#LiveBoldly Day 23: Make Croissants From Scratch || HeathersDish.com #31days

When it comes to being bold in the kitchen there’s really not a lot of things I won’t try. It’s not only part of my job, but part of my skill set and how I’m wired – it’s where I feel the most creative, the most at home, the most in charge. The kitchen – really any kitchen – just feels familiar, like an old friend, even when there’s a rambunctious toddler pulling everything out and rearranging it for me.

 

The one thing I still had yet to try and had always wanted to was croissants – but you guys know that already. I love the flaky layers, and while I knew what needed to be done I just didn’t know if I had the time or the energy to get it done. This #liveboldly challenge, however, demanded that I do it. It’s not enough to dig deep and figure out that there’s more issues in this girl’s heart than she initially thought; I had to get my hands dirty and my belly full of croissants too 😉

The croissants. They really aren’t that hard, just time-consuming. And when you’re me and realize that OH CRAP! I HAVEN’T MADE MY CROISSANTS YET! you don’t really read through the full directions first and then find out that you won’t be done until midnight.

 

I’m not saying hot chocolate croissants straight from the oven at midnight is a bad thing; if anything they’ll make you sleep better.

 

These guys are seriously delicious, totally worth it, and while I can’t see myself making scratch-made croissants every day I am SO GLAD that I went for it!  I made the recipe exactly as Jessica did here, and it was a perfect tutorial. Do it!

    Nice work! Croissants are the BEST. I have made them once before when I ate wheat and I did the same thing as you, didn’t realize they would be ready at 3 AM. Sheesh. Actually they were too much work for me! Congratulations on such a feat!

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
