Hello to all of Erin’s followers on The Healthy Apron. For those of you that don’t know us, We are Camala (Daughter) and Christine(Mother) from CC Recipe. We are excited to be a guest blogger here at The Healthy Apron today. Erin threw out the theme “Operation Beautiful” to us and wanted to know what made us feel beautiful. That is such a wonderful theme because it is so important to feel beautiful and good about yourself.
For Camala: what makes me feel beautiful is spending time with my family and being blessed with delightful healthy children and to get to have my loving family surrounding me makes me feel beautiful. I think that eating healthy meals with quality ingredients and exercising regularly makes me feel beautiful and builds my confidence. There is something very empowering about accomplishing some of my set fitness and diet goals.
For Christine: Doing what I love and being happy because of it and feeling beautiful about taking good care of myself. I try to eat right and I exercise 4 to 5 times a week with dance aerobics. Exercise is a great serotonin release! (I want to be a good role model for my kids and I want to be around to enjoy my grandkids!) I love photography, to make jewelry, paint, and bake…We are most happy in life when we are creating and all these make me happy. My children bring joy and fulfillment to my life and I am truly blessed.
Most of all we love working on CC Recipe, it really has made our mother-daughter relationship grow. We have grown so much closer because we are constantly in touch, talking about our blog posts and stuff to do with CC Recipe. It is such a wonderful experience to have a common ground between us and to share something that is truly a passion for the both of us. This, of course makes us feel good and we hope this reflects in our lives as our happiness makes us feel truly beautiful!!
Here is one of the many healthy recipes featured on CC Recipe:

I love using avocado in baking..and I completely agree that being with my family is one of the things that makes me happiest! I love CC Recipe too…such a great blog!
How interesting!!! I always wonder about other ways to use an avocado, other than in salads or my brown rice wraps…this looks intriguing….
I would have never thought to use avocado as a fat in a recipe. What a great idea!!
How cute is that little girl..and love her operation beautiful message!
You are truly beautiful! What a wonderful post, thank you! And those cookies look amazing. I love how versatile avocado is!
