Meal Planning Monday, January 28th

Happy Monday friends!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!  It was a busy weekend so I didn't have much time for writing.  It's time for another edition of Meal Planning Monday!  The past week's dinner plan was as follows:

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


 What we had was:

 Monday: Lazy Man Lasagna;
Tuesday: Homemade sandwich and tater tots;
Wednesday: Crockpot Enchilada Casserole
Thursday: Turkey Pot Pie;
Friday: Subway;
Saturday: Pei Wei;
Sunday: Leftovers.

For the coming week, our plan is:

Cheeseburger and Tot Casserole;
Frito Pie;
Mexican Lasagna;
Smoked Turkey and sides;
Baked Potatoes; 
Fettuccine Alfredo and garlic bread.

As always, these meals are subject to change without notice.   This has helped me so much with staying on track.

 I was pleasantly surprised on Saturday when I headed to weigh in before my breakfast with friends.  The official scale showed me down 1.2 this week.  This put my weight at 178.4.  I am very excited this progress.  That puts me 4 pounds down for January.  That's not a bad way to start off the new year!  I have started going through my closet and pulling out one or two pieces that I know I won't wear because it's too big or it makes me feel frumpy.  I 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

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.
