Mizzy’s Weekly Menu: What I’m Cooking & Loving
I truly enjoy the world of creating food that is good for the soul and nourishing for the body. From weekly meal prep to delicious desserts, cleaning hacks, travel prep and so much more... I am diving in full force, talking about all the things I do to run and keep a balanced household.
Ooooo I am finally getting it together! Day by day I morph into the Mizzy I missed! Finding my creativity in the kitchen again has really made my heart happy. My goal is to fully meal plan by creating a menu & shopping list, executing fully with little to no excess. This time next month, I am sure I will be very happy with my progress!
This week on the menu was easy, Pumpkin muffins and Chili. We invited the in-laws dinner, so with the cold weather upon us, I thought that was the most comforting meal to launch the season. Both recipes are absolutely delicious and so easy.
Having the mindset of cooking & entertaining on a budget, I was really thoughtful when it came to creating a dessert for the family dinner. I remembered I just froze the muffins and I had small vanilla ice cream cups on hand. Boom! Let's do something with this .... So I cut the frozen muffins in half. Placed the bottom as the base in the mug, popped the vanilla ice cream in the middle and placed the muffin top to cover the ice cream. It was the cutest dessert ever with a little whip cream on top!

The Entertainment Scoop & TV Reviews
From binge watching shows to the bla shows. I'll give you the scoop on what we are watching in the Mindbender household.
This week on Netflix I watched - I Just Killed My Dad
This was such an insane story as well as heartbreaking. When ever I see parents doing things directly to their children, it breaks my heart. Of course I don't want to see anything bad happen to anyone, but parents are supposed to protect their children. I could not imagine the level of isolation this child had to put himself in just to survive. If you like documentaries. I highly suggest this one.

I am officially off the Lexapro for 1 week. OMG - what a fucking process. The mental fuck you go through while coming off is a lot to handle. I am not going to lie. There were some days where it was even too much for me. I could feel the venom I was spitting. I could feel the streams of water pouring from my soul. It was a wild roller coaster that I was not prepared for. I knew it was going to be hard, but I did not know what the hard would be.
I want to make it very clear that I am incredibly thankful for taking the meds. The Lexapro helped me gain control of my life, my thoughts and face the things that are really breaking my soul. Had I not gone on them, I honestly have no idea where I would be today. When I think about it, my heart breaks.
It has been the hardest two years on my life but the proudest, most honest, most raw and I wouldn't change it for the world. I sit here today valuing myself more than ever before. Owning my past, setting me free for my future. Taking all that pain and turning into power.
The phoenix is rising.....
