I am worthy and I have always been worthy. ✨ ⠀

I am worthy and I have always been worthy. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
read that again over and over until you believe it to be true 😘🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
last week i chatted over stories about how i’m trying to navigate a life that is free from diet culture, free from the inner voice that tells me i’m not good enough, free from having an “end game” in physical wellness and SO many of you reached out feeling the same way. 😩🥺😭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
here are the steps i’m taking to make it be true:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. removing any fitness content available for me to consume on my feed that promotes diet culture and not long term wellness (ie. lose weight in 12 weeks! drink this cocktail and get thin!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. moving my body with the mantra that physical activity makes me FEEL good, that there does not NEED to be a physical reason to move other than for mental well being knowing that i do really love how i feel after sweating!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. reminding myself that i am WORTHY of nourishing food. that i have the capacity to make space to make myself healthy food that fill up my cup and allows me to be my best self. that being a busy mom and business owner is NOT AN EXCUSE to not eat or not eat well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i love connecting with my community here- if any of this resonates with you and you feel like you can share, i’d love to hear it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
tell me, is there anything else you would add to this list?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
love you all, have a wonderful sunday! 🤍😘

I’ve got your weekend plans covered with these delish cinnamon buns! 😋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll be making these later today so keep an eye out for my stories!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recipe:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2 tsp instant dry yeast
1.5 cups warm plant based milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted salted vegan butter
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour, plus extra for kneading

filling:
2/3 cup vegan butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
frosting:
1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp plant milk
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
METHOD
1. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, yeast and butter. Create a well and add warm milk.
2. Fold mixture until resembles sticky dough, then transfer to a surface that’s lightly floured and knead for about a minute. Add a bit more flour if your dough is still too sticky.
3. Rest dough for 20 mins, then roll into a large rectangle.
4. Generously spread vegan butter around the entire rectangle (à la Cinnabon style!).
5. Mix the sugars and cinnamon together, then spread on top of butter.
6. Roll dough into a log and slice, should make roughly 12.
7. Place into greased sheet or cake pan and cover with a damp cloth and allow to double in size- about 30 mins to 1 hour.
8. Preheat oven to 350° F and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
9. Prepare the glaze and drizzle over the cinnamon buns after they’ve cooled slightly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Serve immediately, or make sure to warm up in the microwave before eating! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy!

🍫 Vegan Dark Chocolate Candy Cups 🍫 - SAVE THIS POST!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The availability of delish vegan chocolates is improving but sometimes you just have to bust out a good DIY to satisfy that salty and sweet tooth!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are ridiculously easy to make and made with ingredients you can find at most grocery stores!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used @maynardscandy_ swedish berries and fuzzy peaches (accidentally vegan) along with @glutinofoods gluten free pretzels (have you tried them- SO SO CRUNCHY) and @mydandies vegan marshmallows but really you can add whatever you want!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find the steps over on the blog!
