What's Cookin Wednesday, July 24th

Happy Wednesday a/k/a Hump Day friends!  How's your week going?  I do have a recipe to share, but I have to tell you, Monday did not go quite as I'd planned.  I was exhausted, it was a rough night with the CPAP so I felt like I hadn't slept well.  DH and I agreed we would go "out" for lunch.  Well, my choice at the deli in our building was not a great choice and used the remainder of my points for the day.  So I started plotting and planning what I would eat for dinner...DH thought he was going to have to work late...so I offered to bring him lunch.  As this week is so busy, with a Bible Study beginning Tuesday night with EndTimes Ministries, then our regular Wednesday night service.  Given that, I knew I had to get shopping done on Monday night.  

Now for the recipe.  Have you seen those CeCe's Veggie Co. Noodled (spiralized veggies) and more recently Riced?  I purchased the CeCe's Veggie Co. Riced Organic Veggie Medley and some ready cooked chicken breast.  I decided I'd throw in a couple of eggs and some Bragg Liquid Aminos to make some cauliflower fried rice.  My husband really enjoyed it, as did I.  It was quick and easy and tasty.  Some days you need convenient, but healthy.  I was impressed with the flavor combination in the Organic Veggie Medley and I think I may buy it again next week and prepare some for us to take for lunch!  My one concern is how it may reheat.  If you try it, let me know how you like it.

    1. I would have if I hadn't decided to have an ice cream sandwich after I got home from dinner with my husband at his office. It was not my best choice, but it was my choice to make and that's one of the reasons I love WW.

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

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. 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 ...
