Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 43 in 2021

Happy Monday, friends!

We got a ton of rain (and flooding!) here in the Bay Area. We sure do need it. But we also have a roof that’s leaking so life is getting exciting here. I did some art with a friend, cleaned the house, caught up on laundry, and did some meal prep.

My Everyday Life Week 42

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 42

We got rain in Northern California. OH MY GOODNESS.

What a delight to see droplets of water on everything!

Bits of the sun in between rain. The shadows are changing this time of year.

Meal prep in progress.

Pumpkin Hippy Bread turned into muffins and they were so good. I baked them for about 18 minutes

Artichoke Egg Bites

My Mom’s artichoke squares were always part of our Thanksgiving holiday and with her not around, I don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving to make them. I want them year-round!! With a little tinkering, Artichoke Egg Bites are going to be in my meal prep arsenal for sure now!

Look!!! A quick breakfast solution.

Egg muffins filled with chopped artichoke hearts, cheese, and onions.

Pop two in an English muffin and you have an instant breakfast sandwich. I personally like to eat them cold. They make wonderful protein packed snacks too.
