Work for It Wednesday, December 30th

As I sit here eating my snack of carrots and hummus, I have been thinking a lot about how to make 2016 my year to hit goal.  Not just to say it, but to find a way to make it happen.  To that end, I have listening to some audiobooks about being happier at home and being better than before.  It has given me some insights into things that I hadn’t realized before.  My hope is that I can use these things to my advantage.  Some of these new things I think I had already begun realizing but to be able to put it together is definitely helping me know what I need to do to hit goal for the coming year. 

Here are a few things I have learned for sure:

  • Meal Planning/Meal Prepping helps me stay on plan.
  • Tracking helps me stay aware of what I’m eating or how I am working out.
  • I tend to do better with a weight loss buddy or workout buddy.
  • I do better with in a structured environment.


There is still much I know I need to learn and do to make sure I hit my goal.  Tonight, I will go weigh in, but I am anticipating that I will have a gain since I’m wearing heavier clothes because we are having colder weather and the fact that I went a bit off the rail with Christmas and not being structured.  I am just taking things one day at a time.  Happy 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!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Picnic in the Park Collab

 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.
