Meal Planning Monday, July 15th

Happy Monday friends!  How was everyone's weekend?  I am so excited for this week.  I feel like I've set myself up for success.  Breakfast options this week, eggs and smoothie bowls.  Lunches will be veggies and chicken and salads.  I have lots of roasted veggies so I'm excited about this week.  Dinner plans for this week:

• Veggie Bowls with quinoa;
• Smothered Bean Burritos;
• Cauliflower Tikka Masala;
• Salad (originally taco salad, but I forgot to get Catalina Dressing); and
• Pizza Bubble Up casserole.  

Last week's meals were:

Monday - Fettuccine Alfredo (I used spaghetti squash), Caesar salad and garlic bread;
Tuesday - Macaroni and Cheese (From a box);
Wednesday - Subway;
Thursday - Burger and fries (in the air fryer);
Friday - Pizza from Pappa John's.
Saturday - Eggplant Parmesan (I had mine with zoodles) and salad.

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

Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes.

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 ...
