I had a wee helper in the kitchen. I just love Saturday mornings and today I decided to make a pancake (1 egg, 1 egg white, 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp raw cacao powder, some cinnamon, 1 tbsp maple syrup). Then I made some peanut butter fudges for freezer, for when that craving strikes - and I want to have something sweet RIGHT NAO. It's super easy and a much healthier option for milk chocolate or candy... Or so I tell myself ;) No really, I did a little bit of research online about the "healthiness" of maple syrup and turns out it's a bit more healthy than honey but nevertheless it's a sugar so I shouldn't go overboard with it either. But I think it's better than candy filled with yucky substances... And milk chocolate found on stores. At least when I make my foods and treats from scratch, I'll know what's in them. And there's nothing extra.
In fact I had such a big craving for candy last night I made these peanut butter fudges and it fulfills that craving for sugary snack perfectly. I've become more and more interested in listening to my body's signals and really only eating when I am hungry (and in need of something specific) or if it's a treat... Well, eating mindfully. In the past I could be hungry and eat a bunch of milk chocolate without a second thought.
But I'm becoming more aware of how certain foods affect me and since dropping processed foods and extra sugary goodnesses, I am feeling much better.
This weekend I am mainly looking forward to seeing an old friend at her birthday party, cat cuddles, reading fiction, watching shows and doing some work I guess. I am enjoying having this appartment all to myself for a few days and feeling awesome. I do better living with a flatmate but I do enjoy time alone, too.
I hope anyone reading this is having a chilled out, enjoyable weekend themselves.
