Meal Planning Monday, January 13th


Happy Monday friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Last week, the plan was:
- Bean and Cheese tostadas;
- Spaghetti (I'll probably have spaghetti squash), chicken meatballs, zero point marinara and garlic bread or garlic biscuits;
- Crescent dogs and an unspecified side;
-Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and an unspecified veggie;
-Pizza Bubble Up casserole;
-Macaroni and Cheese.

What we had was:

Monday night: Crescent Dogs
Tuesday night: Spaghetti, zero point marinara and chicken meatballs
Wednesday night: Bean and cheese burritos
Thursday night: meatloaf and mashed potatoes
Friday night: Taco Bueno (I had enchiladas)
Saturday night: leftovers
Sunday night: Pancakes and bacon

This week the plan is:
- Macaroni and Cheese;
- Lazy Man Lasagna;
- Cheeseburger and Tot casserole;
- Fettuccine Alfredo and garlic biscuits;
-Pizza Bubble-Up Casserole; and
-Breakfast for dinner.

Apparently, the Mountain Cedar has been crazy high.  I started getting sick on Wednesday afternoon.  By Thursday afternoon, I was feeling pretty rough.   I called my allergy doctor and was told that it hit an all time 15 year high just a couple of days before.  According to a pollen website that I found, January 8th was a red day (very high) and then high for several days, but as of yesterday, it seems to be moderate.  I was literally in bed since Thursday afternoon.  I got up in my fuzzy jammies and stepped on my scale at home, which showed a 1 pound loss.  It isn’t official yet because I didn’t get on the official WW scale, but it’s still something to help keep me motivated.  Hope everyone has a great 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!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

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...
