Simple Sunday, May 5th

Happy Sunday friends!  I hope you had a fantastic end of the week and are looking forward to a great week!  My Thursday and 
Friday were busy but very enjoyable!  While it's been a rough couple of weeks food-wise, with me taking antibiotics that were causing stomach issues and me not being able to eat much, if at all and Canada Dry Ginger Ale was my temporary BFF, I expected and received a gain on the scale.  I showed a gain of 2.4 pounds this week.  This week, hopefully, I will be feeling better and I can actually eat like a normal person.  

 I enjoyed my time at the North Texas District Ladies, Joy Conference 2019 on Thursday evening and Friday.  It is always such a great time to fellowship and see old friends.  As I was looking at the pictures from Thursday night's service, I saw this one of me in purple.  

After seeing it, I remember that there was one taken of me the Thursday night at the Joy Conference 2018: 
What a difference a year makes! My beautiful sisters and friends from church often comment on my loss, but until I saw this difference between these two pictures.  I know it is often more difficult for us to see our own losses.  This definitely helped me to see that I have been successful even if the scale doesn't always show it.  Honestly, the way my clothes fit makes such a difference for me.  While I know that not everyone that reads my blog shares my religious beliefs, I would appreciate no negative comments be made about my beliefs.  The world would be very boring if we were all exactly the same. 

Seeing these truly makes me see that my efforts, even when they are not going as well as I'd like to see on the scale, are all adding up!  I am making progress!  It feels good to see that and to say that!

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.
