Simply Sunday, June 2nd

Happy Sunday friends!  I hope everyone is having a blessed day.  Just wanted to ask one question today, what are you doing to set yourself up for success this week?

For myself, I will be cutting my vegetables and cleaning my fruit to make sure I have a good week.  Those little steps help to set us up for success throughout the week.  Even little things like browning meat ahead of time, makes it easier to put together meals.  I'll be taking some time to roast some veggies as well.  Those quinoa bowls I was talking about a week or so ago are definitely on my list this week.  It may be a lunch or it may be a dinner or both.

I think I forgot to post my June starting weight yesterday.  My starting weight for June is 178.2.  Is it the smallest I have been?  No, it's not, but it's where I am and it's where I hope not to stay long.  

Wishing each of you a successful week!

  1. I made some pork chops in the crockpot yesterday to have leftovers to pack for my lunches this week. Unfortunately, it was a new recipe, and my crockpot must cook faster than normal, because the pork chops are pretty dry. I still packed some for my lunch today, but I am not nearly as excited about trying something new for lunch, knowing they are like shoe leather :)

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

 S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe  here  from Six Sisters' Stuff.  The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings.  I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so.  There were a couple that were smaller.
