Meal Plan (with a little prep and planning) Monday, May 5, 2025

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 last week and Wednesday and Friday, I did 15 minutes for one of them. Tuesday and Thursday, also two workouts, but only one workout using my pedals for at least 10 minutes and the second one will be a strength training of at least 10 minutes. I did pretty well last week with this, and hoping that this will help me get back in the habit.

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...

TACO MEATBALLS 1 lb Ground Turkey 3 Tbsp Taco Seasoning 1 Tbsp. Ranch Seasoning 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped) 1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese 2 Tsp Garlic Cloves 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.* 2. In a large mixing bowl, add turkey, cheese, green onions, garlic, Taco and Ranch Seasoning and mix well using your hands. Form into 16 to 18 golf ball size meatballs (I use small ice cream scoop). 3. Bake meatballs in for 15 minutes or until browned. Flip halfway through cooking time: This allows meatballs to brown on both sides, especially great if serving as an appetizer. Suggestions for serving: Serve hot with brown rice/quinoa, guacamole and pico de gallo. Or serve as an appetizer. We are going to serve as a Taco Bowl, with Spanish Cauliflower Rice and beans.
