Meal Planning Monday, July 8th

Happy Monday friends!  Hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful weekend!  Overall, it was a good weekend for me.  I am a little disappointed that I didn't have a loss on the official scale, but I am not going to let myself get too upset about it.  Things that happen this week that might have contributed to not seeing a loss...I was put on Prednisone again this week and with the added workouts with the challenge, I think I may be retaining water.  Either way, I know the loss will come.  I am moving more, I'm eating better, so the loss will come.  Our meals are going to be "Italian" heavy this week, but hopefully we'll enjoy them all. 

1. Eggplant Parmigiana and salad;
2. Fettuccine Alfredo (I'll have this with zoodles or spaghetti squash), likely with salad and garlic bread;
3. Bean Burritos;
4. Veggie Plates with biscuits;
5. Burgers or hot dogs.

I got some family time in on Saturday and will likely be heading north again this coming Saturday.  I'll be eating out with family and friends, then I suspect.  Lunches, likely chicken Caesar wraps or chicken Caesar salads.  Breakfasts will be poached eggs and 1 piece of toast and my recent breakfast smoothie bowls.  It's a way for me to get in collagen peptides in and it is tasty and filling.  I got blue dots 6 days out of 7.  While I could be disappointed that I didn't get a blue dot on Sunday, I am not.  I got a workout in and made the choices based on what I wanted most.  It is really a bit freeing when you know you can have what you want, but that you are tracking everything.  Hope everyone has a great day!

    The prednisone alone would probably mess up your weight! A few months back I gained 7 pounds overnight.....because I started taking muscle relaxers and RX strength Aleeve. Infuriating.....I hoped they were the culprit, but I wasn’t sure until I stopped taking them and lost that 7 pounds in a day!

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

Picnic in the Park Collab

 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.
