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!

 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...
