Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 47 in 2023

Happy Monday, friends!

We are visiting family this week for Thanksgiving. It’s also my Mom’s 6-year death anniversary. I always take some time to look through week 47 from 2017. I am glad that I have kept up My Everyday Life since 2011 because I can access old feelings and times. It helps me process hard feelings and emotions. Anyways, thank you so much for your support over the years.

Let’s get into it! Here are my Intentions for the Week.

Cheesy Mushroom Baked Pumpkin

This Cheesy Mushroom Baked Pumpkin recipe has been the marker of cozy season for us thanks to my friend Neiley. The way it goes is that she invites us over for Halloween, we hang out at her front doorstep and pass out candy while her house fills with the smell of this mushroom dip. We’re wrapped in blankets, we make note of the best costumes and then we take turns walking into her house to get our fill on this dip. The men go in. Then us women. Then Neiley goes outside to continue passing out candy and then it’s just me and the men standing around taking turns spooning out mushroom goodness from a baked pumpkin.

It’s comforting. It’s warm. It’s so full of flavor. It’s like concentrated creamy mushroom soup on a crostini!

I am obsessed.

I would say I love the Halloween tradition of seeing kids in their costumes, but it’s really about this Cheesy Mushroom Baked Pumpkin.

I love when we get to the end and we can start scraping the pumpkin innards to mix with the mushroom dip! DIVINE.

Intentions for the Week- Week 46 in 2023

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend I went on a few adventures. Two grocery visits (Ranch 99 and Cardena’s), dropped off 7 bags of donations at Goodwill, made some art, and did meal prep! I’ve been showing a more in-depth approach to meal prep for my Instagram subscribers for the past month. Sign up through Instagram if you wanna see how I do it.

Let’s get into it! Here are my Intentions for the Week.
