Roasted Seaweed Snack Ideas
After staying at home with my little family for almost six months, I’ve turned into quite a snack master. How about you?
My goal is always to give Cooper a well-rounded diet, and as a picky eater, I am so glad he loves roasted seaweed snacks. It’s an easy way to get vitamins and minerals into his growing body!
Intentions for the Week
Intentions for the Week – Week 35 of 2020
Happy Monday, friends!
This weekend flew right by. I did a massive purge of stuff in my office this weekend and went through my bedroom closet too and packed some things up to go. It feels good to let parts of the old me go. BYEEEEEE. It was a great way to channel my stress with the fires around here.
It’s Sunday as I type this. Tomorrow is Cooper’s first day of school! He will be doing distanced learning through a computer for the next few months. PRAY FOR US. It’s going to be a wild ride! This week we are getting settled into a new school routine, which means I might have some energy to do some meal prep to make life a bit easier. Whatever helps! Anyways, let’s get to it. These are my Intentions for the Week.

Happy Birthday to meeeeee!

All I wanted for my birthday was a day adventure with art and I got what I wanted!

The weather was perfect on the water. It was so hot inland.

Instant Pot Saffron Risotto
Risotto isn’t really something I make at home. I mean, I’ve made it but it’s not a regular thing. Mostly because I have no time to stand around a pot of risotto, stirring constantly for 30+ minutes.
Do you know how easily distracted I am??
I also don’t make it because Cooper has no interest, so standing over a pot for 30 minutes reaaaaaaally doesn’t seem worth it, you know? I spied this Instant Pot Saffron Risotto from Dinner in an Instant
I’m trying to add some things to the mix to
SHAKE
THINGS
UP
in the food department. Cooking so much for my family during quarantine has taken a toll!
It tastes like the risotto I used to order as a kid when my Dad took us out to our local Italian restaurant.
It’s creamy. It’s light. It has so much flavor, WOW! Casey and I enjoyed some together for lunch during the week.
If only my Italian grandma was around to see this miracle. I’m sure she would have served it with Osso Bucco.
I think it would be good companion to my chicken piccata, lemon garlic shrimp, or baked chicken parmesan.
Welcome to the rotation, Instant Pot
