Meal Planning Monday, August 19th

Happy Monday Friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Ours was busy but it was good.  We did some painting at church to try to make a space for our little bitty folks and "trading spaces" for our youth and young adults classes.  It made the weekend pass quickly, but aside from that, we enjoyed some family time too.  We celebrated our anniversary belatedly with my in-laws who were in town before heading north again.  It is such a blessing to have some family time.  Then I find out a cousin passed away from the Dobbs side of my family, so there was a family night to add to the mix as well.  Our little Allen Life Chapel was pretty packed yesterday as well.  

 At weigh in on Saturday morning, I was down 0.6.  Not what I was hoping but my eating was not 100% on Friday.  After dinner with my in-laws, etc., I have decided I will not follow the WENDIE Plan for this week, but will act like I've used up my weeklies and just focus on using my daily points allowance this week.

 Honestly, this week's meals are not 100%.  I've still got lots rolling around in my head.  We had a veggie night last week and, quite honestly may have on again this week.  I only fixed fish one night last week, so I will try again.  Otherwise, I'm going to try for the fettuccine again and probably a salad.  I didn't realize how much I'd been craving one.  

 Last week, it wound up being frozen pizza on Monday.  Tuesday was Fish. Wednesday was Taco Bell.  Thursday was the veggie dinner.  Friday was 4 mini rice krispies with chocolate. Saturday was Italian food. Sunday was chicken fried steak, which I couldn't finish. Hope everyone has a great day and a fantastic week!

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.
