Meal Planning Monday, March 18th

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  While nothing specific to share, overall, our weekend was good.  Last week's meal plan was as follows:

Monday: Pulled Pork with chips
Tuesday: Cheeseburger and Tot Casserole
Wednesday: Fettuccine Alfredo & Garlic bread
Thursday: Breakfast for dinner
Friday: Beans and Mom's cornbread
Saturday: Cane's
Sunday: Snack food because we had a late lunch.

The plan for the week is a little fluid because we have friends coming in from out of state, so things are subject to change without notice.

Mexican Lasagna
Baked Potatoes
Spaghetti, Salad and Garlic Bread
Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes and an unspecified vegetable. 

I really tried to focus on my points this week.  My moment was not as good as I would have liked, but I did lose 2.2 lbs.  I realized that I only have a little more than half a pound to hit 30 pounds lost!  I haven't been that low since before my husband and I began dating and we will celebrate 10 years of marriage in August.  I am definitely trying to stay focused on what I know I need to do to keep moving forward with my weight loss and health journey.  Some days are really just one step or one meal at a time.  I hope everyone has a fantastic 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
