What I Ate Wednesday, October 24th

I thought I'd take some time today to share my meals for Tuesday, October 23rd.  

 For breakfast, I decided to have egg muffins.  One of the YouTubers that I follow made a Denver Omelet inspired breakfast casserole, but I decided I'd prefer to make sure I have some built in portion control.  I put everything in the recipe tracker, but honestly, the portions didn't turn out entirely correct when I actually made the recipe, but I didn't adjust the tracker.  In my mind, it was better for me to over-estimate the points than underestimate the points.  I think when I make them again, I will do the milk, then egg and then any toppings last.  Breakfast Total was 3 Freestyle SmartPoints.


Lunch was a homemade lunchable.  I cut up (not real well as you can tell from the picture) 3 slices of Hormel Naturals Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, 1 serving of hummus, 1 serving of Pita Chips and grape tomatoes.  For future reference, I think I should package my crackers/chips separately so I don't have to put them in the fridge.  I don't like my chips to be cold, but maybe it's personal preference.  Lunch Total was 7 Freestyle Smart Points.

 Dinner was higher in points, but so worth it.  I had 2 of the Ole Whole Wheat Tortillas, with chicken fajitas that I made in the crockpot (chicken bell pepper, onion and seasoning), some homemade refried beans, 20 grams of Avocado, 18 grams of cheese.  It was tasty and quite filling.  Dinner was 10 Freestyle Smartpoints.  So yummy!
Mid-afternoon, I was craving some chocolate.  I don't always give in, but if I portion control these tasty almonds, it's a much better choice than a Reese's cup!  4 Almonds are just enough to curb the sweet tooth and only 1 Freestyle SmartPoint.

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. Hungry Man Cornbread ( Tracey's wa...
