Meal Planning Monday, December 3rd

Happy Monday friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I managed to lose a pound last week, which is a positive.  Last week, I planned to have this: 

 Pizza Bubble Up casserole; 
Homemade Hamburger Helper mix with turkey;
Tostadas (I will probably ask my husband to make his no recipe Spanish Rice for the family);

Fryer Chicken with root vegetables.

 What we had was: 

 Lima Beans and cornbread;
Pizza Bubble Up Casserole;
Macaroni and Cheese (from Costco);
Veggie Pizza/Pepperoni frozen pizza for the kids;

 It was not the best week as I had several days where I had a bad headache.  However, I tracked my food and hit my step goal.

 For the coming week, I have planned:

 Cheeseburgers with fries in the air fryer;
Turkey Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and an unspecified side;
Spaghetti with marinara;
Fryer Chicken with leftover macaroni and cheese; and
Bean and Cheese Burritos.

 For lunches this week, the plan is to have salads a couple of days this week and for another couple of days, it will likely be chicken with veggies.  I am feeling positive that I have a game plan.  I know I have at least one doctor's appointment this week, but I really need to schedule a second one as well.  One step at a time thought.  

 Downside, I apparently tweaked my knee today, but I put some Deep Blue Rub on it tonight and I an hoping it will feel better in the morning.  Hope everyone has a great week!  Do you have a game plan for your first week of December?

    I have some traveling coming up, so I have definitely been planning! I am nervous about being so far off routine this upcoming month. I want to keep moving forward and not get thrown off the wagon like I have in the past.

My Favorite Instant Pot Recipe is...Collab

Image
  A big THANK YOU to Kim over at  A Girl and Her Phone  for putting together this collaboration!  This time we are doing our favorite Instant Pot recipe.  I will be honest and say that I have not made Fried Rice in the Instant Pot before but it is a family favorite!  I used this  Easy Instant Pot Hibachi Fried Rice  as my guide.  We had brown basmati rice that had already been cooked that I needed to use, as well as some shredded chicken that I had on hand.  Also, I used the veggies from a Stir Fry Teriyaki Kit but not the sauce.  This was definitely a good choice for my crew!  Looking forward to making this again!   Here's how I modified the recipe to make it work for me: Sesame oil - 1Tbsp Bragg Organic coconut liquid aminos - 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter - 1Tbsp Egg(s) - 4item(s) Stir fry vegetables without sauce - 9 cup(s) Cooked brown rice - 4 cup(s) Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast(s) - 8oz I added the sesame oil, cooked down the onions and veggies.  Then added the butter an

What's Cookin' Wednesday: Hungry Man Cornbread

Image
  This recipe was my Mom's recipe that she submitted to the PTA years ago when I was in elementary school.  The recipe books were mimeographed and stapled together.  Hungry Man Cornbread (original recipe from memory) : 2 packages of cornbread mix (she used Martha White), prepared according to the package. 1 pound of ground beef, browned (usually with onion) American Cheese Slices Prepare your cornbread according to the package.  Brown your ground beef with onion, if desired, and seasonings of your choosing.  Prepare a 9 X 13 inch pan.  Pour half of your cornbread mixture (or if you prepare them one at a time, put one package of cornbread mix, prepared) in the bottom of the pan.  Top with your ground beef mixture, then top the ground beef mixture with Cheese Slices.  Top all of this with the other half of your prepared cornbread mix.  Cook on 400 for about 20 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Hungry Man Cornbread ( Tracey's way ) I use the cornbread recipe from
