Intentions for the Week- Week 43  in 2021

​​Happy Monday, friends!
 
We got a ton of rain (and flooding!) here in the Bay Area. We sure do need it. But we also have a roof that’s leaking so life is getting exciting here. I did some art with a friend, cleaned the house, caught up on laundry, and did some meal prep.

Artichoke Egg Bites

My Mom’s artichoke squares were always part of our Thanksgiving holiday and with her not around, I don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving to make them. I want them year-round!!  With a little tinkering, Artichoke Egg Bites are going to be in my meal prep arsenal for sure now!

Look!!!  A quick breakfast solution.

Pop two in an English muffin and you have an instant breakfast sandwich.   I personally like to eat them cold.  They make wonderful protein packed snacks too.
