Meal Planning Monday, December 17th

Happy, happy Monday friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Last week, I planned to cook:

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

What I remember for sure that we had was:

Spaghetti with marinara;
Hobo Dinner Foil Packets;
Velveeta Shells and cheese;
Tomato Soup and Grill Cheese.

This week for dinners:

Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers with homemade "cheese fries";
7 Can soup minus the corn;
Breakfast for dinner;
Chicken "pies" with veggies;
Beans and cornbread;
Beans and rice (this isn't a definite, but a possibility for sure).

As always, these meals are subject to change without notice. I haven't felt 100% this week, so it's been a bit of a struggle to feel inspired to make meals this past week. Hoping that passes this week and I am back to "normal".

I am having a salad today and probably at least one more day this week. I think we are going to have roasted potatoes, veggies and chicken or smoked sausage.

Weigh-in update for this week, I gained 0.2. Honestly, considering my eating was not as on plan as I would have preferred, I am completely okay with it. Sometimes it's just about figuring out how to navigate the waters so that I can do this for a lifetime. I have a plan in place to try to get candy made along with the meals that I need to cook. It's a process but I'm looking forward to it! Have a magical Monday!

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!

Meal Plan (with a little prep and planning) Monday, May 5, 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.

Monday: Homemade Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac Tuesday: Barbacoa tacos Wednesday: Mississippi Chicken, mashed potatoes and a vegetable Thursday: Spaghetti with salad and garlic knots Friday: Easy Chicken Parmesan Saturdays and Sundays, we normally have breakfast in and do carryout for lunch or dinner.
