CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CUPS❤️ Ingredients🍎: CHOCOLATE LAYERS ½ cup melted coconut oil ½ cup cacao powder 2 tablespoons maple syrup PUMPKIN LAYER 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil ½ cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling) 3 tablespoons almond butter (or your favorite nut butter) 2 tablespoons maple syrup ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Prep👩🏻🍳: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Combine all ingredients for chocolate layer in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. I found that measuring out about ½ tablespoon (or a little less) into each cupcake liner was just enough to fill both chocolate layers. These layers are very thin! I made 10 chocolate cups. You may have to spread out the chocolate so it fills the whole liner. Freeze for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin layer. Combine all ingredients for pumpkin layer in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. I measured out about 1 tablespoon for each cup. Layer over the chocolate and freeze for 20 minutes or until firm. Finish by layering the leftover chocolate over the pumpkin layer and freeze for an hour or until firm. Transfer cups to a sealed container and store in freezer. Source: the glowing fridge

Our body's are designed to feel amazing & it all begins with caring about how you feel & knowing that your normal state of being isn't 'normal' at all. It can be a complex & overwhelming path to untangle years of feeling depleted, exhausted & a bit BLAH. Especially as our earthly forms are so intimately intertwined with matters of the mind & heart which can take a toll on our physical self. To begin we have to acknowledge we are made up of mind, body & spirit to work towards nourishing all parts of ourselves with vital nutrients- literally & let's call it metaphysically. Then we have to understand we are in control of how we feel to be empowered enough to make the right changes for ourselves on all levels. This means, making changes to what we feed into our bodies on a physical level & what we pour into our minds on a daily basis. Controlling what you consume to line up with what you want to feel can mean that you have no idea that Beyonce had twins a few years ago or that you are not up to date on Krispy cremes donut selections(that's true of me- someone told me that yesterday & I was clueless even though I follow & love music 🙋♀️) but is it important & nourishing to your 3 earthly levels anyway?
A toxic lifestyle or a diet low in vital nutrients can represent only one part of a larger issue affecting your mood, stamina, & energy levels, so if you're tired of existing this way give yourself some self focused examination & assess your physical & mental consumption. You are here to live in joy & it's free will to choose suffering.
It's but something about the naturel flying.
What Works (and What Doesn’t)
I’ve lost (and gained, and lost, and gained, and lost) a lot of cumulative weight. I’ve been obsessing over my weight and going on poorly informed fad diets since before I hit puberty; in the past 3 years, I’ve weighed 98 pounds and 158 pounds. Right now I’m in the middle, where I’m supposed to be for my height and build. Saying you lost 60 pounds in fun, but it wasn’t achieved in a healthy way and it happened way too fast to be sustainable.
Still, it helped me learn a lot about my body. After a lifetime of dieting, I know in at least the most basic terms what does and doesn’t work for me. None of this information is revolutionary, and it’s all immensely subjective. Every body is different, but through a stupid amount of trial and error, I know a lot about mine!
Some of this information might be helpful, but take it with a grain of salt- if something doesn’t feel right to you, it probably isn’t.

I made a very un-photo worthy (but delicious) dinner last night with this recipe , veggie pasta with garlic and olive oil. Also, I learned how to de-glaze! #gourmet
Dinner last night 🍅 ham sandwich on sour dough + a garden salad (romaine, cherry tomatoes, onions, celery, sesame seeds and a few cheese curds) with homemade balsamic dressing!
Dressing recipe below:
My favourite recipe is loosely based on this one, but I don’t particularly like grainy mustard, I love garlic, and I like honey.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (it’s honestly fine with normal mustard but Dijon is nicer imo)
1/2 teaspoon honey (sweeten to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
Seal tightly in a container and shake until completely mixed
I think this is so relevant. You are indeed, at least to a significant extent, what you eat. There is so much research to show what a great impact the right foods can have on mood, and how the right nutrition can help stabilize emotional imbalances.

I love trail mix! This mix uses homemade granola so you can avoid the finely processed and sugar-loaded commercial varieties.
I use 3 tablespoons of sweetener in this recipe (honey and maple syrup- and kind of a lot) but feel free to adjust to your tastes/diet. The raisins also add a lot of sweetness so you might want less if you’re planning to include dried fruit!
I took this on my 30km hike and wasn’t hungry for a second 😻
Use this vegetable spiral slicer to make salads healthy and fast.

Here's some lentil soup I made and a update. I don't have pneumonia thankfully. But I do have acute bronchitis and I'm on antibiotics and an inhaler. This soup is delicious also.

୨୧ dear diary #3: ways I want to become physically healthy according to Islam ୨୧
In this blogpost, I want to dive into different ways I can improve my physical health as I noticed that lately, I tend to feel really sluggish throughout the day and I get chest pains on a regular basis to the point it’s difficult to breathe. My lower back also hurts sometimes and I feel nauseous oftentimes. Not to mention, when I was younger, my cholesterol levels went sky high. And I will…
