Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 51 in 2025

Hello! Week 51 How doing? How was your weekend? Mine was full of house chores, holiday decorating, a holiday market, a visit with friends, a fun family dinner, couch cuddling, movie night, self-check-in, a yoga/dance class, packing orders, and a good NAP! I stayed under my heated throw blanket most of the weekend because it’s COLD here.

Cranberry Orange Cobbler

Another December, and I have cranberries leftover in my fridge from Thanksgiving.

It’s almost like I’ve done it on purpose…

This year, we have Cranberry Orange Cobbler to the rescue! In the past, I’ve made Cranberry Ginger Shrub, Cranberry Cheese Danishes, and Cranberry Rosemary Bars with my “accidental” leftover cranberries.

This year, I combined half a bag of leftover cranberries with a few rogue mandarin oranges from my fridge, and ended up with the easiest, most rewarding dessert, snack, or breakfast.

If you’re on the gluten-free track like I am, use your favorite gluten-free flour for this. (I’ve been using Bob’s Redmill).

Maybe I’ll buy more cranberries so I can make my Mom’s Cranberry Nut Bread this winter season. Stay tuned!

Intentions for the Week- Week 50 in 2025

Hello! Week 50 How doing? How was your weekend? Mine was full of decorating. We made mushroom risotto and played around with gelatin. Went on a long walk, did some errands, watched movies, and caught up on work. I cleaned out my fridge and planned some meals for the beginning of the week. I have a bunch of orders to send out from my Etsy shop today. THANK YOU!! I am excited to see how my workbooks help you be more intentional about your everyday life next year.
