This & That | January 2017

January 29, 2017 by Hillary 5 Comments

I can’t believe this is the first blog post I’ve written in 2017 — 30 days into the new year. Well, actually, I can. My blogging game has been anything but strong, but I finally got the itch to show up here. Like anything that you don’t do in a while, I feel entirely rusty with blogging. The less you do something, the more out of practice you get, and the more challenging it becomes to begin again.

I honestly don’t know where to begin. A word vomit of the random thoughts on my mind seems easiest. It’s a start.

I broke in my new USA Pan with a batch of Sarah’s Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins (with dark chocolate chips of course). Sarah has this pan, too. Basically I’m just trying to bake as Sarah does. Her flourless (ground oats for the win!) muffin recipes are a staple in my kitchen. I make a batch almost every week or two. They are so easy to whip up in a food processor and store great in the freezer for easy weekday breakfasts.

Speaking of “flourless” recipes, Kate’s recipe for Easy Gluten-Free Waffles is spot on. A weekend must! But, double the recipe because you’ll want extra. I promise.

I do not understand iCloud. I recently connected my iPhone to the cloud for backup purposes, but now I feel like stuff (as in photos) is transferring back to my phone and it is annoying the beejeepers out of me! Tell me: how do I back up my phone to iCloud without photos coming back onto my phone!? It’s driving me nuts!

I am going to turn into one big Buddha Bowl (search “Buddha Bowl” on Pinterest and you’ll get hungry). I’ve been meal prepping these on the weekend and then eating them for lunch or dinner: quinoa + roasted winter squash or sweet potatoes + sautéed kale + avocado + seeds + tahini turmeric dressing. Nourishing and satisfying.

I made a matcha latte every day this week. In case I start turning murky green, you now know why. The best discovery was using my new immersion blender to mix all of the ingredients since I don’t have a fancy bamboo matcha whisk. My recipe this week: [cold] unsweetened vanilla almond milk + organic matcha + a tiny bit of maple syrup + collagen powder (sneaking this into beverages lately).

Also…

Sipping on: Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat® Lemon Echinacea tea (I’d drink this even if I wasn’t nursing a lingering cold.)

Listening to: Ben Howard

Snacking on: macadamia nuts and berries

Shopping for: bedroom decor (finally took the plunge to give my room a facelift!)

That’s all the rambling I’ve got for now.

Eat something that nourishes your belly and your soul this week.

Chat soon!

Love,

HP

    I’m so glad you got the USA Pan! It’s my favorite. I have a cookie sheet from them too. :)

    I wish I could offer you advice on your iCloud issue but I’ve never backed mine up so…hopefully it magically fixes itself!

    Hey lady, hope that you’ve been doing well! I love making healthy muffins to have around for the week too, and have made many of Sarah’s recipes – including her muffins. I’ve been also about green tea lately to make sure I get those antioxidants in to fight any germs.

    Oh and PS, my iCloud has been full of storage for months now and I still haven’t gotten around to either figuring out to how to delete stuff or up my storage. Oops!

    Hey there … is this blog still ‘alive’? ;) I miss your more regular posts … beautiful, inspiring, and another little window into my dear daughter’s life. I know you will post when your are moved to :) oooxxx mom Did you ever figure out the cloud thing? I’m having the same issue, though not the Apple version, and just don’t want to ‘buy’ storage, if that’s what ‘they’re’ after.

      The blog has certainly been dormant, hasn’t it? Thanks for checking in on Nutrition Nut :)

      Haven’t exactly figured out the cloud thing… sort of using both iCloud & Google Photos.

      I think this “new chapter” in my life will bring me back to blogging in the near future… xo

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣

I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
