Meal Planning Monday, June 24th

Happy Monday friends!   I intended to get this done much earlier in the day, but somehow it didn't happen.  Ideas for dinners this week are as follows:

 1. Quinoa veggie bowls;
2. "Veggie" plate with crescent rolls;
3. Make your own salad "bar"; 
4. Ravioli with marinara, garlic bread and salad;
5. Bean and cheese tostadas;
6. Breakfast for dinner.

 Some of these definitely look like repeats from recent weeks, but things haven't gone quite as planned the last few weeks.  Glad to have goals this week though and feeling a little more on plan this way.

 I had a 0.8 pound loss this past Saturday after the gain I had two weeks ago, I appreciated it, but the loss doesn't put me where I was not that long ago.  Just taking things one step at a time.

    A loss is always good! I am hoping for one this week, after weeks (okay, months) of doing nothing but gain.

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 ...
