October Inspiration

Change is one of our greatest teachers. It asks us everyday to prove our commitment to ourselves. It leads us into the dark places and allows us to fill them with light.It shows us things about ourselves that we never knew. And before we know it, it shows us how powerful and strong we are.

Autumn Goodness

Dear Friends,

My favorite season is here! I was remarking the other day the reason I love fall is the constant changes that I see outside. I think I love the movement and transformation that fall brings. Most of you know I don’t sit still well so this ever changing season is perfect for my personality.

Often this time of year we hear about the concept of embracing the change and ‘letting go’. One of my greatest teachers ever once told me that not all change can be embraced and that sometimes change is very hard and not easily welcomed. So true, right?

Though we may not always fully embrace changes, we might be able to lean into the process and see just how strong we really are. We know that as we move through what is showing up in our lives, we are often making space for something else.

The season for me is coming to a change as I feel and listen to the pull to welcome in something different. In fact, I have been feeling this nudge for a variety of reasons in the last few months. Part of it is the push to complete some big projects that I have been working on and the other part of me is listening to the interior landscape of my soul asking me to align my actions with its deepest truth. Add to that some reminders that the Universe is always putting in my path exactly what I need in order to pause, look and learn. And maybe even slow down a bit to refuel. I am hoping with a bit lighter load in my heart, I will find the space to shine even more. Isn’t that what we are here to do anyway?

I realize that there will be some disappointment, much like many of us feel as we watch summer come to and end and we pull out the snow shovels and warm sweaters for the coming months of cold. I ask you though to feel the disappointment, and then consider the curiosity that a new season can bring you. Sometimes the change is just what we need.

For the rest of the month, I encourage you to take in the glory of the changing leaves. Breathe in the fall air. Let go of something weighing on your heart. Shed an old belief. Release what doesn’t elevate you. And most importantly, know that all is well.

Much love,

Stacie

Life Lessons from an Pumpkin

Pumpkins are a staple of fall. We go to the pumpkin patch and scour of the field full of pumpkins, searching for the perfect one. We use them to make pies, cakes, breads, pasta, and virtually any food imaginable. We carve them, put a candle inside, and set them on our doorsteps. We spend a season obsessed with pumpkins, and then they’re gone on to something.

However, as the cold winds begin to blow, we know we must hold on tight to our branches until it’s our time to fall. It’s interesting because none of us want to drop. We just want to stay in our spot, high above the ground and admire the magnificent atmosphere fall brings.

1. Your size and shape don’t matter. You are magnificent just as you are. Embrace all of you!

2. Sometimes we need to remove the yuck from inside. Doing the inner work is so rewarding. Take time to get rid of the negative.

3. People may only like you for a season. We all know that people are seasonal sometimes. Enjoy the people while you have them, but also know that some may not stay.

4. You can be anything you want to be. Believing in yourself is the first step at creating the life you want and deserve. Go for it!

5. You may look great on the outside, but it is what is on the inside that makes you shine. That light inside of you is what people are attracted to and admire..just keep shining.

Thank You

I am so blessed that I can continue to share my passion and touch your life. It means a lot to me that you know that you are very important to me, and I am incredibly grateful that our paths have crossed. I believe that now more than ever, we need to recognize the people and meaningful connections that we all have.

As always, it is my hope that you stay healthy and happy in your mind, body and spirit.

Much love and light to you!

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Let’s face it. Pumpkin season is here and yet it’s still a tad warm in some areas so cold brew coffee is still refreshing. Or if you’re like me, cold brew is richly bold and amazing anytime!

I am a sucker for the pumpkin cream cold brew at Starbucks. A true sucker. You might be asking—what is a pumpkin cream cold brew? It is an iced coffee that has a layer of cold brew topped with a pumpkin cold foam. The foam is made using a mixture of cream (or half and half), milk, pumpkin, and spices. Super simple to whip with a frother, or blender, giving you that silky smooth topping.

