Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Bisquick

• 1 1/3 cup milk (or water)

• 2 T vegetable oil

• 1 egg

Optional add ins:

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 T brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

• Mix all ingredients together

• Pour batter in a waffle maker with a measuring cup (I used 1 cup)

• If freezing waffles, let cool completely. Transfer and store them in a freezer safe container or ziplock bags

• To reheat, microwave or toast in toaster

• Eat as-is or transform it into El’s Eggo extravaganza with your favorite toppings (strawberries, syrup, whipped cream, etc) and enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 c uncooked rice

• 2-3 chicken breasts

• 20 oz pineapple chucks + juice

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 2 tsp minced garlic

• 2-3 T Kroger spaghetti sauce seasoning mix (or equivalent)

• 2-3 T brown sugar

• 1 pkg Canadian bacon

• 1 T cornstarch (opt)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Cook 2 cups of rice with salt and 1 tsp sauce mix or Italian seasoning. I made mine in my instant pot (cook 4 minutes and naturally release for 11)

2. Next, place chicken, pineapple, tomatoes, garlic, remaining sauce mix and brown sugar in your instant pot.

3. Do NOT mix! Cook for 25 mins if chicken is frozen (20 mins if defrosted)

4. Optional: make a 1:1 ratio of cornstarch to water and add to sauce to thicken

5. Shred the chicken and return to the sauce

6. Portion into 4 containers and top with sliced Canadian bacon or any of your favorite toppings sliced olives, bell peppers, red onions, etc.)

7. Let the food cool completely without lids before storing in the fridge. Enjoy!

Notes:

• To avoid using cornstarch, replace the canned diced tomatoes with 1-2 fresh tomatoes

• If you can’t find the sauce mix, it will be a bit bland. Replace with half a cup of pasta sauce or a mix of Italian seasoning and a half cup of BBQ sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 onion

• 1-2 tsp minced garlic

• ½ lb sausage

• 2 T Kroger’s spaghetti sauce seasoning mix (or equivalent)

• 2 1/2 c chicken broth

• 24 oz pasta sauce

• 8-10 lasagna noodles

• 1 1/2 c shredded mozzarella

• Parmesan (opt)

• Cottage cheese or ricotta (opt)

• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

First, I added onions, garlic and sausage into my Instant Pot and cooked it with the sautee feature until the meat was brown. I then added Kroger’s spaghetti sauce mix, chicken broth, pasta sauce and the lasagna noodles broken into 2 inch pieces and let it all pressure cook for 4 minutes. Don’t forget to keep the pressure valve on the "sealing" mode! Once it was finished cooking, I mixed in half of the mozzarella and topped the individual portions with the rest of the mozzarella and the parmesan. Serve as-is or put it on top of cottage cheese or ricotta. Enjoy!
