Thursday, May 29th Weigh in Update

Yesterday was a bit crazy. My mother has been running a fever but we don’t yet know why. Hopefully we will find out today. She called me this morning and seems to be feeling better. DD12 had her talent show last night. We are gearing up for her last week of elementary school. DS14 is finishing out middle school next week as well. You would think this would not be so emotional for me since I already have one that has graduated, but it totally is emotional for me.

Getting to my weigh in, I maintained this week. Considering I went a little crazy a couple of times with pizza, etc. over the holiday weekend. I do feel better going into the week because I have an idea of what to cook and when I can get meals cooked in advance. I am trying to prepare my meal plan up to a week and a half out so that I can’t really make excuses. Goals for this week: Preparing at least 2 meals in advance and tracking EVERYTHING.

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!

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it. We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles. The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic. My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were: Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge. Why? Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming. Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
