Tuesday Talk, July 16th


Happy Tuesday friends!  How's your week going?  For this week's Tuesday Talk, let's talk about Fats.  I don't cook with a ton of oil, I do like to spray my veggies with olive or avocado oil before I roast them.  There's so many great options for adding some healthy fats into our diets.  I love to add a little avocado to my smoothies or to my veggies bowls.  I also love adding some sliced olives to my salads.  I also love to snack on some nuts, although, those can add up calories and points-wise.  I know that fats got a bad wrap for years.  Flashback to Susan Powter and the low-fat craze in the 90's.  Although, let's be honest, she wasn't completely on the wrong track when she said "read the labels, read the labels"!  Those are some great things that we should all take to heart even now.  Fats can be such a confusing topic and I can't honestly say that I'm 100% on top of it, but I am a firm believer in everything in moderation.  I found this week, adding more olives and such into my diet this past week surely helped me manage to show the 1 pound loss this week.  How do you fit those healthy fats into your diet?

    Nuts (in a trail mix) and peanut butter (seriously just a small spoon straight up). Works for me for healthy fats and protein boosts!!!

    But I preach moderation for myself....so I know that if I’m eating healthy options my fat content should be ok!

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.
