[Music] well hello and welcome back to my channel where I am documenting my health journey to to lose around 20 lb hopefully uh before my daughter’s wedding in September and this video is going to be a weekend Vlog so when I last left you it was Mike’s birthday it was his 60th birthday and his celebration just keeps going and going so last night we went out to dinner and then to the House of Blues um we went out to dinner and Mike was surprised because one of his best friends flew in from Florida so he was really surprised and Mike and his best friend Bill worked together and one of their employes is also in a band he does a ban Joi tribute band and he does a band called pet the cougar which is Tom Petty and John Cougar melon camp and so um we had a great time last night and then I got up this morning and I had to place a Walmart order so let me tell you what’s going on this weekend it’s quite busy I don’t like my weekends this busy but today um I’m going to run out to Sam’s Club after I show you my little mini Walmart haul because my daughter’s bridal shower is tomorrow and I have to make two breakfast casseroles and I make these like every Christmas and they’re so easy and they are so good so I will show you exactly how I make it and that is why I had to get the Walmart grocery order so I’m going to show you that in a second um but then I’m going to come back and I’m going to get ready again now now Mike knows that we are all going to a restaurant in Cleveland called Shooters it’s right on the water it’s really fun they often have live music um so he knows we’re going to dinner at 6 o00 what he doesn’t know is Bill booked a tiki cruise ship so we leave at 8:30 p.m. and go out for a 2hour cruise yes lots of Gilligan references but um so and he has about 20 of Mike’s friends and uh family so it should be really fun but then I’ve got to get home get some sleep get up make my breakfast casseroles and get to Mandy’s shower which I will show you what I’m wearing to her shower and I’ll show you a little bit of the shower all right let me get back to do my Walmart grocery haul now mind you it’s a very small haul mainly to get the ingredients for my breakfast casserole so let me tell you what those ingredients are now the base of the casserole is um a can of these biscuits and what you do is you divide each biscuit into six like little six triangles and you put that in the bottom of a nice by 13 in greased baking pan and then you brown up some breakfast sausage now I always make mine with this turkey sausage it saves some fat and you cannot tell the difference and what I’m telling you is for one 9×13 in casserole I’m actually going to be making two so Brown this and then you sprinkle that on top of the uh biscuit pieces and then you put some cheese on there so I got some mild cheddar cheese it calls for 1 and 1/2 cups this is about 2 cups so I’ll divide this um because you put some there and then you put some on top when you add the eggs so then you whip up six large eggs with half a cup of milk so um how I’m going to do this and how I’m going to prep for this because you can prep prior to baking it and I like to do it the night before but since I’m going to be gone tonight I’m going to do that before I leave for Mike’s second surprise party so what what I’m going to do is I’m going to Brown up the sausage I got two of them um and I’m going to cut up the biscuits into sixs and I’m going to put them in separate containers so that in the morning all I have to do is put them together and then add the eggs so then you bake it for about half an hour on 375 I believe but double check because I’m going to link the recipe in the description box below and I highly recommend this casserole if you like biscuit egg and cheese and sausage breakfast sandwiches you will love this casserole and what I’m going to put the casserole in I have some 9 by 13in pans but what I didn’t have was this insulated case so I got this on Amazon it’s anchor Hawking it comes with um a 9 by 13in casserole d FH and a lid to go on it and it also comes with this hot and cold pack so you can heat this up or you can freeze it um obviously I’m going to want to heat it up and then you put that in this insulated container with the uh casserole and it’s easy for transport now unfortunately I only have one of these um my best friend Gina is coming tonight to Mike’s surprise party so um she has another insulated um carrier so hopefully I will be able to grab that um now I am starting this video at about 1:16 p.m. I have had my first meal of the day around noon and what I had was a piece of uh Dave’s Killer Bread toasted with some fresh avocado and a hard-boiled egg very simple very good I didn’t film it because I wanted to do this intro and obviously Mike was here for a little while and I didn’t want him to know about his surprise party so what else did I get at Walmart so I got the stuff for my casserole and then I got some other items that I just was running low on and um I got some more uh Veranda blend now I have an espresso machine and I make my own Nespresso pods and I’ve shown that in a couple of my videos but I’ll have to show that again cuz I’m running low so I have to make more Nespresso pods and then speaking of coffee I got my favorite creamer now my son and I both love this zero sugar creamer the uh Italian sweet cream it’s so good and it just needs a little bit and then I don’t need any sweetener or anything because it’s sweet enough and let’s see what else I picked up uh some more cottage cheese because I have been having a lot of this as I am trying to up my protein intake and I also picked up some reduced fat Fiesta blend cheese just to have for recipes and then so on this Tiki boat you’re allowed to bring your own Beverages and snacks so I picked up a little four pack of Peno ggio I’m going to put that in a little cooler and I picked up some um pepper jack cubes and some of these Triscuit thin crisps I don’t know if you guys have tried these but these are really good if you like Triscuits you’ll love these little thin crisps so that’s what I’m going to bring for snacks I have some grapes and I have some pepperoni and but we’re going to have dinner so I don’t think anybody’s going to be super hungry but that is what I’m going to bring for the boat and the other things I got at Walmart I have been wanting to make a quinoa bowl and I thought I had some but I couldn’t find it so