Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Happy Monday, friends!

We are on week 43 of 2019. Here’s what week 43 looked like last year.

I spent the weekend off the grid with my friend Emma at an Equus Horse Therapy workshop. It was life-changing and I cannot wait to tell you more about it soon as I go through my photos and notes.  It’s Sunday night and I’m exhausted, but here I am showing up for my Intentions for the Week! Thanks for holding me accountable to this practice throughout the years!

Green Tea Ice Cream

I don’t understand my child and his tastebuds. He won’t eat things like macaroni & cheese, any potato that isn’t a french fry or tater tot, nachos,  dutch baby pancakes, EGGS any way, cornbread, biscuits, sweet potatoes, you name it.  On the flipside, he loves anything with buffalo wing sauce on it (even tacos!)  and one of his favorite ice cream flavors is Green Tea Ice Cream.  The only real love we share is bread and crackers. So, I guess we have that going for us. Still I have no idea why he thinks biscuits are terrible. I am hoping he’ll outgrow that one day. 

It’s Cooper’s birthday month (he’s now 11!) and I made him his favorite ice cream to celebrate. I thought I’d shake things up a bit!

We had some matcha twix leftover from our trip to Japantown so we crumbled some on top.

This recipe is from The Kitchn Cookbook (one of my favorites!). It’s a very simple recipe and I love that it uses a bit of cream cheese in the recipe. I’ve done that technique with my pumpkin ice cream!  The texture is light, slightly chewy and every bite is perfumed with matcha!  

Maybe you’ll convince a picky eaty to expand their tastebuds with this Green Tea Ice Cream recipe?

Maybe you just love green tea ice cream or have some matcha hanging around with no purpose? 

Make it, report back!

Happy Monday, friends!

We are on week 42 of 2019!  Here’s what Week 42 looked like last year.  I’m writing this from Idaho. We’ve had a wonderful time with family here.

This week we have some unpacking to do from our trip. I have to get my house back into shape. I’ve got company this weekend and a bunch of work to do. Right now I’m ready to focus on my Intentions for the Week. Here they are!
