What's Cookin Wednesday, December 18th

Happy Hump Day friends! I am back for another edition of What's Cookin Wednesday! Some day I will figure out how to make my kitchen more recording friendly, but right now, I'm just trying to figure it out. I actually picked out a couple of recipes that I wanted to try. We're expecting some cold weather around my area, which I'm sure some of my northern friends would laugh about, but it's cold to me. The first one I decided to try was the Skinny Chicken Fajita Soup. Sometimes I really just feel like recipes are a suggestion that worked for someone else and might work for you. I definitely tweaked it a little bit for our family.

Honestly, my chicken wasn't cooked so I decided I'd just use my canned chicken. Here's what I did:

2 - 5 oz. cans of chicken breast
2 - 10 oz. cans of Rotel Tomatoes
1 - 15 oz. can of Black Beans
1 - 32 oz. container of chicken stock
A couple of shakes of taco seasoning because it was handy and I didn't have fajita seasoning.
1 cup of onion
2 cups (approx.) of bell pepper
4 cloves of garlic
about a cup of cooked whole grain brown rice

MyWW Blue Plan: 1

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...

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.
