Meal Planning Monday, March 9th

Happy Monday friends!  I'm back to share my meal plan for this week.

Monday - Cheeseburger & Tot Casserole
Tuesday - Taco Salad
Wednesday - Lentil Chili Frito Pie
Thursday - Cod and roasted veggies
Friday - 2 Ingredient Dough Pizza

After the rough week this past week, being hit with a migraine and knocking me off my streak, it was frustrating.  Thankfully, I didn't gain a ton, slightly less than 0.5 lbs.  

So goes the plan for this week.  I'm determined to focus on the eating the zero point foods this week.  The Cheeseburger & Tot Casserole isn't super low in points, but that's part of why I'm having it earlier in the week.  However, I will have the points for that.  I feel more in control of things this week.

What is on your meal plan for this week? I'm excited to hear!  Have a great week!

  1. Planning meals is the hardest part of this for me right now. I work two jobs and don't get home until close to 10 PM, and I have eat "dinner" while trying to type at my second job. I end up so hungry when I get home that I will eat almost anything. The cheeseburger and tot casserole sounds really good!

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

 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.
