Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe Keto + Paleo

Runny noses are running, cabin fever is burning… which means spring is like, almost, so close to pretty much being here!

:: Muppet’s Treasure Island… anyone?!::

We are cycling through our (hopefully) last bouts of colds, coughs and runny noses, and we all (especially Warner) have a nice case of cabin fever. The weather isn’t helping, with super nice days, windy days with lots of deceptive sun, then snow, then ice, then sun, then dreary. Sheesh.

Though it isn’t all coughs and ice slushies; my seeds and potting soil are purchased, and I’m slowing storing away the warmest of our warm clothes (see you next year, snow pants and insulated coveralls!). Warner was gifted a huge expansion pack of Picasso Tiles for his birthday, so he’s been busy making all sorts of worlds, garages, and sometimes using them as skis around the house 😀 Wren has been busy too, cutting teeth and knocking down said Picasso Tile masterpieces. We’ve been getting out a little bit, but I’m really looking forward to warm sunny days, when our house isn’t a total mud-sicle.

To combat some of the (toddler) cabin fever, I’ve been diffusing my new favorite oil blend:

Calming the Child Organic KidSafe Essential Oil

I love Plant Therapy so much- they are the only brand of essential oils I use. They have an entire line specifically safe to be used with kids. I usually purchase the Pre-Diluted Roll-Ons. These rollers are already diluted to the proper ratio in a carrier oil, so I don’t have to worry if I’ve got the right mix or carrier oil. So easy! I’ll be stocking up on more soon, especially the bug and cut related ones. I’ll keep you all posted on what we think of them!

Simple meal planning has also been a must, we are eating basically the same meal, every week.

This is one dish we love so much that it made the weekly rotation (Tuesdays, to be exact!). Typically, Mississippi Roast calls for a packet of ranch seasoning, but you can easily make your own ranch seasoning (and avoid unwanted ingredients like MSG and soy!). It is really easy to make your own paleo ranch dressing, the only hard part is tracking down all the spices. (If you don’t have them all right now… make the roast anyway. It will turn out just fine!)

Make your own paleo ranch seasoning:

A couple notes before you get started:

This recipe is made in the Instant Pot. If you don’t yet own one of these magical appliances, you can check out this post to help you find the right one.

Or, read 20,000+ 5 star reviews of the Instant Pot on Amazon (seriously! to find out what the hype is all about!

I highly recommend investing a couple bucks into a flat wood spoon. It is perfect for scraping bits off the bottom of the pan! Almost all meat will require that you sear it before actually cooking, so you will use a flat spoon a lot. I’ve found that silicon just isn’t quite strong enough, and metal can / will scratch the bottom of the pot.

As I mentioned, you can find one an inexpensive one here: Flat Wooden Spatula
