Currently June 2021

June means no school!!!!! SUMMER BREAK, BABY! Cooper’s been at home with us for the past few weeks and we’ve been busy! We spent a lot of the month doing baseball things. Cooper’s on two teams. A travel team and the All-Star team. This month I volunteered time with Casey to clean out our little league’s snack shack, stock it and run it.

It has been fun making magic in our community. People are so glad to have the snack shack back at baseball games. Life feels like it’s starting to get back to normal…

Here’s a blast from the past:

Mushroom Rice Pilaf

If my Mom was hosting a party where anyone vegan (my brother) or vegetarian (my niece) was in attendance, her Mushroom Rice Pilaf would be on the menu with some type of faux meat to grill. For us meat eaters, she served the rice with a grilled London broil or some type of flank steak situation. There were almost always some sauteed green beans alongside the mix in addition to her green salad to make it a well-rounded meal.

She always made the mushroom part ahead of time and left it covered on the stove while she ran around and did everything else. Making it in my childhood kitchen this week brought me right back to my childhood.

The wild rice makes it nutty! The teriyaki flavors the rice and the mushrooms. It’s hearty enough to have as a main dish if you feel so inclined. Now my niece & brother have this recipe to make my Mom’s magic in the kitchen! YAY.

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 26 in 2021

Happy Monday friends!

We had quite a weekend with our first All-star game win. Cooper pitched! We hung out with friends, went to a baseball team party I went on a bender trimming old branches off of trees on the hill. It’s Sunday night. I’m full of sun and sleepy but I am going to figure out what my Intentions for the Week are. Let’s GO!
