Blogmas #19: What Was the Worst Christmas Gift you Ever Received???

Published on December 19, 2019December 19, 2019 by NAWatermanLeave a comment

Hey my friends!

Let me first say that all gifts are a blessing to receive. As they say, “it’s the thought that counts.”

Now with that being said, let’s be real…

We all have certain things that we like and dislike. It’s ok not to like a gift you receive. It doesn’t mean you are not grateful; just simply means it’s not your style.

The worst Christmas gift I ever received was a pair of colorful socks. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not the socks that I disliked, it was the design of it. This person, who happened to be a coworker from a job I had years ago, knew that it was clearly not my style.

What made it worst is that I put so much time and effort into buying that person a gift that I knew they would love. To add salt to the wound, when I opened my gift, my other coworkers smirked when they saw the socks. They laughed because they knew it was a last minute thoughtless gift.

What was the worst gift you ever received?

Hey my friends! It’s officially one week left until Christmas day…woohoo!

Have you been keeping up with your workout routine so you can have a little indulgence for Christmas? As I’ve said previously, you can have what we call “unhealthy food”, it’s all about moderation. Remember too much of anything is “unhealthy”.

Check out another clever Christmas workout I found online…

Blogmas #16: Meatless Monday… Sweet Potato Cornbread Muffin

Published on December 16, 2019December 16, 2019 by NAWatermanLeave a comment

Hey my friends!

So the other day I had leftover mashed sweet potatoes. I am not a person that really enjoys eating leftovers. Don’t know why, I guess I’m just weird.

Anyhow, I wanted to do something fun with the sweet potatoes, so I thought about turning it into muffins. I then thought about how I can make sweet potatoes into muffin due to its consistency. So I them thought of making sweet potato cornbread muffins…vegan style.

Here’s what you need for mashed sweet potato:

4 medium sweet potatoes
1 tbsp Cinnamon powder
1 tbsp nutmeg
2 tbsp Plant based butter (loving the country crock plant based)
1/2 cup almond milk

Here’s what you need for cornbread:

1 cup Cornmeal
1 cup Almond milk
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup Plant based butter melted

Boil the sweet potatoes after you peel and cut into quarters. Once cooked and after draining the water, mash the potatoes, add the milk, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whip until you get a fluffy consistency. Set aside. ..

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a separate bowl, add all the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt) and mix. Begin adding in the almond milk and melted butter. Mix well. Once you have completed mixing, begin adding in the mashed sweet potato. Mix well.

Add mixture to the muffin pan (make sure the pan is sprayed with coconut oil spray or use cupcake liners). Put the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
