Hellooooo! How you doing baby booboo boo boo? Oh, are we not close enough for me to call you that? That’s fair.
I’m so pumped for this recipe! I have always kind of hated pot roast and I don’t hate this one! It’s so damn easy thanks to the instant pot. And you can add whatever veggies you want to it! I know peas aren’t considered paleo, but I had them from the holidays and I didn’t want them to go to waste! And yes, this can be made in the crockpot if you don’t have an instant pot! I have no idea how long it would have to cook though. Because I didn’t make it in a crockpot. Duh.
So guess what? Just yesterday I got back to town to my little puppy and right now I’m leaving him, heading to the airpot to go to Austin. I’m so pumped to go to Austin because AUSTIN IS THE BEST, but I’m so sad to leave Jackson. He’s just the best and I was already gone for 3 days and now I’ll be gone for 4 and then after a few days back at home, I’ll be gone for 5 more days. Insert painful cry face emoji. But a couples vacation was needed so that’s what we are planning to do! We rented an awesome airbnb, we are going to eat at all my favorite places AND hopefully some new restaurants, listen to some live music, and who knows what else. If you have any recommendations, let me know! We are down to do anything!
Want to see what I’m packing?! No? OK!! My girlfriend and I are planning to get a couple workouts in so I’m bringing plenty of activewear so I have no excuse to skip a workout. And it’s suppose to be in the mid 70’s every single day so lots of jeans and comfy tops!
But what else should we do? Any place we should go? Restaurant we should try? I always use other people’s recommendations, especially since I’ve been to Austin so many times and have tried so many restaurants already! Always looking for something new!

Not sure how paleo it is, but Bonhomie on Burnet Road is amazing. Worth it if you don’t mind regular potatos and stuff like that. ????
This looks delicious, but I don’t have an instapot. Is there a way to modify it for a crockpot?
haha you gotta make sure you read the blog post before you ask a question!!
I will be making this tonight – was already planning on some IP chuck roast meal! We just got back from Austin , our daughter goes to UT. Your freind Kassy from Fed and Fit actually spoke at her sorority last spring:) Some unique standouts in my mind: Salty Sow, Swift Attic, Lamberts. Have fun!

hiya, i didn’t think peas were paleo?
they are not. i just used ingredients that were leftover for thanksgiving, which meant i had peas on hand!
Potatoes are NOT Paleo.
thanks for your feedback, susan. i highly recommend you read up on some articles, there is a ton of information out there for you. this one is especially helpful – https://whole30.com/2014/07/new-whole30/. since i’m incredibly active, i eat way more carbs than someone who is sedentary. if you are not active, you may not need extra carbs like me. hope that article helps!
So delicious! Such a great way to make a chuck roast- huge success at my house! Will make again!
