I Did It Again

Make sure you come say hi to Arlene today on Faces of Beauty!

Sounds like the Apple Cake Tatin would be a big hit for you guys!  And I have to say, it was a huge hit at my office too.  I really don’t know how I managed to sneak through the day only eating one piece.

But that one piece was GLORIOUS!

Confession:  growing up my mom and dad taught me a LOT about cooking.  They taught me to enjoy food (even though I turned it into a weapon for so many years) and how to prepare things quickly, easily, and healthfully.

I may not always follow the healthfully part, but whenever I make some incredible treat I always make sure I have a place to share it!  My parents taught me that sharing is a good thing too 🙂

There’s no doubt that they planted the food-loving roots, but when I was in college and discovered that Food Network had more than just Emeril on there?  It was all over my friends.  I instantly fell in love with Rachel Ray (yes, I love her), Giada, and Ina Garten.  But mostly Ina Garten.  One day I will be her (minus the husband-working-away-from-home thing), living in the Hamptons and creating delicious, simple, beautiful food to share with all of my fabulous friends.

So far I have the fabulous friends, I’m working on creating simple and delicious food…but apparently the Hamptons are expensive.  Hey, as Jack would say:  Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

All that to say that, in order to practice the food part even more, I decided to do another tatin – this time with plums!  And I have to say the plum one is my favorite so far.  See those little white parts in between the plums?  My friends, that’s straight butter and sugar that forms these amazing little crystals.  Likely because I didn’t have enough plum to fill that space, but I’m not complaining.  I’ll take candy with my cake any day!

Final post confession:  I didn’t share this.  Well, I shared with Nate.  That counts right?

If you could make any tatin in the world, what would it be?  Do share and I’ll try to make them!

    You’re so right that you need to make the same type of dish a bunch of times to get the hang of it. I’m bad at saying I’ll do that and then so much time lapses between my cooking endeavours that I forget what the original product was really like!

    I think plum has always been my favorite… STAR fruit would be really pretty but I don’t know how good it would taste? 😀

    I love Ina.

    Did the intrawebs just eat my comment?
    I was asking if a berry tatin (if you think it would taste good).

    Haha, that totally counts as sharing! I have to second the above – would a berry tatin be good? I am always trying to get more berries into my diet 🙂

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
