Meal Planning Monday, September 9th

Happy Monday friends!  I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!  Mine was a bit busy, but it was good.  I got to enjoy some quiet time, but I got some good meal prepping done.  While my weigh in didn't go quite as planned, I am so seriously planning on a GREAT week!   As they say, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  

 With that being said, I was struggling to eat the breakfast casserole by the end of the week.  This week, I made two different breakfast items to give me some options.  I made a ham, egg and cheese breakfast casserole, some cauliflower "hash browns" and a pancake bake.  I also made a pancake bake for my DD. 

 Honestly, because I struggle having the same thing for days on end, (really how do people do that??) I try to make different things that I can have on different days.  As last week was so crazy and I didn't eat everything I prepped, I still have some leftovers for this week.  So I will use that up and then I am thinking I will make a philly cheesesteak sort of thing that I can serve over cabbage to make it lower in carb.  

 Dinners, as we didn't have every meal we planned last week.  After our Tuesday night at the hospitals and then Thursday's nuclear stress test, it was just a rough week.  

 Last week's meals were:

 Monday: Fruit Smoothie
Tuesday: Peanut Butter and Cheese Crackers at the hospital.
Wednesday: Frozen Pizza from Walmart
Thursday: Burritos, I made mine a "burrito bowl" with lettuce and the fixings I put out for the burritos.
Friday: Fish and veggies
Saturday: Burgers, mac and cheese and Ranch Style Beans
Sunday: Fend for yourself

 This week: 

 Cheesy Cauliflower Rice with broccoli., probably with fish.
Lasagna
Probably the green bean fettuccine with the alfredo sauce later in the week.
One night we will be going out to dinner for my sweet husband's birthday.
Quesadillas
We may do a salad night or a sandwich night.

 I feel pretty positive about the week and being prepared.  I want to start getting my meal plan in place by Friday, so I can grocery shop and then cook on Saturday.  Goals, right?  It's all about making sure that I can take care of me and my family!  Have a blessed day!

    Good job on planning for this week! You have this!!

    I usually have my meal plan idea in place by Wednesday...Thursday at the latest. Them Thursday or Friday I make my grocery list (verifying what I already have and what I need) and then I shop on Saturday. (We only shop every two weeks!)

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

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 ...
