Meal Planning Monday, January 6th

Happy Monday friends! I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend! After my gain this week, I'm determined to have a good on plan week! I have reviewed some recipes and I'm also trying to use up some of the food that we have in the fridge and freezer and pantry before I try to get some meal prepping done later this month. While I am sharing the recipe links to the ones I'm using, I am modifying some in order to use up some of the foods I currently have in my fridge and freezer. Admittedly, I will have to buy some things at the store, I don't think it will be a really expensive trip.

My plan is to make some of the 2 Ingredient Dough bread sticks as shown by Kathy over at Kathy's WW Journey I have been hesitant to try the 2 Ingredient Dough because, after years of bread making, I felt like this would be a little dense and I don't like my bread dense. So I am going to take a shot and try them, but based on what she shared in her video, I feel like this is going to be a win for me. Even if not this week, I want to try the onion bagel version.

Some of these are not WW friendly as written and I'm probably not helping that with the fact that I'm trying to use things I have on hand. I'm sure I can tweak them a little more in the future though. What are you cooking 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!

Meal Plan (with a little prep and planning) Monday, May 5, 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 pasta meal with salad and meat pies. I am honestly exhausted after last week. Our meals for the week are going to be relatively easy and may even be repeats of meals I have had on the plan the last several weeks. Monday: Homemade Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac Tuesday: Barbacoa tacos Wednesday: Mississippi Chicken, mashed potatoes and a vegetable Thursday: Spaghetti with salad and garlic knots Friday: Easy Chicken Parmesan Saturdays and Sundays, we normally have breakfast in and do carryout for lunch or dinner. Exercise wise, I will continue with my plan from last week, which was to do two workouts using my pedals, at least 10 minutes each) on Monday-Wednesday-Friday. I did this las...
