Meal Planning Monday, October 15th

Hi all!  Sorry that this is going up late, but I was under the weather yesterday.  Last week was a bit of a rough week.  I did not have an opportunity to prepare what I had planned last week, or this weekend, actually.  I do have a few ideas rolling around in my head though for meals for this week.  So far, I have the following thoughts given our change in temperature this week:

 1. Chicken Noodle-less soup.  My plan is to use spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti noodles, but I may make spaghetti noodles for some of my family.   I am thinking the leftovers of this will also make a tasty lunch for a few days as well.

 2. Beans and special cornbread.  A family favorite in our house.  The recipe I use for my cornbread is a variation of my Mom's recipe.  The short version of this recipe is that I use ground beef, a recipe for cornbread from scratch and some cheese.  This is so good that we tend to eat the cornbread by itself.  

 3. Breakfast for dinner.  I will likely make a "Denver omelet" type casserole because I have a ton of bell pepper leftover from last week.

 4. Bacon Lettuce Tomato sandwiches.

 5. Spaghetti and Marinara.  I will need to make the Zero Point Marinara that we enjoy.  I may pull out some of the chicken meatballs that I have in the freezer.

 6.  I am thinking either a variation on a Mexican lasagna or bean burritos for another meal.  

 I was going to try a beef and broccoli recipe, but I am having difficulty finding everything I need for it, so I may wait a little longer on that one.  I also may make a batch of the creamy cauliflower potato soup that I posted the recipe for on October 3, 2018.  It just seems more and more like we're actually getting some cooler weather this year.  

 I had a gain of 0.6 on Saturday when I weighed in.  Again, I'm not going to beat myself up for it.  I just need to focus on trying to get my steps in, along with my water and getting my blue dot each day.  NSV for this week though, while I need to lose some more weight in my stomach, I did fit into (it buttons and zips) into a skirt that I couldn't fit into just a few weeks ago.

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.
