Friday Focus, January 18th

Happy Friday friends! My apologies for being a bit absent this week. With my allergies knocking me for a little, I wasn't feel up to doing too much writing with my head in a fog. This week has not going the way I planned. Well, let's be honest, January is not going quite the way I planned. Am I throwing my hands in the air and giving up? That a big ole NO! One of the big things that I have learned on this journey is that I can re-group and re-focus and things start clicking back into place. Between blowing my nose constantly, sneezing my head off and hacking up a lung, my food hasn't been horrible, but it hasn't been the most healthy choices either. Workouts have been non-existent. Since I wasn't feeling up to working out, I have really been focusing on my food. I've come in with blue dot days most of the days this week. I decided since I'm off on Monday, I'm going to use this day to do a little meal prep to prepare myself for success. I am also going to try to take a little time to go through my closet and get rid of those clothes that make me feel frumpy or are too big. I am a work in progress.

Also, having some time off on Monday, I can use that time to get some things together on my calendar. I really find that it helps me stay on track and stay focused. For the coming week, I'm going to focus on trying to get my 6,000 steps each day and track everything. What's your focus for the coming week?

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.
