Intentions for the Week- Week 22 in 2024

Hi hiiiiii! It’s Monday! Did you have a good weekend?  

Casey came home! He was gone for 13 days for work and WHEW! I am so glad to have him back. He and Cooper headed to a baseball scrimmage and I had the house to myself. I did a bunch of cleaning, had an art date on the deck, did some gardening, took a hike, hosted Self-Check-In, and relaxed. The school year is winding down and OH BOY it’s about to get real crazy. I didn’t do meal prep this week. Hopefully, I can fit some in tomorrow.

Sweet Potato Cornbread

Sweet Potato Cornbread is slightly sweet and perfect paired with honey butter. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

This Sweet Potato Cornbread came to be because:

  1. I had too many sweet potatoes (I’m the only one who likes them in my house!)
  2. I got distracted looking at an old Cook’s Illustrated issue while sorting a paper pile
  3. I was tired of sorting paper so making a mess in the kitchen seemed like a good idea–plus I had all of the ingredients and wanted to test out Trader Joe’s gluten-free flour mix.

Sweet Potato Cornbread is slightly sweet and perfect paired with honey butter. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

I like the way the sweet potatoes add a little sweetness to the cornbread and look at that nice orange hue!

My preference is having a hunk of the Sweet Potato Cornbread with a big smear of butter on top. I’ll definitely be making this during Thanksgiving time later this  year! 

Your breakfast life just got more exciting!