I picked up some white quinoa and I picked up a couple four packs of Premier Protein now I still have the Fairlife Chocolate but I was telling you guys in a previous video that my favorite Premier Protein is the chocolate peanut butter so I picked up a four pack at Walmart and then I also picked up a four pack of the Premier Protein vanilla because I can use this in coffee and and in the shake that I make with the frozen strawberries um I would just probably put a container of this in with five or six frozen strawberries and blend it up um so I got that and last but not least I got Michael some of his favorite Pop-Tarts which is the cookies and cream okay so I’m GNA put this away and then I’m gonna head to Sam’s Club at Sam’s Club I’m going to pick up a big thing of cookies for the shower I’m not sure if I should get one or two of them I think there’s going to be about 50 or 60 people so I don’t know I’ll have to see but I’m going to head out there and I’ll take you along with [Music] me okay so I’m back from doing all of my running around as you saw I went to Sam’s Club and I’m going to show you um what I got I went there primarily to pick up some cookies for Mandy’s shower tomorrow she is expecting about 60 people so I got two big things from Sam’s Club now these are um oatmeal chocolate chip lemon blueberry strawberries and cream lime shortbread and peanut butter cup don’t those look good and then these are um I don’t think they have it listed on top but obviously we’ve got some chocolate chunk cookies some M&M cookies it looks like some white macadamia nut cookies and some regular chocolate chip and possibly oatmeal so so I got those all set for the cookies um now if you watched my previous videos you know that I bought a set of skirts for Niagara Falls and I absolutely love them as a matter of fact I’m wearing my white ones tonight and I love them so much I got another pair in Black from Amazon now these skirs were $30 and I found them at Sam’s Club for $12.98 so I grabbed um I already have the white and black so this is like a like a slate blue and I got some crap on it uh-oh anyway um I just love these Squirts and it makes me so mad that they were less than half the price of what I spent on Amazon okay if you saw my last Sam’s Club haul um you know that I bought Mike some steak strips for his birthday cuz he really likes jerky and we were blown away with how good these are so on the surprise Tiki boat ride tonight we’re allowed to bring snacks so I picked up a bag um actually I picked up two bags because I got one for Mike um it’s the birthday that keeps on giving so um so anyways I’m going to pack that and then Mike also loves cherries and um they had them at Sam’s in this big thing so I’m going to bring about half of these um cuz it’s a pretty big container um tonight um as our snacks and I also picked up some blue blueberries now these are just for me and Michael if he want some but I got that and last but not least um we have an intern at work such a cute girl so smart um but anyway she was telling me about these pillows at Sam’s Club um she just graduated from college and she’s going to do a year of service um with americore as she’s going to go down to Columbia South Carolina and teach and so she’s Furnishing her apartment and she told me that the pillows she said the best pillows in the world she got at Sam’s Club it’s these Hotel pillows and I am always looking for a good pillow and so I got this double pack it was only like $7.98 and they seem really nice I’m you know you can’t see what I’m doing but they’re really they’re really soft so I’m excited I’ll um probably put those on the bed tonight okay so for the rest of my afternoon I still haven’t eaten anything um I am going to have a uh Premier Protein I stuck one of the chocolate peanut butter ones in the fridge before I left so um this should be pretty cold by now so I’m going to have that and I am going to Brown my turkey sausage and cut up my biscuits so I will have that all done in the morning and I can just assemble everything whip up my six eggs with the half2 cup of milk and put my cheese on there and throw them in the oven so I will show you a little bit of how I am prepping the um biscuits and cooking the sausage and then I’m going to put those in um just some containers and stick them in the fridge and then they’ll be ready tomorrow when I go to put my casseres together and my last bit of running around I uh stopped at my friend Gina’s house and picked up her insulated 9 by3 in so now I have two and hopefully that will keep the casseres warm um because I’m supposed to go there tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. but the shower doesn’t actually start until 1 p.m. so I’m not really sure how they’re going to stay warm but I suppose we’ll figure it out I just um texted Mandy’s bridesmaid who kind of organized everything to see if she knew if the hall had a stove but we will see okay I am going to drink my shake and do my little bit of prep work and then I will get ready for my fun night out

  1. That tiki cruise looked fun! And when I saw Gina, I thought to myself: I like that woman in the flamingo top 😀.
    I prefer low-key weekends too. Even though busy weekends are often a great time, they can feel overwhelming.
    My favorite recipes are usually the easiest with the least amount of stress. I make a macaroni salad with red peppers, carrots, bacon bits and a mixture of 1000 Island dressing, mayo and milk.
    Mandy's shower was so well-done, and I loved the ornament.
    How old is Michael? My husband loves that same creamer.
    Sending hugs to you on your biopsy day.

  2. I make my own Nespresso pods, too! I bought reusable pods off amazon and foil recaps. Saves so much $$$. Occasionally, when there is a new flavour, I will purchase official pods.

  3. What a busy weekend, looks like you all had fun! Sending good vibes to you for your biopsy, hope it all goes well. My favourite recipe is very simple, love steak and salad with baked potato or roast lamb. Have a great week x

  4. Wow Michelle… You had a very exciting (and exhausting) weekend all at the same time! Mike 60th birthday celebration looked very fun, and Mandy’s shower looked beautiful. By the time you’re reading this, you will have your biopsy completed and waiting for the results; so I am sending big hugs and lots of good wishes (and prayers) that everything comes back okay. 💗💙🙏🏻
