Thursday Thoughts, January 24th

Happy Thursday a/k/a Friday eve friends!  How's your week going?  So far so good for mine.  I've had several blue dot days this week and I'm proud of that.  I know meal planning and meal prepping can be a bit daunting, but I am really figuring out how beneficial it can be.  At the present time, I only meal plan for a week at a time.  Usually I have ideas in my head for a second week, but I don't usually write those down.  I keep seeing folks posting that they plan for a month at a time.  I am not sure I am quite ready for that yet, but I think I may try to go for 2 weeks, at least.  With everyone's schedule being so crazy, I think it's really going to be even more important that I plan for our meals.  My great hope is to take President's Day to prepare some freezer meals so that we are even more prepared for February and March.  I am compiling recipes now to do just that.  My primary focus is to choose meals that I know my family will enjoy that I can make work for us because we do have to accommodate some food allergies as well.  To that end, I've been scouring Pinterest and YouTube to find things that I think we will like.  I recently tried one that will make a good freezer meal called Lazy Man Lasagna and it was a hit.  How do you prepare yourself for success?

    I don't know what I want for dinner tonight, let alone a month from now! Anyone who can plan meals a month in advance have my utmost respect!

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...
