Coffee Cake and Self Love

I had an abundance of apples from last weeks ' farmer's market and was going again today so I wanted to at least make a dent in them.
It was cold and really crisp out this morning , well all day really so an Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake sounded appealing.

Rather than use the recommended Icing Sugar + warm water mix as a drizzle, I warmed up the last of a jar of President's Choice Dulce de Leche.




Sadly , I had to use a bit of flash when taking these pictures , as the original pictures I took at 11 am in natural brilliant light, were taken with a camera that had a memory card inserted incorrectly .Grr.

The recipe came from here and I cut it in half.

I used half white and half brown sugar , low calorie margarine /butter subsitute instead of butter, and dulce de leche ( caramel ) instead of iciing sugar nonsense.


30 Days of Self Love - Trusting Your Body


Day 3

In what are do you know you need to trust your body more ? How do you plan to do so today ?


I need to trust my body when it sends me hunger signals and signals of fatigue.
I often try to quiet my body or don't believe it when it tells me I am hunger when my mind believes it has not been enough time or completed enough activities to be hungry or tired.


Day 4


the love we have from others and how it can help us more fully grasp self-love as well.

I m not really sure how to answer this one because as much as I ve hated myself at times in my life I have never doubted that I am loved. I have not loved myself but I have never doubted the love of others.

  1. Hooray, fall! :D The self-love is very interesting and reminds me a lot of intuitive behavior. Listening and learning to trust yourself and what your body is telling you. :)

  5. Yum. I bet it was a good choice to top the cake with the dulche de leche!

    Also, I could use reminders to listen to my body more often. It's so nice when I do!
