Meal Planning Monday, April 29th

Happy Monday friends! I hope this Monday finds you well and that you have a great start to the week! In the spirit of honesty, it's been a rough few days and I haven't been as consistent as I need to be with my eating. The antibiotics that I've been on making me sick to my stomach and often times I don't feel like cooking or eating. Having a plan definitely helps though me not get so far off track.

For the coming week, the menu plan is:

Quesadillas, Caesar salad, smothered bean burritos, pizza bubble up casserole, cheeseburger and tot casserole and cheesy hashbrowns and baked potatoes. To be honest, we may wind up having a "leftover" night or I may change one of these meals for a breakfast for dinner option. It's always a good meal for us to have and will allow me to change things up a bit so that I will have meatless options for my DD16 now that she's decided she wants to go vegetarian. It is definitely make me re-think my meal plans for sure.

As of my weigh in today, I'm inching my way down to almost 30 pounds down. It's been a bit of a haul to get here, but I'm proud of where I am. I need to get back into my walking but it has not happened yet, at least not consistently. Come the end of the week, I'll be enjoying the women's conference that I've been looking forward to since last year. It is such a good time in fellowship with some dear women. I am looking forward to a good time. 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!

Monday: Homemade Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac Tuesday: Barbacoa tacos Wednesday: Mississippi Chicken, mashed potatoes and a vegetable Thursday: Spaghetti with salad and garlic knots Friday: Easy Chicken Parmesan Saturdays and Sundays, we normally have breakfast in and do carryout for lunch or dinner.
