give me motivation to go down to $100! 🎉
The Starbucks sous vide bites 🤤 You won’t see them on my spending tracker but I got them basically everyday of my vacation 😂 And seriously Liz – I’m so impressed with your videos, you have quickly become one of the channels I immediately watch as soon as I see you’ve posted – the quality is so impressive and I genuinely laugh out loud with your “bloopers” at the end 😂
That salad looks great! I think I'll give it a go this week.
Hi Liz,
I think copycat week is a great idea!!! I never thought of that. I will be trying some of your ideas.
Oh my goodness I forgot about Ask Jeeves😂 That was my favorite search engine back in the day😂 Is Jeeves still alive??????
All the recipes look delicious!! Omg ask jeeves… I remember that!!
👋🏽 nice dishes for the week!! The chicken lettuce wraps looks good 🤌🏾
Those are some good recipes!! I had a fail baking a sugar free carrot cake last week… but the more it sat the better it got. I know what I did wrong and next time it's going to be better.
Great job! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Liz! I went for the sandwiches at Panera when I did eat out "somewhat" often in the olden days! 🤣Going to look up that cookie place in NY!!! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting video I appreciated the transparency and the recipes seemed nice I need to try more recipes I'm guilty I cook the same 7 meals at home 🙃
Hey there! OMG Im going to need to take a page from your $100 food budget challenge. We are 4 so I aim for $200 and Im never there. I need to make it a priority!
Lizzz! You are absolutely amazing! 🤗💕 I just love these videos, everything looked sooo delicious 😋🥰
ok, so the cookies didn't work out…but how was the dough? if that tasted good, then that's a WIN baby!
I love the bacon egg bites from stb too! But yes they’re sooo $$$ gonna have to try this copy cat recipe.
Another week killing your grocery budget! Good job 💪🏻
“Soggy & moist bleeehh 🤮😫” lol was my favorite part❤
Here! Listening while making coffee! 🍁
I WAS just talking about the Panera broccoli and cheese soup. I used to get it everyday when I worked in the office 🙊
I've been waiting for this one!
Another crowd favorite here at the house or KFC bowls! Popcorn chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and gravy all together in one bowl topped with a little bit of cheese OMG my kids love it
I am so super proud of you! Girl do you know the price you would pay if you had to go out and eat all that food at those restaurants! It’s what I tell everybody restaurants are no different than the kitchens in your house with the exception of they have bigger kitchens a lot more food storage and a big rent to pay! Definitely making copycat meals at home saves you a ton of money but then you don’t have to sacrifice eating the food if you make it from home cause it’s a heck of a lot cheaper to purchase the food items and ingredients and make them come home! I am absolutely loving these menu ideas! We do chipotle at home, even though I only live 3/4 of a mile from one, you’ll never catch me at chipotle I won’t pay their price, not nine dollars for a burrito bowl when I can make it at home for less than two dollars! We do a lot of Taco Bell and a lot of subway type meals at home not to mention also sonic and Wendy’s at home! The best thing is look all these restaurants up and your food apps look at the ingredients that are in those foods and re-create them at home and save that money! Again I am super Duper proud of you you scored big I’m doing copycat meals at home this week
Hey Liz!
I love my insta pot girl lol easy to use and easy to just put it in my dishwasher 😂😂
I agree! We can all learn from mistakes, whether our own or others. . .Your weekly grocery spending is amazing to me. I can’t imagine spending only $100/week nowadays. Great job!!
Monday night is my favorite, It looked super delicious maybe because i love rice. All the meals are delicious 😋
I love those egg bites too! I’ve always wanted to make them, but I’m just too lazy period.🤦🏾♀️
Good Morning! 🌞 I’m actually about use my crockpot to cook chili. I’ll bake some cornbread later, right before dinner time. Your soup looks delicious.
I want that salad!
Stop you did Lettuce Wraps!
Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work on budgeting
I love instant pot/slowcooker meals so I am glad that curry turned out nice. Chicken thighs taste much better since they have that bone still inside than the breasts in my opinion. Water chestnuts have a weird apple or unripe mango texture to me, I stay away from the stir fry mixes that have it. We have Panera here in Romania as well, it's called Panemar over here. Pickled onions are awesome, you should try pickled radishes, cucumbers and carrots, I make them for banh mi sandwiches and they are tart and delicious. Btw I just remembered that this weekend apart from fruit picking, I also split cannellini and pinto beans and my fingernails still hurt from the process.
The salad is making my mouth water 🤤
Logan LOVES the Panera bread broccoli cheddar soup!
Why not use the instant pot when you can?! The chicken Marsala did look so good and comforting!
I have never tried these Starbucks egg bites, but you make them sound so good!
Ask Jeeves! I remember that! You did a great job with your copycat recipes!!! There is a prize for adding the comment to merch! 😂 Love that you paused for our discord chats!!! 😂
I love my Instant Pot, too, although I don’t use it very often. I need to find some plant-based meals I can make in it.
First!! 💜💨
