It’s my absolute favourite time of the year again. I just jumped into September Whole30. The perfect excuse to not leave the house for 30 days, and maybe longer if nobody notices I’m gone. Time to say my goodbyes to summer alcoholism and embrace my relationship with the kitchen and with yoga and with my fuzzy blanky.
This season was one for the books. Started off with my first solo vacation in Seattle, to Ottawa for my sister’s wedding, to Calgary for Chasing Summer – this was arguably the best weekend of my life – to camping in Kananaskis, Kinuso, and more. My first time seeing Drumheller was 2 weeks ago and my first time in Kelowna was on Saturday. I can’t explain how grateful I am for all of these experiences! Maybe my goodbye to summer is premature but it was so full of laughs. On to the next chapter, becoming a certified holistic nutritionist!
On that note, I’ll leave you with a quote before the recipe:
Unfuck Yourself. Be who you were before all that stuff happened that dimmed your fucking shine.
