Happy fall ya’ll!!!! Ok not really. It’s still blazing hot in my neck of the country, but we might as well just call it fall. My kids started back to school this past week, softball practices have started, soccer begins next week, and I am craving a warm cuppa tea, chilly mornings, and some fall leaves!!

You know what else is making my life Fall-ish right now?? My meal planning. Looking at my busy schedule the next couple of weeks, this mama has very little time to come up with extravagant meals that are time consuming. 20 minutes you guys, it’s all I got.

This is where these handy dandy Instant Pot meals are my jam. With the many different Instant Pot meals I make, this one is now going in the permanent REPEAT rotation! Flavorful Thai Beef that is zesty without being spicy (perfect for kiddos).

These are kind of like those delicious lettuce wraps you buy at your favorite chain restaurants, only this one is even tastier and sooooo much more nutritious! Packed with plenty of veggies, a very flavorful sauce, and a nutritional boost from Vital Proteins Beef Bone Broth Collagen! This nutritional boost of collagen protein  helps keep our hair, skin, nails, bones, ligaments, and tendons healthy. As we age, collagen production in the body decreases, effecting the health of our bones, ligaments, and joints. Even more of a reason to add a scoop of collagen protein to your daily regimen!

Vital Proteins Beef Bone Broth Collagen also contains a unique blend of naturally occurring amino acids that provide a strong line of defense for your gut. Currently on day 5 of another round of Whole30, and Vital Proteins is a staple in my pantry! I’ve been enjoying a cup with my evening herbal tea for a nutritional boost.

These quick and easy Lettuce Wraps should also be a part of your dinner rotation! Look at how easy they are to make!
