Okay, how can Thanksgiving possibly be next week? It’s crazy. The fact that the weather the past few days has been in the 60s and 70s probably doesn’t help me having a hard time wrapping my brain around it. Not complaining though. I’ll take any days I can of being able to sit out in the backyard holding the baby while watching my very active daughter burn off some energy.
I made a from scratch version of one of my family’s favorite desserts growing up, Mississippi Mud Pie. It was oh so good but I need to tweak the pudding a touch before I post the recipe. Let’s just say it didn’t set up quite enough to hold its shape.
Breakfasts:
- Oatmeal
- Smoothies
- Pancakes
Lunches:
- Pizza
- Apple Pancakes (recipe coming Friday)
- Sweet Potatoes
- Salad
Suppers:
- Taco night at a friends’ house
Chicken Gravy over potatoes (was going for chicken ala king type of dish using biscuits, but then potatoes were on sale and easier to bake than biscuits so I decided to do it that way)Scratch that. Friends invited us over.- Pizza
- Salads
Snacks:
- Bananas, apples, grapes
- Muffins
Goals:
- Reading. Finish Sally Clarkson’s 10 Gifts of Wisdom
and Crystal Paine’s new book, Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life
, that’s being released in January. Made good progress on both of these last week. (Amazon affiliate links)
- Running. Would like to get 2 times in. (More would be great, but I’m not going to push it.)
- Spend time in the Bible each morning (My previous study just ended so I don’t have a structured one until the Advent study starts.)
- Flesh out December’s posting schedule
- Cook and puree a pumpkin
Linking up to Menu Plan Monday
Your Mississippi Mud pie looks yummy to me! We’ve never made that before. Now I’m craving some chocolate!
It is super good! We had it on a family vacation when I was young and it became a yearly birthday dessert for many of my siblings. Shortbread type crust, cream cheese and whipped cream layer, pudding layer, topped with whipped cream! Yum!
The Mississippi Mud Pie looks delicious. Looking forward to you sharing it when your ready.
It is super good! Several of my siblings have it every year for their birthday.
I enjoy reading your weekly goals. They keep me planning and focused on my own. And I think the mud pie looked good too!
Thanks! The goals help me a lot. I probably should get more focused with them and break them down like Monday Saving Mom does, but this works in the meantime. 🙂 Oh my goodness, it is soooo good! I’m going to try making it again this weekend.
