Tuesday, December 5th

Good evening all!  I hope everyone had a great day!  You know that moment when things just don't go as planned?  Yep, I had one of those days.  While I think that my dinner plan was a good one, it wound up changing.  

 Today's meals: Breakfast was my breakfast smoothie, coffee with coconut milk creamer.  Lunch was my Subway steak and cheese salad with a little ranch and 2 of the small packages of Club crackers.  Dinner was leftover pizza (1 small piece and 1 standard size piece and 2 cheese sticks.  Water to drink all day.  I was a little lax on getting my steps in today but still managed to get my current goal of 6,000 steps.  I wanted to hit 10,000 but we got a little busy and it was hard to keep moving and type at that point.  I did get in 39 active minutes so that's a positive.  

 My spaghetti sauce didn't get started as early as I wanted, but it is prepared and currently in the fridge so we can make a quick dinner tomorrow night.  My spaghetti noodles are already prepared so I only have to warm things up and fix some garlic bread.  It should make for a quick dinner.  Breakfast will likely be my breakfast smoothie again and coffee with coconut milk creamer.  Lunch will be the 7 can soup that I currently have going in the crockpot.  I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe as a base and modified it a bit to work with what I had in the pantry.  While it may not be the most point friendly meal, it will be warm and with the (finally) cooler weather we are getting, I will be looking forward to it.  I will likely have some green tea and peppermint as well.  I need to get my meals pre-tracked for tomorrow.  I feel so much better when that is done.  Have a great night!

Picnic in the Park Collab

 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...

What's Cookin' Wednesday: Hungry Man Cornbread

  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.
