Wednesday Slice

Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

This easy Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe, made with beef brisket, cabbage and carrots comes out so tender and delicious! Perfect for St Patrick’s Day!

It may be the most famous dish to eat on St. Patrick’s Day, but this Irish-American corned beef recipe is a favorite in my house any time of the year. It would typically simmer all day on the stove but thanks to the pressure cooker it only takes 90 minutes for the meat to come out super tender. Of course, if you wish you could also make this in the slow cooker, see my Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe.

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (February 25-March 3)

A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.

Fish Florentine has been such a huge hit, I added it back on this weeks meal plan!

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!

Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

This quick and easy soup is the perfect one-pot meal, and a tasty way to enjoy kale, which is high in vitamins K, A and C with both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Tuesday Slice

1. Spicy margaritas need to be a thing for all weekend brunches. Honestly, I never really thought to try a margarita at brunch, but when they are bottomless, you kinda just go for it. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw the massive amount of deliciousness a couple weeks ago at Tamayo for their new Bottomless Brunch.

It’s one of my new favorite spots to recommend for brunch, in addition to Revelry Kitchen, T Street Roadhouse, and Sams No. 3. Tell me  your favorite brunch spots, even if they aren’t in Denver! I’m heading to Vegas, Chicago, and Estes Park this year for sure, so any in those areas are extra welcome! 😉 

2. I never really think about lighting my bookshelves but after reading through these lighting ideas, I have obviously been doing it wrong. I am in love with all of these ideas, and I’m about ready to buy yet another bookcase… Someone please come drag be away from my computer… HALP.

3. Song of the Week is Cold War by Cautious Clay. This is the new song I love for travel. Especially when I’m flying high in an airplane and watching the world go by. It’s more of a chill vibe, and a little different from what I normally share on my Wednesday Slice roundup. I’m in a mood. Just go with it.  (more…)
