Friend Making Monday...a day early

1) What is one of your favorite ways to spend a Saturday? We spend our Saturdays planning meals and shopping for them. Beginning next weekend, the local Farmer's Market will be open every other weekend and I'm excited to go for the first time!

2) List your top three favorite TV shows. It's hard to narrow it down to 3, but I enjoy watching Biggest Loser, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.

3) Would you rather be in pictures or take them? Though I’m not crazy about the way I look, I love to be in pictures.

4) Why do you blog? I started blogging because I wanted to hold myself accountable and remember where I started, but now my blog is a part of me. If someone said to me “You can’t blog anymore” I think I’d fall apart. I love to encourage and be encouraged.

5) Share five websites that you visit regularly…

~ weightwatchers.com

~ twitter

~ sparkpeople.com

~ pinterest

~ A few different news sites.

6) If you could have lunch with one person from your Twitter list who would it be? If I had to choose one, I’d choose either @alltheweigh, @TheBLblog or @HealthyLoserGal.

7) List a few of your favorite snacks. String cheese and apples; Celery and peanut butter; carrots and hummus.

8 ) Do you have a pet? If so, what kind? I have 2 dogs. A mutt, she's a schnauzer/terrier mix and a Bischon Frise.

9) Which three material possessions would you struggle to live without? Droid, ipod, computer, Kindle Fire and sneakers

10) What’s your favorite drink? Water...if I need a change of pace, I like the True Lemon in my water.

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe. I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years. My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods. So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie. It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese. I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years. You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much. I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!

S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe here from Six Sisters' Stuff. The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings. I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so. There were a couple that were smaller.
