Grain-Free Chocolate PB Banana Waffle Sandwich

Grain-Free Chocolate PB Banana Waffle Sandwich | The Nourished Mind #paleo #paleowaffles

Where Have I Been?!

You may have noticed I’ve been a little (or a lot) absent from the blog. Or, maybe you didn’t notice at all. (Maybe you actually could not care one bit, and you really just showed up for these waffles. No worries, scroll down man.)

Well I’ve been busy with a little thing called life, and I have some pretty major news: I’m moving! And even more major than that? Allie isn’t coming with me. Because we kind of broke up.

That seems like a really crazy thing to write on my blog, and a super personal thing to share. But I mention her in almost every post, so it seemed even crazier to overlook it. I won’t dive into the details, but basically, we’re okay, we’re amicable and sometimes shit just happens. I will say this: breakups absolutely suck. It doesn’t matter if you end on good terms and can be friendly–it still hurts like hell. It leaves you feeling vulnerable and raw and insecure. Like when you get a pedicure and they pumice your feet until they feel like newborn baby feet and then you try to wear heels, only now you don’t have the protective skin to walk around in them comfortably, and you really want to cry? That’s how it feels.

So I’ve been MIA for the past month as I process my breakup, singledom, and all the things that need to happen for me to move out. It’s been pretty chaotic. I’m also not quite sure what it means for the blog–I don’t know what the lighting situation in my new apartment will be, so that may take some time to figure out. (But don’t worry, I don’t think you can get rid of me that easily.)

Grain-Free Chocolate PB Banana Waffle Sandwich

Tish–is there a reason all of your recipes have excruciatingly long names? Like calm down.

So about these sammies: they are the things of stoner dreams. Healthy stoners, who just so happen to be gluten-free and don’t like to put processed crap into their bodies. Okay, maybe they are just the thing of my dreams. Growing up, a fried peanut butter + banana sandwich was one of my favourite foods. So good: everything is crispy, and melty and sweet. Yes please.

But obviously as a gluten-free lady for the last 8 years, they just really don’t make it into my repertoire of recipes. Until now.

These bad boys are completely grain-free and dairy-free, and obviously chocolate, because how could you not? They are also insanely filling, and I assumed I could eat two whole waffle rounds, but definitely not and now I have a stomach ache (so worth it). The rest is waiting in the fridge, calling out my name to be eaten. Thankfully, Allie hates peanut butter and banana combos. Not why we broke up, but very telling, no? (Totally kidding–she’s amazing; life is complicated.)

Definitely make these. For breakfast. For lunch. For all three meals of the day every day until you die. Just do it.

Until next time,

Tisha

Dairy & hormones—friend or foe? There’s a lo Dairy & hormones—friend or foe? 

There’s a lot of mixed info out there, but here’s the truth:

❌ Dairy doesn’t *always* mess with hormones.

✅ Some people are sensitive to it, while others digest it just fine.

✅ Full-fat dairy (like yogurt) has probiotics, calcium & vitamin D—which can actually help PMS!

The key? Listen to your body. If dairy triggers symptoms like bloating or cramps, you might want to try temporarily cutting it out to see how you feel.

But if you’ve been told you need to cut out dairy for your hormone health, just know there’s a lot of benefits to incorporating it into your diet! #hormonehealth #integrativenutrition #periodproblems
✨ Can diet help with endometriosis? ✨ Endomet ✨ Can diet help with endometriosis? ✨

Endometriosis affects about 10% of women and people assigned female at birth worldwide, and is one of the most common causes of pelvic pain for women of reproductive age.

While we still need more research in this area, some foods might be helpful in lowering inflammation, getting rid of extra estrogen and avoiding the triggers that make endometriosis symptoms worse. 

✨Did you know?✨ 

There’s a link between IBS and endometriosis: they often co-exist together. If you struggle with symptoms like bloating or stomach pain, it might be worth checking for food intolerances, celiac disease or IBS.
