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

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...
