Wake Up Wednesday, August 5th

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I did not work out and feel like I should have, but my back was really out of line. After my chiropractic visit, I got a bit of a headache and my legs were going numb. This, for me, is a sure sign I waited too long to see him for an adjustment. I am trying to listen to my body and feed myself healthy food. I think I may need to plan for 2 snacks in the afternoon because I hit the peanut butter filled pretzel yesterday afternoon. So today I planned better with extra snacks so I'm not munching on peanut butter pretzels again. While my Back to Basics challenge seems quite easy to accomplish, it is spurring me to make better food choices. Here's hoping that my meal planning/prepping will go better this week. Can't beat myself up but taking things one step at a time. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

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 ...
