Instant Pot Sausage and Peppers

Ok, so peppers, onions, and tomatoes are not the lowest carb count. I Know! I KNOW!  I think I actually stay under 10 carbs- but it is so hard to count it out exactly in this meal. I make this for my family who are not keto, so its easy to just take the parts that fit for me and serve the rest to my family with pasta.

My advise is to make sure you buy sausage and marinara with the lowest carb count possible. This way you can eat as much sausage as you desire, and just a bit of the rest for flavoring.
When you cook this in the Instant Pot you infuse the sausage with all the flavors- so you can enjoy this meal and not really even do much sauce. Serve it with a big green salad with a no carb dressing and you are golden!

  

Instant Pot Sausage and Peppers
2 onions
3 bell peppers, any colors
2 pounds Italian sausage links- I use Hot but any kind you like
1 tsp garlic powder
1 jar no sugar added marinara ( I like trader joes brand)

-----my recommendation is to make sure you get very low carb marinara and no carbs in your sausuage, then eat mostly sausage and bit of veggie. ------

( I make this for my whole family, only me being keto, so this works for me)

1. Set Instant pot to saute and add 1 tbsp cooking oil ( I use avocado oil here)
2. Add sausages, brown on each side.
3. Add all veggies and seasoning.
4. Pour on jar of marinara. Next, fill the empty jar 1/4 way with water and shake it up to get all the good sauce off the sides. Add this to the instant pot. Press food down so mostly all covered with sauce.
5. Set Instant Pot to Manual 20 min. Make sure knob on top in non-venting. Now just let it go. I generally let it go till depressurized fully. If you are in a hurry you could vent it after its cooked the 20 min probably.

ENJOY!

- KETO PEEPS can do over zoodles, or serve with cauliflower garlic bread. If you wanna get fancy you could make fathead hoagies even.

 (If you aren't low carb serve in hoagies or with pasta)

Nutrition--
this is going to vary based on marinara sauces and exact sausages you get.
Onions and peppers are a bit carby, as well as marinara so this is a meal that you will need to make sure fits in your macros of the day. As I made it today my serving will have 15 carbs I believe and around 300 caloires. I plan to just take a very small bit of sauce and mostly eat the sausages and a small bit of the veggies. I will let my family eat the remaining,

The Nitty Gritty That is Fibro

Today I may or may not have the flu. How would you not know, right? Well, if you have Fibromyalgia, every day feels like a variation of the Flu. So if I ever do get sick, like an acute Sickness, well I never know if it is yet another symptom, or a just a bad Fibro day. So it got me thinking...With the flu so rampantly going around, maybe now is a good time to try and explain my everyday, my Fibro. I know so many who love me, or who know me and have me on your prayer chain, well you aren’t really sure what exactly it is.
