Meal Planning Monday, July 22nd

Happy Monday friends!  I feel a little bit like a kid in a candy store this week with my daughter gone.  I'm not trying to come up with meatless meals that we can have all week.  With that in mind, the menu for this week may change without notice.  The plan thus far:

 - Hamburgers and fries/tater tots
- Chicken Fajitas/refried beans and rice (not sure if this will be cauliflower rice or brown rice)
- Hamburger Stroganoff/salad
- Spaghetti with zero point marinara, chicken meatballs, salad and garlic bread
- Breakfast for dinner

 The end of the week had me a little out of sorts.  I had my appointment with the medical company delivering my CPAP machine.  I started on Thursday night and I can tell you it's a bit of an adjustment as I've never really slept with one before.  This year I am determined to take care of me and this is all part of it.  Also, because of my tiredness and back pain, I didn't stick very well with the challenge this week.  I'm getting back to it this week though.  I already talked to DH about us getting up and walking in the a.m.  I did lose 1.6 pounds officially this week, but still a couple of pounds away from my more recent low of 176.  I'll get there, sooner than later, I hope, but one step at a time.  I am also thinking that I may add in some yoga at night to help me relax.

 Meals for last week, some of which were not great, we had:

 Monday - Cauliflower Tikka Masala and Naan with some Basmati Rice and peas.
Tuesday: Veggie plates
Wednesday: Subway sandwich
Thursday: Chinese take out - I had fried rice, but there were some vegetarian options that my DH and daughter enjoyed.
Friday: I had some tortilla chips.  I came home not feeling well, so it was a fend for yourself night.
Saturday: Mexican at my favorite hometown restaurant.  It was not as good as it normally is.
Sunday: Fend for yourself night.

 Looking forward to a good week.  I may have to stick with some lower point lunch options, but I think I can manage! Hope you have a fantastic beginning to your week!

    Congrats on the 1.6 pounds! Don’t look at what you wanted to lose. Don’t look at your previous low. Just congratulate yourself for losing 1.6!!! That’s an awesome loss!!!

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.
