Meal Planning Monday, February 11th

Happy Monday friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Mine was filled with some running around and working.  I was buying Valentine's stuff for the goodie bags for my Sunday School kids as Sunday was my day to teach.  I love doing special things like that for them!  Now, for another edition of Meal Planning Monday!  The past week's dinner plan was as follows:

 - Baked Potatoes
- Chicken Tikka Masala using the sauce I got from Target with Rice
- Bean and cheese Tostadas
-Meatloaf and Mashed potatoes and Green Beans
- Cheesy Hasbrowns
- Lazy Man Lasagna
- Mac and Cheese

 What we had was: 

 Monday: Papa John's pizza.
Tuesday: Leftover patrol.
Wednesday: Leftover patrol, I had Pita Chips because it was late and I was tired.
Thursday: Chicken Tikka Masala using the sauce from Target and Basmati Rice
Friday: Pei Wei
Saturday: Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas and refried beans
Sunday: Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes

 This week, my plan:

 Beans and Hungry Man Cornbread;
Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Sausage and Green Beans;
Mac & Cheese;
Lazy Man Lasagna;
Homemade Hamburger Stroganoff;
Breakfast for Dinner;
Cheesy Hasbrowns (from 100 Days of Real Food)

 Thee meals are subject to change without notice.  After a rough food week, I'm looking forward to getting a handle on things in the coming week.  I sort of felt like I was spiraling out of control this week and it showed on the official scale with a gain of 0.8.  That's a 1 pound gain in two weeks.  While that doesn't sound horrible and it isn't horrible, if I continue down this path, I may wind up back where I started from and I sure don't want that.  I was suffering with headaches due to being so far out of alignment.  I went on Wednesday and got an adjustment and it helped so much.  This week, I don't have all my lunches planned, but I do have a general idea of lunches for the week.  Soup is probably going to be a big thing for me this week.  I sort of worry though because the weather has been so crazy and I don't necessarily want to have soup when it's really warm outside.  I guess I just need to sort of play it by ear.  I am planning on making it a good week!  Focusing on those little things this week.  Hitting my step goal and focusing on what I eat and tracking it.  Hope you have a great weekend!

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

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
