Let's Talk Tuesday, October 30th

Happy Tuesday friends!  I hope everyone is having a great day!  28 years ago today, I was preparing to give birth to my 6 lb 14 oz baby boy.  Happy, happy birthday, Jarrod!  I can't believe it's been 28 years already!  I love you very much!

 Okay, we're going to get really transparent right now.  I had a really bad food day on Sunday.  Well, Saturday wasn't a great food day either.  Monday was the anniversary of my mother's passing.  It is not easy to lose someone so special in your life, but we are not promised tomorrow.  I am blessed that I had such a wonderful relationship with my Mom.  The thing that is different about this time around is that I know that I am not going to be perfect everyday for the rest of my life.  I am more accepting of myself and my imperfections. I know every weigh in is not going to be down, even though that is my goal.  I'm finding ways to cook for my family and myself without going crazy.  When you are having an emotional day or couple of days, how do you handle it?  Any tips and tricks that work for you would be helpful to hear.  

 I'm definitely trying to make better strides.  Tonight, even though I was tired, I popped in a DVD and did a 30 minute walking workout.  Progress over perfection, right? Have a wonder Tuesday!

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

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 ...
