WHY
do we do it? WHY do we compete with, put down, criticize, compare
ourselves to and wish failure upon our fellow fabulous femmes??? And
more importantly, how do we stop?
Imagine how different
things could be between us if we all believed that we were amazing, that
we were beautiful and that we all had something unique to offer.
Instead of being in competition we'd be dying to get to know all these other amazing people!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were only in competition with ourselves,
striving to be all that we dreamed to be? And wouldn't it be incredible
to go on that personal journey with a friend running along side you,
not letting you quit and telling you she thinks the world of you! That's
the kind of women I want surrounding me and the kind of woman I want to
be others!
It takes a STRONG woman to admire someone
else's beauty and not question her own. Take some time today to text,
call or email a woman you admire. Let her know you believe in her and
think she deserves the world.
Banana Apple Muffins (From the FIXATE Cook Book)
1 muffin = 1 PURPLE and 1 BLUE
These are a staple in our house, they are SO good! And let's be honest, any delicious item that doesn't cost me a YELLOW container is certainly a friend of mine! Hence why I make them pretty much every other week :)
Ingredients:
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
1 Tbsp. organic grass-fed butter, melted (I use coconut oil instead)
1 1/2 cups almond flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda, gluten free
1 dash sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
1/2 cup chopped apple (about 3/4 medium apple)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Prepare nine muffin cups by lining with muffin tin layers or coating with muffin spray.
3. Combine eggs, banana, and butter in a medium bowl; mix well; set aside.
4. Combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; mix well.
5. Add almond meal mixture to egg mixture; mix until blended.
6. Add apple; mix until just blended.
7. Divide batter evenly between prepared muffin cups.
8. Bake 16 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Transfer muffins to rack; cool.
