If this newsletter ACTUALLY lands in your inbox this week, it will be something of a miracle because I’ve been in a right little spin… again… it’s a different spin I promise, and as of Friday, the page is still blank!
Such a lovely newsletter - my inbox snapped it up like there's no tomorrow. What an absolutely spinning week you had. But you made it! Will have to check out the documentaries you mentioned on the Queen, thank you.
Wow, you are an inspiration for being so open about and tackling head-on your food issues. I, too, can relate to an eating disorder and your mental processes (diagnosed years ago as well!). You really inspire me to renew my efforts to seek a nutritionist or other specialist and try to heal. So thankful for you and your dear Mum, I'm cheering you on. In the coming days when you get through the paperwork and meetings and as you continue on your career path, I'm praying you'll always abound with good health and energy to spare.
Hoping the thoughts quiet down as time goes on, but you sure spin the most stunning recipes, books, newsletters, and thoughts in general. This is not to encourage spinning as it can get disruptive and unpleasant in your case! I'm sure as your physical and mental health get better even your work product will be better too, you'll see! But of course that should be just a byproduct, the real objective being to be well, to be more YOU, to be happier, not just get to work more!
I'm astounded by the chickpea ratatouille and the CAKE, omgoodness... hope you have a massive dopamine rush just knowing you've boosted people's health and crushed their fatigue. And always with a generous dollop of comfort. Thank you for all the care and thought you pour into your writing. I'm astounded by your book and enjoy reading it so much I haven't tried any of them yet. But I will, starting with your granola... and truffles!!
I loved reading your article again this morning. Your transparency is refreshingly honest! It’s also therapeutic for you to share rather than internalizing everything.
I have a baking question. I love the change of seasons, so with autumn starting tomorrow I wondered if you have a killer pumpkin bread:muffin recipe. We recently tried a Starbucks copycat recipe that was rich and moist, but I love love love pumpkin breads and cakes, or sponges as Paul Hollywood would say! I don’t recall ever seeing an episode devoted to pumpkin treats. Are they not as popular in the UK?
Anyway, keep your eyes up and your spirit true. I so want to see where your life’s journey will take you, how you like teaching art, and how you are growing through all that is happening in and around you. Absolutely loving your writings! Have a thrivingly spectacular day. You are a difference maker!
I’m glad you made it through the week with all of your obstacles. Just keep moving forward:) I just finished a three day Fulbright orientation in Marburg, Germany and found it to be a lovely city even though I was sick the whole time and still am.
I loved seeing the newsletter again. I myself had a baking disaster today. The filling for a cheesecake intended for, I don't know, 30 people?, will not fit in a standard size mixer. Ah, such a fun cleanup. Learn something new every day, I guess. Hope you have a great week this week!
Hello Steph, I love reading your newsletters and look forward to them every week!
For years I struggled to put on weight too because of my diabetes so I have regularly seen a Dietitian too and she has been a great support so I know a little what you go through. I have also started studying human nutrition in the last month and it is amazing how much I thought I knew but didn't!
Your coffee cake looks absolutely devine, coffee cake is my most favourite cake, I make a lovely coffee cake but yours looks better 😋
It was also my birthday on the 17th of this month so I purchased your book 'Bake Yourself Happy' so that should be arriving in a couple of weeks for a birthday treat 😊
Please take care of yourself Steph, looking forward to hearing from you again next week ❤
Thank you for your willingness to share your vulnerabilities with this little corner of the world Steph, it is appreciated in so many ways. It sounds like you have had one heck of a week! But I hope that you can take some solace in the fact that here you are and that you've made it through - you are stronger than you think you are. I hope that the coming week is a little less manic for you; keep your goals close to your heart and never lose sight of your WHY x
