You guys! I’m pretty sure I haven’t shared my exciting news with you that I’ve been keeping a secret for like MONTHS! Ok, so it’s exciting for me at least, maybe not you! The story starts over this past year. Let’s just say I’ve been STRESSED to the max. Full time job, two kids and now three kids at home, a husband, a blog, life….you get the picture. I was BUSY. Real busy. And a little stressed… ok a LOT stressed.
I’d become a not very nice person to be around. I was cranky with the hubs, short with the kiddos and generally not real happy about anything. That could have been half blamed on the pregnancy not going to lie, but the other part was I was working ALL.THE.TIME. I’d get done at my regular job, come home do the dinner and kids thing, then rush them off to bed and sit at the computer for 1-2 hours every night. On the weekends I’d be making recipes, filming videos, scheduling pins, scheduling Facebook and shoving my kids out the door. It was not fun. I LOVE this blog but, well, something had to give.
Let’s just say as much as I want to be superwoman I’ve learned I’m not. I tried to figure out how to add about 10 hours to a day and that didn’t happen either. I was at a crossroads on what to do. Step back from the job? Step back from the blog? Continue to be stressed? Sell my children?
Ok, I’m kidding. The latter one was not an option! But, in all seriousness I had to do something. The hubs kept telling me. I finally listened.
Actually, what I did was pray and pray hard. I asked my Mom to pray, I asked the hubs to pray. I needed some guidance. Well, I more or less needed the good Lord to just pave the route out in a yellow brick road because I’m not real good at letting go and trusting. And pave the way did He!
I kept going back and forth on just quitting my full-time job completely, but I didn’t want to. I love my job, I love the people I work with and I wasn’t ready to let go of that. Unfortunately, we don’t exactly have “part-time” positions where I work. What to do? Plus, if I quit my job then the kids stay home and that’s a full-time job there so I felt like I wouldn’t be accomplishing much. I’d be taking care of them and still blogging on the nights and weekends.
Then in December at an employee meeting my General Manager announced they were hiring a few part-time positions. Say what? Part-Time? My head was spinning. This was my answer. I had to have faith that this was it. I don’t think I listened to much after that as I zoned out. After the meeting I quickly rushed into his office and announced that I wanted to go part-time if it was an option. I literally thought he was going to fall over as he stood there looking at me like I was nuts. Whoops!
He graciously said, Ok but asked me to think about it before they did anything for sure. I said sure I’ll do that. I went back and forth, it was a hard decision. I wanted to do it all. I can’t do it all. I had to come to terms with that. I was letting go of a lot of security if I went part-time. Mainly the benefits that my job offered, but my hubs now has a job that has great benefits to and we were doing that so I could possibly go part-time or quit my job. I had to remember that. Remember? The Lord literally placed everything I asked for in my prayers in front of me! The hubs got a new job with benefits, we had a part-time position, the blog was doing great…. paved the way! It was like He kept handing me a sign and going DO IT!!!
There was a lot of things I had to remember and have a little faith in. As I went on maternity leave we just left things hanging at work. They hoped post pregnancy would clear my head and I’d become super woman and come back full-time. Unfortunately, I emailed them and asked them to make it official a week ago.
I’M GOING PART TIME AT WORK!!!! WAHOOO!
I’m still nervous, I’m still anxious but I’m so excited!! I will work about 2 1/2 days a week and the rest of the time I will focus on my blog during the day. I might lay on the couch at night and watch crap television, or maybe on the weekends I’ll be able to hang out with my kids and husband! I mean, that’s the point of having them, right? Plus, as the kids get older everyone keeps telling me life gets BUSIER and I don’t have time for busier, but now I do! Maybe…
So keep reading, keep pinning, keep making my recipes so I know I did the right thing… ok? Thanks for making my dreams come true!!

Kacie Nicholson Had the same problem, our solution was after sauteing the meat we deglaze the bottom of the pan then take it out of the cooker and let everything cool down (so you can touch the pan with your bare hand). Then put it back in the cooker and start the pressure cooking. The saute setting on your gets the pot so hot that it instantly would go to BURN. Hope this works for you.
hello!
would you be able to make this without cream of mushroom? my bf hates mushrooms. is there a substitute?
thank you!
My husband doesn’t like anything mushroom. I just use cream of chicken.
You could do cream of chicken or I think some people have did a cream of onion?
I use cream of celery because I don’t like mushrooms, and it’s great!
I use cream of chicken, and add a couple of teaspoons of kitchen bouquet for color and richer flavor.
I really liked it. I added some mushrooms. I would probably decrease the amount of cooking time to 6 mins, my noodles were a little over cooked.
I recently purchased an instant pot. Best purchase EVER! I’m glad I found this recipe. I LOVE it! It’s simple & delicious. I’m a beef girl so next time I may throw in a pound & a half. I some people tried cream of chicken & cream of celery…I may give those a try!
Easy and fast. Family enjoyed it too- That’s what really matters
YAY for everyone liking it!
Raising my grandkids is busy enough. Kudos to you and all of the moms (and dad’s) doing it all. The IP is a well used appliance in this household.
I love the recipes you share. They’re kid friendly and the aults like them, too.
🥦🥦🥦
Glad you enjoy them!
I don’t have an insta pot but have an electric pressure cooker. Can this still be used the same way?
Yes I think you can! Instant Pot is just a brand of electric pressure cooker as far as I know!
Julie, I tried your hamburger stroganoff & I love it. I made a few changes as I only have a 2.5 at pot. I used 1/2 lb hamburger & 1 can mushroom soup. My husband doesn’t like garlic so I left that out. I added 1/2 onion & about 1 cup of mushrooms, & a bouillon cube. You have other recipes that I would like to try but they are too much for my pot. Could you do some recipes for the 2.5 at pot? I would really love it.
So glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, the masses have the large IP so I usually go with a larger amount.
Has anyone doubled this recipe? How long would I cook? I have three teenage boys…need to double! Thanks!
I would like to double too. I want to have some more leftovers. This was so good!!!
Thanks for this recipe! It is super simple and delicious. It has become a family favorite.
I’m so glad you enjoy it! Seems to be a popular one!
This was excellent and so easy. I’m on Weight Watchers so I made some adjustments to reduce the points. Thanks for such an easy, delicious recipe.
Love that you could make it work with your WW! Can I ask what adjustments you made? Thanks Sue!
Great recipe. If you hate mushrooms like me, I omitted the minced onion and replaced the mushroom soup with cream of onion soup.
Great ways to change it up!
if you are doubling the recipe do you have to add cook time?
No you don’t.
If I want to cook noodles separately how much liquid should I use
At that point I think it’d be easier to just make the stove top version – https://www.julieseatsandtreats.com/hamburger-stroganoff/
My husband and I absolutely love this recipe! I am new to the IP world & this came out perfect! Ty very much!!!
Welcome to the IP world 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
This is an often requested recipe now at my house. It is very simple to make and everyone enjoys it. I reduce the cooking time by a couple of minutes but that is the only change I have made. Thank you for sharing!
So glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for leaving a comment 🙂
I made this tonight and it turned out so good! My family loved it, so I will definitely be making it again. Doubling next time for leftovers. : )
So glad you enjoyed it! I just made it this week also 🙂
I’m planning on making this tonight, and I’m adding frozen peas because there’s no veggies in it!!. Just got a pressure cooker on Monday!! (I got the foodi). I’m planning to use the cream of celery soup too, as I hate mushrooms (it’s a texture thing).
Great ways to change it up! Enjoy!
