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!

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.

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...
