What's Cookin Wednesday, July 17th


Happy Hump Day friends!  We made it to the middle of the week!  I tried a new recipe this week and it was delicious!  I made something that I would have never tried to make years ago…I made eggplant parmesan.  It was baked so a little healthier.  As always, I thought I had all my ingredients and I hadn't really used my panko in a while and I didn't have quite enough.  We made it work by crushing some garlic croutons.  I feel good about how it turned out though and we're excited to have it again.  I used this recipe from Delish.  I did substitute the Trader Joe's Lite Mozzarella and I tried not to overdo it with the cheese.  It turned out to be 8 Freestyle SmartPoints.  I served mine with grated zucchini.  My son, who is allergic to zucchini, had his with spaghetti squash and my husband and daughter has rotini because I didn't realize I was out of spaghetti.  Hopefully you will get it a try if you like eggplant.  It might also work for chicken, but I didn't try that.  Have a great one!

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

Meal Plan (and make a plan) Monday, April 27, 2025

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you are looking forward to a good week!  It's time again to share my meal plan for the week.  I suspect breakfasts will be fend for ourselves.  Last week, I think we all ate a lot of cereal.  Lunches this week will likely be chicken salad and a pasta meal.  I, unfortunately, got hit with a round of vertigo at the end of last week that is wrecking havoc on my ability to move too much and it stinks.  I will be going back to what the allergy doctor suggested a couple of years ago...using my daily oral meds (Xyzal and Mucinex), as well as nasal rinse twice a day and nasal allergy spray.  While I know that vertigo for everyone isn't caused by the fluid in the ears, it seems to be for me most times when I've had it.  It's miserable when I can't even sit up without feeling nauseous. Anyway, for that reason, our meals for the week are going to be relatively easy and may even be repeats of meals I have had on the plan th...
