walk away now and you're gonna start a war

i wanted some comfort food that wouldn’t make me feel disgusting.  i am really struggling with body image issues right now.  i won’t go into it, but while i know i am healthy and look good, i am having a really bad relationship with the number on the scale right now, and i don’t think i’m going to check it again anytime soon.

anyway.

so i sliced a fuji apple thinly and fried it in some butter.  when it started to soften i sprinkled on a teensy pinch of cloves, a shake or two of cinnamon and a little vanilla sugar.  then i deglazed the pan with water (lemon juice would’ve been better if i’d had it) and let the apples soften a tad more.  when they were done i poured them over a half cup of cottage cheese.

soooo delicious.  i love fruit with cottage cheese.  usually i just do preserves, but it’s so much better with fresh fruit.

i need to remember that cooking is one of the primary ways i care for myself.