I decided it was time to recreate their popular fall drink, and man am I glad I did. This pumpkin spice drink tastes exactly like their version but costs a fraction of the price and takes less than 5 minutes to make! Plus I can tweak it to my own taste preferences.

Here it is. So simple:

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream or half and half
  • 2 tablespoons 2% or higher milk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pure cinnamon essential oil)
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • pinch of ginger (or pure ginger essential oil)
  • 12 oz cold brew coffee
  • *if you opt to use essential oils, ensure that they are pure. I use this brand and can gladly coach you on proper use.

INSTRUCTIONS

How to Make Pumpkin Sweet Cream

  • Combine the cream, milk, syrup, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a jar.
  • Using a frother, mix for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cream begins to foam.
  • Alternatively, you can use a blender or mix by hand. Any way you decide, this pumpkin creamer is going to be the perfect topping!

BUILDING THE COFFEE: 

  • Add ice to 2 large glasses.
  • Pour 6 oz cold brew into each glass.
  • Divide the pumpkin sweet cream between the two glasses and enjoy.

One question I get often—

Can I make this dairy free?

Yes, but you will have a less foamy and creamy texture to your topping. I suggest trying oat milk for the heavy cream and milk.

Easy peasy and so much cheaper!

Autumn Pumpkin Soup

Are you tired of all the pumpkin recipes yet? It seems everywhere you look someone has yet another pumpkin recipe. But this one cannot be overlooked! It’s so good and so easy! It’s nutty, spicy, delicious and good for you!

Ingredients:
  • 1 pie pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 jar roasted red pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 coconut milk
  • 1 cup cashew butter
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves or 2 tablespoons minced

To make this soup you’ll need to roast a small pie pumpkin. I like to cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, add salt and pepper and pop in the oven at 350 degrees for about an hour. I like o save the seeds and roast them for garnishes or quick snacks. You can also do this the easy way and use canned pumpkin but there is something so soulful about roasting one.

Meanwhile in a large pot sauté the onions in the coconut oil until tender. When the pumpkin is fully cooked and soft, allow it to cool enough to handle and then scoop out that delicious flesh. Add the pumpkin and the rest of the ingredients to the pot.

Let this simmer for at least 30 minutes. I actually love the smell and allow it to simmer sometimes for an hour or more, stirring for often.

Using an immersion hand blender, blend until velvety smooth. You can also add to a large blender but be mindful hot liquids and some blenders don’t like each other.

You can top this soup with roasted pumpkin seeds or not!

Enjoy!

Healthy Pumpkin Spice “Latte”

Did you know you can whip up a “latte” that is milk free?

This version gets its creaminess from almond butter instead of milk, which gives it a much richer, more concentrated coffee flavor, more similar to a version made with espresso. Using quality essential oils gives the best most spicy and earthy flavor with all the immune boosting benefits. Remember though to never ingest essential oils unless they have a supplement fact label on the bottle. I only trust one brand to take internally.

In a blender combine:

  • 1 cup hot brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon almond butter (or cashew butter)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 1 drop clove
  • 1 drop cinnamon
  • 1 drop ginger

Pour into a mug and serve right away.

Pumpkin Butter

Made with natural ingredients, pumpkin butter is a fall-flavored treat that is sure to please. This recipe combines the rich flavors of Ginger, Cinnamon, and Clove oils. All three oils have different benefits when taken internally: Cinnamon maintains the immune system, while Clove supports cardiovascular health, and Ginger assists the digestive system. Amazing, right?

Ingredients

  • 1 29-ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (or substitute organic brown sugar)
  • ¼ cup grade-A maple syrup
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 toothpick Ginger oil
  • 1 toothpick Cinnamon Bark oil
  • 1 toothpick Clove oil

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to combine.
  2. Once mixture begins to bubble, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Taste and adjust spices as desired.
  4. Cool completely and use immediately, or store in a glass container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
  5. Add this delicious butter to scones, muffins, toast, waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, and more.
