Happy June 1st

Happy June 1st friends!  Hope everyone is doing well with their goals.  Honestly, May was not so great for me, but I'm moving past it.  Positive things that happened last month:

 - I saw pictures that made me realize how noticeable my weight loss was
- I tried Kodiak pancake/waffle mix and even tried a few recipes with it
- I tried Built Bars
- Found and tried some new meatless meals

 Having grown up in a "meat and potato" household, it's hard for me to think about giving up meat forever.  Maybe some day I won't feel that way, but I am still struggling a bit at the moment.   know it's a process for sure.  My goals for this month besides taking care of myself.  I know that should be a priority but it isn't always.  I have a rib that seems to keep popping out and it's quite annoying.  Thankfully the chiropractor has been able to pop it back in, it just doesn't always stay in place. I want to try some more meatless recipes.  One of my big goals this month is to track everything.  I've been struggling with that again.  Not taking time to enter recipes in the tracker has been a downfall for me.  It is summer, which means there are a lot more fruits and vegetables available that I enjoy.  I was watching a Vlog this morning and was reminded of how much I used to enjoy the "cheeseburger salads" that I would fix several years ago.  I purchased some meatless crumbles that I am planning to try.  I've seen people talking about the Wendie Plan again, even those on Freestyle I may give it a try.  I think it might help me if I'm focusing on a different number each day and not just "23".  I know a lot of people have gone back to PointsPlus, but Freestyle seems to be working for me, so I don't want to fix what ain't broke.  Any suggestions for things I can do while I'm dealing with my back issues would be appreciated.

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.
