Well Howdy friends! Did this weekend just seem to fly by for you too? It was beautiful weather here which is always a nice surprise in the beginning of March. It’s a bit of a dreary, rainy Monday morning so if you need a little inspiration to get you going here is a Monday Affirmation form Saratogaocean.com So if you find yourself in a grumpy mood try just saying this affirmation a few times.
I welcome this week with the warm embrace of my heart. I am so grateful to have a new chance to move forward to a happier place in my experience. I thank God and the Universe for this magnificent experience called life.
Now onto my weekly menu:
Monday:
Chicken rice bowls
Tuesday:
Taco Salad
Wednesday:
Left overs
Thursday:
Chili & Cinnamon Rolls
The basic Chili recipe I follow is:
- 2-3 lbs of meat this time I wanted to make extra so I used 2 lbs ground beef and 1 lb of ground pork (you can also use bison, bacon, or steak)
- 1/2 yellow onion & clove of garlic (diced)
- 2 cans of tomato sauce
- 1 can of tomatoes
- 2 cans of beans (I used chili & black beans)
- spices- a mixture of chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt & pepper.
Heat pan with olive oil & sauté diced onion and garlic
Add ground beef and pork until cooked through
Add beans, sauce, tomatoes, & spices
If you can, put all in a crockpot and let it all cook together for several hours
Friday:
Out to eat
Saturday:
Hamburgers & Brussel Sprouts
Brussel Sprout Recipe~
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
If you have large brussel sprouts, cut in half. Put them on a cookie sheet & drizzle olive oil over & sprinkle with salt
Roast them for anywhere from 20-40 minutes depending on the size. You want them to be crispy and slightly browned, but watch them because they can go from perfect to burnt to a crisp quickly!
While they are roasting, make the sauce-
2 TBLHoney, 1 tsp Sriracha & a splash of lime juice
Once they are done, let them cool slightly. Then add some more salt to taste.
Sunday:

- Tomatoes
- Feta cheese

Do you need a sweet treat you don’t have to feel guilty about? I tried these cookies this past week & they were a hit!
- 4 ounces almond milk cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup melted ghee
- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons cassava flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chunks
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add the melted ghee, maple sugar, vanilla extract and egg and beat until smooth and pale in color.
- With the hand mixer on, slowly add the cassava flour until combine, then add baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until combine. Lastly, fold in chocolate chunks.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop out 14-16 cookies and place on the baking sheet evenly throughout.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Let rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before placing on a cooling rack. Then eat ‘em up!
