Meal Planning Monday, December 3rd

Happy Monday friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I managed to lose a pound last week, which is a positive.  Last week, I planned to have this: 

Pizza Bubble Up casserole; 
Homemade Hamburger Helper mix with turkey;
Tostadas (I will probably ask my husband to make his no recipe Spanish Rice for the family);

Fryer Chicken with root vegetables.

What we had was: 

Lima Beans and cornbread;
Pizza Bubble Up Casserole;
Macaroni and Cheese (from Costco);
Veggie Pizza/Pepperoni frozen pizza for the kids;

It was not the best week as I had several days where I had a bad headache.  However, I tracked my food and hit my step goal.

For the coming week, I have planned:

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.

For lunches this week, the plan is to have salads a couple of days this week and for another couple of days, it will likely be chicken with veggies.  I am feeling positive that I have a game plan.  I know I have at least one doctor's appointment this week, but I really need to schedule a second one as well.  One step at a time thought.  

Downside, I apparently tweaked my knee today, but I put some Deep Blue Rub on it tonight and I an hoping it will feel better in the morning.  Hope everyone has a great week!  Do you have a game plan for your first week of December?

  1. I have some traveling coming up, so I have definitely been planning! I am nervous about being so far off routine this upcoming month. I want to keep moving forward and not get thrown off the wagon like I have in the past.

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.
