Sooner or later I should post a dessert recipe that isn't cake, right?I guess I just can't help myself. Placed in a room full of every vegan dessert imaginable, cake would be my first choice every time. But give me time: once the internship eases up I'll be baking more treats, and they can't all be cake. For now, I hope you can forgive another one. If it sweetens the deal at all, it's really tasty.Beneath the glaze and the toasted coconut flakes (which are a ...

Weekend Reading, 5.19.19

[heart_this] May 19, 2019 Nutrition and Wellness

Happy Sunday, friends. It's been...a week. Nothing insurmountable, just a pile-up of a lot of things at once. They all had one thing in common, which is that they were largely outside of my control.It started last weekend. A relationship that I'd actually been hopeful about (the first in a long time), came apart. Its unraveling felt as sad and mysterious as its beginning had felt bright and surprising. I guess it's a mark of some sort of progress that I ...

NEDA Week 2019: Sharing Food While Tuning In

The question didn’t specify a stage of recovery, but I think it’s an important conversation for any stage! At the start of recovery, learning to eat…

NEDA Week 2019: Having My Own Thing

There’s always an official NEDA week theme, but most of the time the posts I write for this week end up finding a theme of their own. The National Eating Disorder Association’s theme for 2019 is “Come as You Are,” which emphasizes diversity and inclusivity in our community of those living with EDs, those recovering…

NEDA Week 2019: Come as You Are

Happy Monday, friends! As you probably noticed, I took a pause from weekend reading this week in order to reflect on National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Each year, I use this week as an opportunity to reflect on my own recovery and to celebrate recovery with all of you. This year’s NEDA week theme is…

36

I wanted so much to sit down and write something very thoughtful and reflective today, as I have in past years on my birthday. The last twelve months have certainly given me plenty to say; they’ve been full of interesting insights and realizations, lots of renewed human connection, and important steps toward coming home to…
