Intentions for the Week- Week 38 in 2022

Hello, MONDAY! 

I can’t believe it’s week 38. Geez. This weekend I cleaned house with the family, went to a joint birthday party, did more cleaning, hung out a little bit with my Dad, and ENJOYED THE RAIN!  I also read, worked out, and rested. Oh! It’s raining here and I am quite happy about that.  My trees need it.  We transition into Autumn this week and sweater weather is just around the corner. This is one of my favorite seasons. 

Anywho…here are my Intentions for the week! CONTINUE READING

Falafel Crusted Shrimp

Falafel Crusted Shrimp can be made with simple ingredients from #traderjoes See how it's done on Shutterbean.com

Consider this your warning that I am on shrimp kick. We had my mom’s Spanish Garlic Shrimp recently and now Falafel Crusted Shrimp has made its way into the meal arsenal.  It’s shrimp fest in the Benjamin household.

Falafel Crusted Shrimp can be made with simple ingredients from #traderjoes See how it's done on Shutterbean.com

 I had Falafel mix from Trader Joe’s sitting in my pantry and I saw this recipe in an old Everyday Food Magazine (my precious) and thought I’d give it a whirl.

This Falafel Crusted Shrimp can turn into a choose-your-own-adventure meal. My family would pick a pita/rice option with a cucumber salad (that I’d make them eat) and I’m in the salad camp.  Maybe shrimp and yogurt dip is enough?  As I said, choose your own adventure.

Intentions for the Week- Week 37 in 2022

Hello, MONDAY! 

Thanks for your well wishes last week. We survived COVID here.  I’m testing negative and so are Cooper and Casey. YAY. We only made it one full week of school before this all happened.  Keeping a VERY ACTIVE child at home (occupied) and distancing was especially hard. I am giving myself a gold star for that. 

I did some meal prep this weekend!  Here she is!

I spent a lot of time in my office this week. Both Casey and Cooper had COVID so I kept my distance so I wouldn’t get it too. 

So far so good. Cooper is now testing negative. YAY.
