Meal Planning Monday, December 10th


 Happy Monday friends!  I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!  

Last week, I planned to cook:

Cheeseburgers with fries in the air fryer;
Turkey Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and an unspecified side;
Spaghetti with marinara;
Fryer Chicken with leftover macaroni and cheese; and
Bean and Cheese Burritos.

What we actually had for dinner was:

Fryer Chicken with leftover macaroni and cheese;
Cheeseburgers with fries in the air fryer;
Super Easy Chicken and Dumplings;
Subway sandwiches;
Turkey Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and Brussels Sprouts; and
Pizza.

For the coming week, I have planned:

Spaghetti with marinara;
Bean and Cheese Burritos;
Hobo Dinner Foil packets;
Breakfast for dinner; and
Chicken and roasted veggies.

I am having a salad today and probably at least one more day this week.  I have not decided what I will have the other days, but I will get something planned tonight.  

Weigh-in update for this week, I lost 0.2.  It’s not much, but it’s still a loss and that counts.

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.
