Transforming Tracey, Day 1

If you watch my YouTube channel, you might have heard that my bad cholesterol is high.  My triglycerides are good, and overall cholesterol is good, but my bad cholesterol is high.  I do not want to be put on cholesterol medication.  My Mom had a very bad reaction so that's not a risk I want to take.  I did some research, which suggested that exercise and losing weight would help.  So, I am determined to get to work on me, one day at a time.

Day 1 is off to a good start.  I did the 2 mile, Miracle Mile with the Miracle Mile Band this morning and my back exercises, given to me at PT towards the end of 2020.   Hoping for a good day of eating! 




Breakfast: 1 Medium Banana  and 1 Orgain Plant Based Chocolate Protein Shake.

Lunch: Baked Potato, topped with a serving of Herdez Queso Blanco, a serving of Daisy Sour Cream and 1 cup of roasted broccoli and cauliflower.

Dinner: Veggie Soup (Cabbage, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Frozen Multicolored Carrots, Frozen Green Beans, 1/4 head of Cabbage, 1 onion) and 2 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.

Snack: Chobani Greek Yogurt Black Cherry on the bottom.

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
