Intentions for the Week- Week 7 in 2022

Happy Valentine’s Day! <3

Yes, I caught the half-time show at the Super Bowl and YES I LOVED IT. Hooray for growing up in the 90s.  This weekend Cooper had a baseball tournament, I had dinner at a friend’s house and caught up on housework and meal prep.

All of my currently workbooks stacked.

White Chocolate Mousse

White Chocolate Mousse combines fresh whipping cream with melted white chocolate for a sweet treat! Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

I had a bunch of leftover white chocolate in my pantry from the holiday truffle escapade I had, so I put them to good use with this White Chocolate Mousse situation. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

This simple dessert has three ingredients if you don’t include raspberries.

Melted white chocolate gets folded into whipped cream and chilled for a bit in the fridge.  It kinda tasted like whipped cream with a bit of sweetened condensed milk (MY FAVE!).

We had ours on a weeknight last week and my family wondered what the special occasion was. I love how something so simple can be considered special. White Chocolate Mousse has the power to make an exhausting Monday into a real treat.

Intentions for the Week- Week 6 in 2022

​​Happy Monday, friends!
 
This weekend, we had some good family time, Cooper had some baseball practices, a basketball game (they won!), a baseball tryout, meal prep and house stuff. 
I started working through my food journal last week. I found myself not really hungry every morning last week so I ended up having a big lunch every day. I guess I ended up doing intermittent fasting. 

Here’s my Meal Prep this week:
