So, today’s question my dear MyLotters is ….

My mom used to cook 2 times a day when we were kids because my dad didn't like the same food for lunch and dinner. I think that's not sustainable for a family, I prefer to cook large portions of food and freeze them for later. For...

I need to make breakfast as well as prepare something to eat for lunch at work. I believe I will be using a frozen vegetable combination--stir fry veggies with noodles for lunch.
There is a fresh pot of coffee.
I will have one...

With inflation and how much food is costing at the grocery store these days, it has become a necessity to try to make meals that are easy on the tummy and the pocket book.
Previously these meals have been referred to as...

I have gotten back into the habit of doing a loose meal plan for the week. I actually stuck to it except for two nights. One night we had too much going on and by the time I got around to making dinner there wasn't enough time to...

A few days ago, I made an egg bake which called for eggs, (obviously), broccoli, cayenne pepper and regular black pepper. Quite simple really. I substituted zucchini for the broccoli.
My husband wouldn't eat more than the initial...

I was sort of hoping for a snow day this week. We had a little more snow last night but not much.
So, I think most of the people I talk to have their minds somewhere else.
I confess that I do.
I am not quite ready for work...

The YouTube video I am sharing is kind-of lengthy and boring, but very wise. Jordan shares how she plans meals every week for no more than $25.00 each week.
Doing this is a part-time job in itself. But, the reward is... saving...

Since it is Sunday evening here (well almost Monday morning) it is time to start planning for what I am going to have to eat during the week.
This past week I did not do good at all. I had too many carb days, and didn't stick to...

Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
For those interested - I did go up on the scale to 180.4. I may go up again because of what I ate today, but I plan to be back to my low carb eating tomorrow.
The latest news here is that...

I don't usually make a plan for each day specifically, but I do like to have things in mind to have throughout the week.
So, what am I planning on for the new week?
1. Fried eggs & sausage, can't go wrong with that.
2. Hard...

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I hope you are all doing great.
I am sure you all know by now that I didn't do great this weekend. I never seem to do good on the weekends. I can do pretty good through the week and then...

Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
I haven't shared my food/health post for the weekend, but that is because I haven't been on plan. Yesterday I was out of town all day shopping, so had lunch out. Then today I went out of...

I feel as if I have cooked all day. I have gotten other things done as well, but I am stretching my brain to make sure I fix enough food of a good variety.
At the hospital the only time they served bread was breakfast or if you...

The kids have been in school all week and I still feel like I'm getting my bearings. I don't think I've slowed down yet.
Yesterday I went to the monthly produce pickup and brought home several boxes of leaf lettuce, several...
