What's for Dinner Wednesday, November 28th

Hello wonderful friends! Happy Hump day! I hope everyone is having a great week thus far.

Is it just me or is it difficult to get back into your routine after a few days off? It's been a little crazy for me, but I am determined that I will have my 5 perfect days to get back into my routine at the end of the week. However, what I can say is getting back into my routine doesn't have to be all salads or veggie soup. Last night, I decided to finally have the Pizza Bubble Up that has been on my meal plan for a couple of weeks. Instead of making one casserole, I decided to make two 8x8 casseroles because not all my family likes the same pizza toppings. I've got one part that prefers just pepperoni and I, personally, am not a fan. I decided to use the Canadian bacon that I had in the freezer for one of the casseroles. I added a Pearls Olives on the Go sliced olive container and some bell pepper, along with the Canadian bacon. I like the bubble up casseroles because they are easy, family friendly and filling. We had salad as well.

Here is a picture of my dinner all plated up. I had already served up my family's dinner before I realized that I hadn't taken a picture. It really turned out well. I think if I had some pizza sauce, it might have been better, but it was good. Good, as in there were no leftovers.

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...
