I will definitely be making this again... and again... and again! This one turned out SO delicious and was relatively easy to throw together. I used just over 5 lbs of beef, 3 Tbsp of olive oil, 2 granny smith apples, and juice from 2 medium oranges (which equaled 1/2 C). Besides those ingredient adjustments though, which were just to accommodate for the increase in beef, I made the recipe below as-is. When the beef was done pressure cooking, I set the Instant Pot to saute mode to reduce the sauce some, and stirred around frequently. Once the sauce was down to a more desirable level, I let the beef cool before measuring and distributing over top of plain cauliflower rice. Since there was plenty of flavor and sauce with this beef, I really don't think you need to worry about cooking up the cauliflower rice any special way. I personally grabbed some frozen plain cauliflower rice and heated it up to make for an even quicker meal prep. I love a recipe that can be done in one pot/pan, doesn't have a ton of ingredients or prep to it, and of course turns out tasting amazing. This recipe is all of that and more!

I haven't seen a recipe that made chicken thighs in the Instant Pot this way, so I was excited to give it a try! I doubled the ingredients below for meal prep purposes and used a combination of cinnamon and ground cloves as an allspice substitute. However, that substitute stood out to me some while eating the chicken, so I would recommend just omitting if you don't have allspice. Some other notes I had were that I definitely didn't brown the thighs enough because they still came out falling apart. Also, my chicken turned out on the dry side, which is unheard of for an Instant Pot meal. I either cooked the chicken for too long (I increased to 25 minutes) or it's because the chicken is not really cooked in the liquid. Not sure what did me in, but I don't think I can give this recipe a fair assessment since I had a couple goofs. It was still pretty quick and simple for a meal prep recipe though, and I did still enjoy eating it all week long. Let me know if you give this one a try and what you think!

Original recipe found here These turned out amazing and did not have an overwhelming orange taste to them whatsoever! My biggest note on this is the same note I have on all meatball recipes: bulk prepping meatballs is never a quick task. However, I tripled the meat and sauce on this one, so if you are not doing that then this could obviously be prepped much faster. Don't let that tip dissuade you from trying this delicious recipe though! This meal really did turn out SO tasty. I ended up using ground turkey instead of chicken, and then heated up some coconut oil and garlic to toss the cauliflower rice in before serving. If you are newer to the blog, I am a big fan of grabbing the frozen cauliflower rice and quickly heating that up to pair with most meals. Just make sure to check the ingredients label to make sure it only has vegetables listed! Those packaged foods can sneak in plenty of extra preservatives, sugars, and ingredients you don't need to be consuming. You can even find cauliflower rice mixes with other riced veggies as well if you aren't a big cauliflower fan. I really like this Riced Veggies Cauliflower & Sweet Potato one. Throw in some rice if you need more substantial carbs and you've got yourself a nutritious and delicious meal you can enjoy all week long!
AIP Orange Teriyaki Meatballs Ingredients: Meatballs
Original recipe found here Anyone else find it strange to read 'Lime Teriyaki', instead of 'Teriyaki Lime'? I had that similar feeling when tasting this chicken for the first time too. The first couple bites were different; I've never tasted these flavor combinations together, or anything similar to it before. The more I ate it though the more I stopped being skeptical and realized I actually enjoyed it. Probably not the best way to describe a meal you enjoyed, but that is my honest review. I thought it paired pretty well with roasted sweet potatoes, but then again I kept asking myself all week if it would pair better with a rice/cauliflower rice combination. The hint of lime is definitely there and throws you off (or threw me off for sure). I almost wonder if it would pair well with roasted plantains or plantain chips. Either way, you can make this recipe in either the slow cooker or Instant Pot. I chose the Instant Pot this time around and doubled the ingredients to make enough food for meal prep. I also skipped out on the arrowroot starch and just put the Instant Pot on 'saute' mode to help thicken the sauce. If you are using the slow cooker option and don't have arrowroot starch, you can bring the extra sauce to a boil on the stove top to help thicken/reduce some. I know I say it after many of my posts, but if you try this one out please let me know what you think! This one obviously left me with quite the first impression, so I'd love to hear what others think.
