November 2021 Weekly Meal Plans

Hi dear readers.  I mentioned last month that Fall is my favorite season. I love that it leads right on into one of my favorite holidays. I look forward to Thanksgiving and the start of the Christmas season right afterward. Can y’all believe my hubby won’t let us sing any Christmas tunes until Thanksgiving has come? LOL 😁

Well, I have some news. My husband has joined me on the OMAD (One Meal A Day) train. He got used to eating 2MAD (2 Meals A Day) and wanted to finish the rest of the year doing OMAD with me. We’re both losing more weight and feel great. I have had to go down in dress, shirt, and pants size again since April. Say what???

I bought some new cookbooks at the store to help with the way we eat now. Keto foods are very tasty and don't make us feel like we don't have a lot of food variety. In the pic, you see 4 of the 6 that I purchased. They were marked down to under $5-$10 each. I found these Keto cookbooks on sale and had to have them. They will come in handy for the upcoming holidays so we don’t eat anything that will cause us to jeopardize our weight loss progress. Well, let’s get on to the meals. Here is a quick view into next month’s menu plans:

Breakfast- for my son only
Boiled eggs with bacon or sausage links
Steel Cut Oats and boiled eggs
Homemade Mc Griddles (with eggs, cheese, and bacon, ham, or sausage patties)
Mini waffle breakfast sandwiches (with eggs, cheese, and ham or sausage patties)

Lunch-
Meatball Egg Drop Soup 
Pulled Pork BBQ Pizza
Spaghetti (w/Zoodles and homemade meat pasta sauce)
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (Keto)

Dinner-
Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers(Keto)
Chuck Roast or Pork Chops
Seafood Chowder
Keto Pizza Casserole

***If you missed it, here is a look back at the monthly menu from November 2020. Looking back I notice how the way we eat has drastically changed.

The Simple Woman {Oct. 2021}

For Today: 10/5/21

_____________________________

Looking out my window

Leaves are starting to cover the ground. Outside there’s a slight breeze, we have scattered clouds, but it feels nice. Today’s high is 78 degrees.

I am thinking

About all the things we’re facing in these troubling times. My heart aches to see the division running rampant in the body of Christ over such things :(

I am thankful

To be able to enjoy another Fall season.

One of my favorite things

I love this picture of a tree in our town from a few years ago. It’s one of the many things I love about Autumn.

I am creating

A “TO DO LIST” of some things I want to work on around the house.

I am wearing

A rose print dress and flip-flops.

I am reading

Father God’s Holy Word. I’m participating in the Psalm 119 online ladies Bible Study.

I’m watching

I have been catching up on some Clutterbug YouTube videos.

I am hoping

By some miracle to not have to deal with suffering from bad allergy headaches this year. Haha…It’s okay to wish sometimes right?

I am learning

To be okay with a head full of gray hairs. It's like I see more gray patches every few months when I'm looking in the mirror. I know...maybe I'm getting wiser *wink *wink

In my kitchen

I have been making homemade mayo for a few years now. I like the taste much better than any I buy at the store. Maybe because I actually know what’s in it. Here’s a recipe I use:

1 Large whole Pasture-Raised egg ( or 2 Egg Yolks)

1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard

1 Tbsp. White Wine Vinegar

2 tsp. Lemon Juice

1/2 tsp. Sea Salt

1/4 tsp. White Pepper

1 cup Avocado Oil (or any neutral tasting oil)

I use up to a quart-size wide mouth Mason jar to add everything but the oil. Then I take my handheld stick (Emersion) blender to blend everything in the jar. Last I slowly add the oil and pulse up and down to get it to a thicker consistency that resembles mayo. It lasts a few weeks in the fridge if I even have it that long. LOL

Post Script

  Last month I watched a week of "Get Organized HQ". I learned so much. While going through the website last week, I came across something interesting. I love this idea of organizing small things with photo boxes.

Shared Quote

“It is not the absence of sin, but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.”

A moment from my day

Just a day of decluttering and keeping the home :-)
