Meal Planning Monday, November 11th

Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone is doing well. Thought I'd take a moment and share my meal plan for the week.

Also, I know for those of us on WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, there is some excitement as the new programs roll out officially today! I will be heading to a meeting tonight to gather the information and make a final decision. While I know I need to track and have done pretty well on Freestyle, I feel like I may change to the Purple plan. I will continue to track because it is what works for me.

Okay, now for the meal plan for the week:

Monday: Family dinner out.
Tuesday: Vegetarian Pasta e Fagioli
Wednesday: Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup
Thursday: Beans and Cornbread
Friday: Leftover Patrol
Saturday: Chicken and Dressing
Sunday: Unknown

I am getting a little better about planning more specifically for the day right now, but we'll see if that continues.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

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.

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...
