Fennel Celery Salad

Fennel Celery Salad is a great salad for your meal prep. This crunchy salad holds up for days. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

I just added this Fennel Celery Salad to my meal prep arsenal because it holds even after a few days of sitting in the fridge. Now there’s really no excuse for me to not eat salad throughout the week. It also makes a great snack salad. Something you can pull out at 4pm when dinner feels so far away and YOU NEED SOMETHING NOW.

Intentions for the Week- Week 4 in 2022

​​Happy Monday, friends!
 
It’s Sunday night. I just did meal prep. I have to feed my family dinner in a second but I’m sitting here at the kitchen table on my laptop writing down my Intentions for the Week. We had a nice weekend. I went for a hike with my brother, attended Cooper’s basketball game, did meal prep, had an art date with Neiley (I worked on my Currently Workbook!).  The weather was beautiful here and I was able to spend some time working in the yard.  It got me excited about the spring!

Let’s figure out what our Intentions for the Week are!

Bean and Cheese Taquitos

Bean and Cheese Taquitos are a simple vegetarian meal to whip up! Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

The other night I was home alone, with no one to feed but myself so I made some Bean and Cheese Taquitos and ate them on the couch in peace. Only one of my cats harassed me so I consider that an introvert Mom WIN.

Making homemade taquitos is an easy thing to do and I don’t know why I don’t do it more often since we always have a can of beans, shredded cheese,  and some corn tortillas to use up (my child LOVES tacos!).
