Good morning Friends! ⁣
⁣
Earlier this week I prepped acorn squash for for lunches and had one squash half left over. I wanted to use this half in a breakfast recipe, so here is the.....
⁣
Acorn Squash Breakfast Bowl! ⁣
⁣
I loaded this squash with yogurt and topped it with sweet and salty almonds and pecans (recipe coming soon!), crunchy almond butter, and lots of cinnamon!⁣
⁣
This recipe is so yummy with the sweetness from the squash, the tartness from the yogurt and the crunch from the nutty topping ! ⁣
⁣
This bowl will also keep you satisfied because it is a prefect combo of complex carbohydrates from the squash, protein from the yogurt, and fat from the toppings! ⁣
⁣
I will post the full recipe on the blog soon ! ⁣
⁣
Happy Saturday! 💜xo ⁣

Hello friends! ⁣
⁣
My son and daughter are both in activities in Thursdays so it’s usually eggs for dinner! ⁣
⁣
Last night I made this simple omelette cooked in @organicmeadow butter, filled with cheese, and paired with some bacon, asparagus, and marinated olives yum! ⁣
⁣
This meal can easily be eaten for breakfast for lunch too :) ⁣
⁣
Happy Friday! 💜xo⁣

Good morning Friends and Happy Wednesday..⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
November is Crohns and Colitis Awareness Month⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
1 in 140 Canadians lives with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis… and I am one of them.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Living with chronic illness can leave you on the sidelines of your own life. It sucks.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
•The constant trial and error with food and meds to see what works and learning the hard way with what doesn’t⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
•Pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion just to be “normal”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
•Having to prove you are sick when you “look fine”⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
•The whirlwind of emotions that goes from blaming yourself for being sick and the heavy guilt for being a burden to those you love to finding and appreciating happiness⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
For me, the number one emotion I feel when I think of living with colitis is: Fear.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Fear I will be broken forever. Fear my meds will stop working. Fear of surgery. Fear that I will be on this rollercoaster battle for my health the rest of my life.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Some days, it breaks me. But I fight on. I face these fears and fight because another option does not exist. Because I am a warrior💪🏻⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
I share my IBD journey via @gutsygirldiaries to raise awareness, to support and help others cope. To listen to others struggles and let them know they are not alone.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
For everyone who has followed me, listened, supported…I thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🏻⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣
Sending love and blessings always xo💜 ⁣⁣⁣⁣

Hello Everyone and Happy November! ⁣
⁣
Wanted to take a moment to welcome my new followers to @gutsygirldiaries 💜Thank you for your support and for joining my tribe!⁣
⁣⁣
Firstly, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Nadia and for the majority of my life, I have suffered from IBD, specifically Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Being diagnosed with a chronic condition at the young age of 15 was devastating. Through the years, I have found that eating clean, whole foods, taking supplements that support a healthy digestive tract, and participating in various types of physical activity has helped me to not only manage my symptoms but to achieve a much deserved quality of life. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I started @gutsygirldiaries in hopes of raising awareness about digestive diseases, emphasizing the importance of gut health, and providing a place for my fellow warriors to find comfort and support as we live fearlessly with IBD.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
By sharing my story and my journey to heath and wellness, I have made so many connections through this fabulous community of IBD warriors and supporters. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Have a question or want I know more about me? Send me a DM... I’d love to connect with you 😊⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My recipes, reviews, and experiences are posted on my blog www.gutsygirldiaries.com ...so please check it out and subscribe! I’d love to hear your feedback ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sending love and blessings...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Always remember, together we can fight any illness! 💜xo ⁣⁣
