nutty {paleo} pumpkin muffins.

March 25, 2012 by Hillary 10 Comments

Hi friends :)

Have a good weekend? I hope so. I’ve enjoyed having a little time to spend with the ol’ blog. I even got around to creating a WORKOUT page – about time, no!? I hope you find it useful; I’m looking forward to expanding the workout repertoire and sharing my discoveries in the realm of all things exercise.

This afternoon, I decided to utilize the final daylight hours of my Spring Break freedom to bake. I whipped up a batch of pumpkin muffins inspired by a Carrots ‘N’ Cake recipe*. The recipe is gluten-free and Paleolithic diet friendly — but seeing as though I do not follow either of those diets — I made them because the recipe appeared easy, delicious, and nutrient-dense.

*I omitted the walnuts because I felt like they already contained enough (healthy) fat. I might add a handful of plump raisins the next time around.

I like me a muffin with staying power. Despite their higher fat content, these muffins are very light in consistency, and have wonderful flavor from the roasted almond butter and honey.

A perfect breakfast or school snack if you ask me.

 

 

I’m feeling something spring green for dinner…

Take it easy!

    These look fabulous! And I think the addition of raisins sounds even tastier [I can’t get enough of the little things lately]!

    Just popped these in the oven with the addition of chocolate chips. How can that be wrong!? :)

    Actually, I did not have paper liners, so I put in chocolate to substitute…

    I’ve been looking for something to do with my almond flour. This looks like a great option.

Instagram post 2188697053505017711_212296339 When you think of Beautycounter, 'small business' may not be the first thing that comes to mind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A B Corporation founded in 2013 that offers more than 150 products, is an advocacy leader for clean beauty, and was the number one Googled beauty brand in 2018? Not so small.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, the business I run is truly small. I wear many hats in my role not excluded to owner, mentor, consultant, customer service, accounting, marketing, and so on. I set my own personal goals and do what I can to work toward achieving them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While Beautycounter may be a loud voice in the beauty industry, I try to make the relationships with my clients sincere and personal. When you receive a follow-up email or thank you card or gift from me - those are written, purchased, planned, and sent by me. Much thought and many hours are put in behind the scenes.⁣⁣ 📬
⁣⁣
Not only is the majority of my work incredibly enjoyable, it is also entirely rewarding to be able to help you make the switch to safer and get safer products into your home.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Almost two years later, my Beautycounter business continues to grow - thanks to all of you. I am THANKFUL for this opportunity to be your consultant. Thank you for supporting my small business and the clean beauty movement!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💌 xo,⁣⁣

Instagram post 2183017690054888249_212296339 If you think I’m just selling lipstick, you’re not paying attention. 💄⁣
⁣
Swipe right to see how I feel when someone asks “So, what’s next?” (a.k.a. “When are you going to get a real job?”)⁣
⁣
You see, I don’t look at it like they may: switching from a wonderfully unique job in corporate wellness to “selling skincare and makeup”, working from home (or wherever I please). ⁣
⁣
Instead, I see how aligned my life and career path has been. I went from working for one incredible environmentally-conscious, family-owned company that puts people and the planet first while simultaneously creating a product that leads its craft industry (🍺) to another: a forward-thinking @bcorporation that is transparent about their sourcing/ingredients and advocates for social change while consciously creating personal care products that perform.⁣
⁣
By purchasing @beautycounter ’s beautiful products this holiday season (or any time of year), you’re doing more than gifting a gorgeous lip gloss or luxurious moisturizer. You are voting with your dollar for #cleanbeauty to be the norm; most importantly, you are showing that you give a damn about your health, the health of your loved ones, and the health of our planet.⁣
⁣
For me, it’s all about health — it always has been and always will be. ⁣

Instagram post 2181017522292059910_212296339 It’s been fun, Hyde Park. ⁣
⁣
As it turns out, staying in an itty bitty AirBNB for 6 weeks(!) while our floors got replaced wasn’t so bad after all. To be honest, I enjoyed the boujee South Tampa life much more than life in the suburbs. ⁣
⁣
I’ll miss walking to free community yoga classes in the village, neighborhood walks with Koba admiring the humongous, historic century old homes, treating myself to many @buddybrewcoffee matcha lattes just because, the 5 minute drive down Bayshore Boulevard to workout at the base gym, and more. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, most times, it does us justice to shake up our environment. Because what at first seemed like it’d be a headache turned out to be a blessing in disguise — the gift of feeling C A L M when “home base” was in a season of transition. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for a few of my favorite weeks in Florida,⁣

Instagram post 2169125642797255035_212296339 My first yoga class in almost ✌🏻years!⁣
⁣
Woke up early, had a cup of decaf, took Koba on a cool walk around the neighborhood, and then walked to @lululemon for their free Sunday morning yoga class. It was humbling to say the least.⁣
⁣
The sounds of the singing bowl while in savasana reminded me of my beloved classes with @lisaweberyoga and then strolling through the monthly farmer’s market afterwards... for a brief moment, I felt at home.

Instagram post 2168509648563100656_212296339 life update 〰️⁣
⁣
We’ve been temporarily out of our (rental) house since October 14 because the floors needed to be replaced. Nick’s been traveling a lot for work lately and Koba and I traveled to Colorado only to return to staying in an @airbnb for an unknown amount of time (of course a two week project is now looking closer to 4-5 weeks).⁣
⁣
We could be moving out of state soon, but that’s up in the air, too. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Needless to say, nothing really feels settled. Even though our house is completely gutted, most of our things are difficult to access, and I’m living out of my suitcase, Nick and I are oddly enough enjoying this AirBNB (appropriately named The Tree House) more than our home.⁣
⁣
While it is no bigger than a shoe box with a pint sized kitchen, we *feel better* here. Nestled in Old Hyde Park, I can walk the 3 blocks to my favorite local coffee shop for an iced oat milk matcha latte and window shop at @lululemon. Unlike the busy suburb in which we live, people are constantly outside walking their dogs, jogging, playing with their kids at the park, chatting with friends by the fountain. These little things all bring me a silly amount of joy.⁣
⁣
It’s often during times of change and uncertainty that I recognize the important things — the shit that matters. ⁣
⁣
I recognize my ability to be flexible when I am a homebody at heart. I recognize my longing for community and that small town, local vibe. I am grateful for my jobs that allow me to work from literally anywhere, and I feel really lucky to have Nick and Koba by my side. One day, sooner than later, we will look back and laugh at these Florida memories. 🌴⁣
