Match Made in Heaven

Joyce is on Faces of Beauty today with a beautiful story!

 

I don’t expect you to already know this, but I’m a tad bit obsessed with Nutella.  And I don’t expect anyone to know this because I haven’t quite advertised it yet.  But today I’m stepping out with my newest addiction…after all I had to find something to replace coffee with!

 

I remember when we first met…me a goofy college sophomore dressed in workout clothes, him a sweet and confident hazelnut spread dressed in a clear plastic jar.  My roommate was trying to get us together, although I was hesitant because I thought he was just like that hoodlum Vegemite.  In reality I didn’t know either of them but I didn’t know if they were alike or not.

Finally after a night of Friends re-runs and coffee my roommate brought him out on a piece of toast, and I was hooked after one bite.  Although our trysts have been few and far between (I tend to get addicted to him too easily) the love has remained and is something that I passed on to my husband.  Little did I know that he would find a girl more perfect for him than me:

Sure I think she’s a floozy for being better for him than I am but I guess I’ll get over it.  Even if she is a little tart.

Sigh.

 

HOWEVER this morning I found a way to bring us all together, a vehicle so extraordinarily simple that I can’t believe I never thought of it before.  Friends, meet Mini Croissant:

Now ready yourselves for a combination so powerful that we could all experience spontaneous combustion…I kid you not.

 

Even though Bonne Maman, Mini Croissant and I are great together,

And Nutella (my love!), Mini Croissant and I are fantastic together,

I just had to think, “What if we all became a big, happy family?”

And then (prepare yourselves) it happened:  I made a sandwich.

 

A sandwich so buttery and ooey and gooey that none will ever take its place.

 

A sandwich so rich it would make a grown man cry.

 

A sandwich so out of this world that no sandwich will ever top it.

A sandwich so powerful that I had no choice but to eat 3 of them this morning.  That’s right.  3.  I don’t know if you know this but croissants, Nutella, and Bonne Maman are not low-calorie.

 

Not that it mattered in my 7 minutes in heaven though.

All I have to say now is you’re welcome and good luck saying no.  And I’m off to eat the rest of the croissants.

 

FIN.

    I was struggling with ideas for a brownie to make this afternoon, and because of this post I made chocolate hazelnut brownies. Having just eaten one, I can say that was a very very very good choice

    I’ll just have to try this delicious sounding treat. What could ever be wrong with cherry and chocolate?!! Not much on Crossisants ,as they are full of calories and I’m always fighting the calorie deamon. Having always, but a few years of my life been overweight for my height, I rationalized that whole grain bread was healthier and very fine tasting to me. Just for you friend, Heather, I will try it and report!

    Oh Nutella. How you have stolen my heart. I consider it a food of the gods, so that means it’s a “super food” right? 😉

    I’m such a wh*re for Nutella I’ve been known to eat with a spoon, standing in the kitchen with the light off. Really. I recently married Fluff with Nutella and I nearly died. The light airiness of pure sugar against the creamy chocolate spread? Mmmm….

    I adore Nutella. I think it would be one of the only things that I just cannot keep my grubby paws off when its in my kitchen. I can have chocolate, baked goods, and so much more staring me in the face and it not bother me. Nutella though? I keep sneaking spoonfuls.

    Cute post! I have to say I narrowly escaped buying Nutella at the store yesterday. I also have an addiction. They say admitting it is the first step.

    I can’t buy Nutella because I’ll eat it up before I have a chance to spread it on anything. Oh, and I’d skip the jelly in the combo above. It’s nice and all but I like full-on Nutella flavor. Yes, I’m kind of sick.

    I’ve looked at Nutella several times when I’ve been at the grocery store, picked it up and looked at the calories, and just haven’t been able to bring myself to buying it. Peanut butter-type foods are one of my weaknesses, and I know if I tried it, I’d be hooked, and have a hard time going overboard!

    Nutella is great with just about any ingredients. I love pairing it with bananas… or possibly eating it with a spoon, straight from the jar.

    YUM. 🙂 Have you ever tried hot Nutella? My in-laws introduced me. Just put some almond/soy/cow milk in a mug, add a big spoonful of Nutella, and heat in the microwave until warm. Stir it up, and you’ve got liquid Nutella…so good!

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?
