I ALMOST titled this post “New Year Health Launch”, but the idea that you need a new year to start living your healthiest life is a lie some of us tell ourselves. For some reason we think we need a new year, new month, new week, or everyone’s favorite trap, “I’ll start on Monday”. There’s never been a better day… Read More

Give this post a ❤️ if you need a simple, clean dinner recipe!
Last night I realized I never took the chicken out to thaw for my Instant Pot chicken and rice. 🤦♀️. BUT I was able to figure out a way to give my kids a KILLER dinner anyway.
I’ll never thaw my chicken again! 😜
4 cups chicken broth into instant pot.
Put in trivet. Dump bag of frozen boneless skinless chicken thighs on top of trivet (mind came out of the deep freezer and we’re literal blocks of frozen chicken).
High pressure for 15 minutes and release pressure manually.
Scoot chicken over and add 2 cups uncooked rice rice to bottom of the pot.
Add in whatever seasonings you like. I used adobo, garlic powder and hamburger seasoning (why not?)
Stir around and make sure you get some on the chicken. Replace lid and cook for 15 more minutes. Release pressure. Lightly shred chicken. I prefer mine in larger chunks.
I served it with frozen peas because my kids gobble them up. BUT you could also add in frozen peas, carrots or other veggies when you add in the rice.
The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was creamy and perfectly cooked. I used organic basmati rice.
Dinner is SERVED!

This is breakfast. Trying to balance my blood sugar as part of the healing my adrenals need to do. I’ll admit it. I’m NOT a foodie. I could never eat again and be just fine. There are days when food just irritates me, and so I might not eat balanced macros. Or I might not eat at the correct time to stop a blood sugar crash. Or I might not eat enough.
But. After getting some recent test results back that showed adrenal dysfunction and hormone imbalance, I decided it was time to stop acting like a toddler and start healing my body with food. It’s not just WHAT you eat that matters, but also HOW MUCH and WHEN.
I love the ideas behind intermittent fasting and once my adrenals are healed and my hormones are back in balance, I’ll probably experiment with that.
For now though, I eat to heal the dysfunction in my body. I still find food irritating, 🤷♀️ but I also know it is part of the medicine I need to bring my body back into balance.
My healing protocol starts now. There are other major parts to my DRESS for health success program that are equally important, but those are for another post.
