Happy Monday friends!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!  It's time for another edition of Meal Planning Monday!  The past week's dinner plan was as follows:

- Macaroni and Cheese;
- Lazy Man Lasagna;
- Cheeseburger and Tot casserole;
- Fettuccine Alfredo and garlic biscuits;
-Pizza Bubble-Up Casserole; and

-Breakfast for dinner.

What we had was:

Monday: Crescent Dogs and Home fries;
Tuesday: Pizza Bubble Up Casserole;
Wednesday: Fettuccine Alfredo and garlic cheese bread;
Thursday: Baked Potatoes;
Friday: Subway;
Saturday: Cheeseburger and Tot Casserole;
Sunday: Snack Foods because we had a large lunch.

 For the coming week, our plan is:

 Lazy Man Lasagna;
Turkey Pot Pie;
Veggie Chili Mac;
Macaroni and Cheese;
Homemade loaded Tater Tots;
Beans and Cornbread;
Mexican Lasagna.

 As always, these meals are subject to change without notice.   I will say this really helps me to stay on track.  I like being able to pick a meal out of several meals depending on what we have going on.  I am using Post-It notes that fit into my Planner to make it easier to change things, if need be.

 All this planning and tracking has definitely helped a great deal.  I headed to weigh in on Saturday and the official scale said I was down 2.8 pounds.  This put my weight at 179,6.  I wasn't expecting to hit the 170's this week, but I am so excited to have hit this milestone!  I has been some time since I've been this low and I'm excited to continue this journey.  Time to go through my closets again and discard some clothes!  Hope everyone has a great week!

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...

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.
