There’s just something about baking that is completely different than cooking for me. I enjoy it, but I think I like cooking more honestly. Maybe it’s because of the guilt associated with eating too many baked goods?
Have a great Monday!
Question: Do you notice a difference in the way you feel when you eat certain foods? What about when you switch overall diets? Tell me!

Those cupcakes are SO adorable!!
I’m not much of a baker at all – mostly because I don’t trust myself having a whole batch of any baked good in the house!
I’ve never really completely/overall switched my diet, but we don’t eat out that often so when we travel I tend to realize how crappy I feel for a day or two after we get home…even while traveling we don’t eat a lot of fast food, per se, but it’s still different from what we eat at home and ends with us feeling a bit blah.
Mmm those look delicious! I have some coconut-macadamia nut muffins planned for the menu this week
I haven’t noticed changes in how I feel so much with food but I definitely feel it if I don’t have my morning cup of chai due to caffeine withdrawals
Hope you are having a great Monday!
I hate when we get in the habit of going out to eat too much. It makes me feel very blaaah and then I feel worse for stending the $$.
Hahaha I love the creative frosting! Too cute.
omg i posted about my cupcakes today too!!I have to make more for a work party tomorrow and can’t decide which ones- maybe Ill try yours!
yummy and adorable!
these look delightful! orange creamsicle in a cupcake? i can’t even imagine!!
I do find that I feel different if I eat poorly for a while.
I do eat take out food less than I used to, so I think that’s why I notice now. The last time I felt like that was when I went to Florida. In Canada, we just don’t have as many products available at the grocery store, so I go crazy when I’m over the border.
As such, I eat a lot more processed foods and a lot less homemade food. I always feel bloated and gross!
Processed and fast foods make me feel gross and bloated and lethargic too. It’s a complete 180 when I eat healthy.

I had to start a healthy diet about a year ago due to some medical issues. Anyway, for the most part I stick to high-fiber, low-fat, low-sodium, organic, whole foods. But of course there are those days/weeks when I revert back to the easy lifestyle of fast foods and processed junk. Anyway, it doesn’t take long before my body starts feeling all wrong…….its a complete 180 from the me that practices healthy eating. I would have to say that a healthy eating lifestyle really has changed my life because I feel better and better about myself.
@Beth – That’s a big reason I don’t bake often either!
@Tara – It’s really hard for me to travel and eat well. I need to do better!
@KT – Those muffins sound great!
@Laura – Yeah the money makes me feel super guilty. I love eating out though, so it’s a struggle!
@MegSmith – Thanks!
@Laural – You should def try them!
@Natalie – Yes, I think I got a bit burnt out on orange after smelling (and eating) these all day!
@Jackie – I have heard it’s harder to find a lot of products on Canada. Have you tried looking around on Amazon for things? We’ve bought plenty of food on Amazon before!
@Vanessa – Yeah it’s a huge difference
@LadyDi – Agreed completely!
I have definitely felt a difference when I eat too many processed foods and always try to avoid them whenever possible. Obviously this is much easier said than done and there are just certain evenings when I don’t feel like cooking up a big feast. But I’ve been making a much more conscious effort to try and avoid eating out as much as possible.
OMG, how cute are you?! These cupcakes look adorable. Great. Now I want sweets and my sunflowers seeds just aren’t cutting it!
Hope you’re having a great week, girl!
