Meal Planning Monday, September 30th

Happy Monday friends!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend!  We had some homecoming preparations for our daughter.  What are you having for your meals this week?  Last week was yet another stressful week, which made for a not so great food week.  Meals didn't get cooked as quickly as I would have liked and wound up being different than I planned, but it's okay.  I'm feeling a little more "head in the game" this week.  

 Breakfasts this week:  Pancake bake for my daughter and probably a breakfast casserole or eggs for me.

 Lunches: For my daughter, Lazy Man Lasagna (meatless) and sandwiches.

 For the rest of us: salad, sandwiches and hamburger Philly Cheesesteak over cabbage

 Dinners:  a Mexican casserole that I haven't made up yet. 
Fish and veggies
Kunk Poa Tempura Cauliflower with rice
Fettuccine Alfredo (I'll probably use the spaghetti squash I just cooked)
Sandwich night

 Last week, we wound up at The Ultimate Willy Wonka party, which was awesome!  The week before it was Downton Abbey.  With the stress of being end of the month and being a person short, we worked some overtime just to make sure we didn't want to run screaming from the building.  I think this week will definitely be better! 

 We had frozen pizza, a snacky dinner (I literally had 3 cheesesticks my husband made in the air fryer for me), Subway sandwiches, so not the best food choices.  I was craving sweets a lot and drank 2 Dr Peppers this week.  Well, I don't think I drank the full 12 oz can of either, but it is still more than I have been drinking.  Water is definitely key this week.  My body was feeling dehydrated.  

 Things I'm proud of, I walked a lot more than I have been.  I actually was doing some 10 minute walking videos or setting the timer on my FitBit so that I would move for 10 minutes straight.  What are you proud of this 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.
