Meal Planning Monday, October 15th

Hi all!  Sorry that this is going up late, but I was under the weather yesterday.  Last week was a bit of a rough week.  I did not have an opportunity to prepare what I had planned last week, or this weekend, actually.  I do have a few ideas rolling around in my head though for meals for this week.  So far, I have the following thoughts given our change in temperature this week:

 1. Chicken Noodle-less soup.  My plan is to use spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti noodles, but I may make spaghetti noodles for some of my family.   I am thinking the leftovers of this will also make a tasty lunch for a few days as well.

 2. Beans and special cornbread.  A family favorite in our house.  The recipe I use for my cornbread is a variation of my Mom's recipe.  The short version of this recipe is that I use ground beef, a recipe for cornbread from scratch and some cheese.  This is so good that we tend to eat the cornbread by itself.  

 3. Breakfast for dinner.  I will likely make a "Denver omelet" type casserole because I have a ton of bell pepper leftover from last week.

 4. Bacon Lettuce Tomato sandwiches.

 5. Spaghetti and Marinara.  I will need to make the Zero Point Marinara that we enjoy.  I may pull out some of the chicken meatballs that I have in the freezer.

 6.  I am thinking either a variation on a Mexican lasagna or bean burritos for another meal.  

 I was going to try a beef and broccoli recipe, but I am having difficulty finding everything I need for it, so I may wait a little longer on that one.  I also may make a batch of the creamy cauliflower potato soup that I posted the recipe for on October 3, 2018.  It just seems more and more like we're actually getting some cooler weather this year.  

 I had a gain of 0.6 on Saturday when I weighed in.  Again, I'm not going to beat myself up for it.  I just need to focus on trying to get my steps in, along with my water and getting my blue dot each day.  NSV for this week though, while I need to lose some more weight in my stomach, I did fit into (it buttons and zips) into a skirt that I couldn't fit into just a few weeks ago.

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.

Meal Plan (and make a plan) Monday, April 27, 2025

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you are looking forward to a good week!  It's time again to share my meal plan for the week.  I suspect breakfasts will be fend for ourselves.  Last week, I think we all ate a lot of cereal.  Lunches this week will likely be chicken salad and a pasta meal.  I, unfortunately, got hit with a round of vertigo at the end of last week that is wrecking havoc on my ability to move too much and it stinks.  I will be going back to what the allergy doctor suggested a couple of years ago...using my daily oral meds (Xyzal and Mucinex), as well as nasal rinse twice a day and nasal allergy spray.  While I know that vertigo for everyone isn't caused by the fluid in the ears, it seems to be for me most times when I've had it.  It's miserable when I can't even sit up without feeling nauseous. Anyway, for that reason, our meals for the week are going to be relatively easy and may even be repeats of meals I have had on the plan th...
