After seeing these little 'White Castle' burgers HERE and HERE last week I just had to give them a try this weekend.
Not very 'healthy lifestyle' friendly really but I only had 2 so I think after a week of eating well they were a well deserved treat. Thankfully Jason ate the rest of them over the weekend. I won't make these often, but they are a great little party platter, so next time we have a get together with our neighbors I think I'll make more.
I have made my Menu Plan again for this week. I didn't get it done before my grocery shop on Friday but I know what's in my freezer and pantry, so this is what I've come up with....(bearing in mind I'm still counting points and trying to eat healthy options)
Monday: Enchilada Casserole w/salad (I calculated the points per serving for this and it's only 7pts)
Tuesday: Chicken Tenders w/mashed potatoes and green beans (w/salad for me)
Wednesday: Chicken Taco Chili w/rice (I don't want things left in the freezer for too long so we're having this again this week).
Thursday: This is piano day and we don't get back home til 5.30pm so I'm just gonna do us a quick 'frozen' meal from the freezer (probably a Smart Ones for me)
Friday: Chili Cheese Fries w/salad (I don't want to feel like I'm eating diet food all the time, so these will be another yummy 'low fat' treat).
Saturday: ??? can't think what to have yet!
Sunday: Spaghetti and meatballs (our family favorite)
It's a no school day today for MLK day. I didn't get out of bed til 8.45am this morning! Feeling rather lazy because of it too. It's already 11.30am and all I've done is put the dish washer on and a load of laundry, and if I'm honest I don't plan on doing much more than that either. It feels like another Sunday so I'm going to indulge in it and be lazy ;-) I did make the effort to get out of my pj's though and get dressed

Denise, enjoy your day! The weeks menu looks pretty tasty. Chili Cheese Fries... yum! ~ Sarah
Hi Denise,
I totally missed the fact that it's MLK day since I'm here in the U.K. I haven't been on the computer at all today so I missed that little important date. With that said, I hope you are having a lovely day off.
Your menu plan sounds really good. Have a great week!
Carol
It all sounds delcious and healthy Denise!
Have a nice day off. ~Melissa :)
Hi Denise! I think White Castle is an east coast thing altho our Costco carries them in their freezer section. We also call the little burgers "sliders." They have them at Cheesecake Factory. Believe it or not, if I could only eat one thing over and over it would be a good hamburger... yet I rarely have them because they're not all that healthy. :) Have a great rest of the week! (((Hugz)))
I didn't get out of my pj's until 2pm until I took Caden to get a haircut. I didn't get much done either. I spray painted some baskets but that's it. The weather is dreary and it is making my mood low. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Oh, those look so good! I remember when there was a "White Castle" on Guadalupe, down by UT - a looooong time ago ;-). All things in moderation, right? Can you tell I'm Methodist ;-)?
Blessings,

P.S. The multi colored cowl is now in my Ravelry projects. Thanks for asking!
