Meal Planning Monday, November 12th

Happy Monday friends!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Here we are again for another week of meals.  I am really enjoying sharing these each week.  

I'm going to start with telling you how my week went last week.  I planned this:


  • Beef and Broccoli served with rice for my family and cauliflower rice for me.
  • Chicken Pot Pie.
  • Mexican Casserole or Bean and cheese taquitos, but I haven't decided yet.
  • Chicken Burgers with Root Veggies in the air fryer.
  • Homemade hamburger helper made with turkey.
What we actually had was as follows:
  • Chicken Pot Pie  (I got this recipe years ago off halfmysize.com, which is no more)
  • Red Lobster
  • Subway
  • Mexican Bubble Up Casserole (I searched on Pinterest and created my own)
  • Milton Roasted Vegetable Pizza on Cauliflower Crust.
This week, my plan is to have some egg muffins again, a Denver Omelet inspired egg muffins along with preparing some overnight oats for breakfast.  

For lunch, I have a salad mix and also have some soup in the freezer that I can use for lunches.

My plan for dinners this week include:
  • Beef and Broccoli with cauliflower rice for me
  • Mexican Casserole with Mini Tortillas.
  • Chicken Burgers with root veggies.
  • Pizza Bubble Up casserole.
  • Beans and Cornbread.
  • Cheeseburger and Tot casserole.
There is a real possibility that some of this will change because I have some meat in my freezer I need to make a point to use up.  My goal is to create my lists of what is in my freezer and pantry and to create meals with what's there.  What's your plan for the week?

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...
