Meal Planning Monday, September 30th

Happy Monday friends!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend!  We had some homecoming preparations for our daughter.  What are you having for your meals this week?  Last week was yet another stressful week, which made for a not so great food week.  Meals didn't get cooked as quickly as I would have liked and wound up being different than I planned, but it's okay.  I'm feeling a little more "head in the game" this week.  

 Breakfasts this week:  Pancake bake for my daughter and probably a breakfast casserole or eggs for me.

 Lunches: For my daughter, Lazy Man Lasagna (meatless) and sandwiches.

 For the rest of us: salad, sandwiches and hamburger Philly Cheesesteak over cabbage

 Dinners:  a Mexican casserole that I haven't made up yet. 
Fish and veggies
Kunk Poa Tempura Cauliflower with rice
Fettuccine Alfredo (I'll probably use the spaghetti squash I just cooked)
Sandwich night

 Last week, we wound up at The Ultimate Willy Wonka party, which was awesome!  The week before it was Downton Abbey.  With the stress of being end of the month and being a person short, we worked some overtime just to make sure we didn't want to run screaming from the building.  I think this week will definitely be better! 

 We had frozen pizza, a snacky dinner (I literally had 3 cheesesticks my husband made in the air fryer for me), Subway sandwiches, so not the best food choices.  I was craving sweets a lot and drank 2 Dr Peppers this week.  Well, I don't think I drank the full 12 oz can of either, but it is still more than I have been drinking.  Water is definitely key this week.  My body was feeling dehydrated.  

 Things I'm proud of, I walked a lot more than I have been.  I actually was doing some 10 minute walking videos or setting the timer on my FitBit so that I would move for 10 minutes straight.  What are you proud of this week?

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.
