I think I’m turning into a hippie on you all.
Paleo this. Whole30 that. And now I’ve taken up meditation. Transcendental meditation to be exact.
It’s something I’ve done off and on for years after hearing Rosie O’Donnell talk about it on The View. Two things: yes, I am a retired housewife trapped in a millennial body and second say what you will about Rosie, but I’ve been a fan since I was in second grade and think she’s pretty awesome even if don’t always agree with her.
The basics of transcendental meditation, or TM as the cool people call it apparently, is that you quiet and focus your mind and body by repeating a phrase or mantra silently.
Honestly, I typically use it to fall asleep when I’ve been out late, had to much caffeine, or my mind is racing for any one of a number of reasons.
But in an effort to get an agent/change my life by the end of summer, I’m taking it more seriously.
My goal is to get in my shiny new bed in my redecorated bedroom (which I have to show you one day!) each evening for ten minutes at the least and TM my little brain out. It can’t hurt and maybe just maybe it will help because I definitely believe our minds and bodies are so powerful and can do things even we can’t imagine or understand.
I hope you will try it too, and if you need help choosing a mantra, just choose something positive and meaningful for you. As I told Mom, worst case, I think don’t worry be happy sounds pretty good 🙂
And now onto these muffins that might be as good for us as TM. Paleo Peach Muffins are a breeze to make and a little treat you can totally feel good about eating. Plus, they celebrate one of my favorite foods: peaches!
Let’s change our worlds and at the same time the world at large.
Paleo Peach Muffins #SundaySupper
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 10 muffins 1x
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups peaches, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper liners in 10 cups in a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, honey, and vanilla. Stir in almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix until combined. Stir in peaches until distributed.
- Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake about 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out of the center clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the muffins are getting too brown on top and need more time to cook in the center, tent them with foil.
- Serve warm or cool completely in pan. Muffins may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen, wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in a zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the microwave about 1 minute.

Yes, indeed, Laura! Change ourselves and outer worlds do reflect the greater loving <3 Speaking of loving, your paleo peach muffins look and sound perfect.
Seriously, congratulations on adopting meditation…It has made a world of difference for me <3
I hope I find the difference that you did with meditation. Thanks, Kim!
I’ve never been able to clear my mind to get to that meditative state. I tried tai chi that’s the closest I get. Maybe one of your muffins would help? These look so peachy good!
I have always wanted to try tai chi! It sounds very calming.
It’s great to know olive oil works in them! Thanks for making 🙂
Thanks for leaving a comment, Cheryl! I appreciate it <3
I just got a peck of peaches and these muffins are calling my name!
These muffins look amazing!!! And I’m impressed with your dedication to TM. I need to curtail my wandering thoughts that invade my brain whenever I try to meditate!
Have never tried TM but I am sure that it helps body and mind. Once we start building this house, I will have to try it. I’m sure I will need it then. As for trying something, these muffins are worth trying! As soon as I get some peaches, this will be on my list!
Mmmm, muffins! Love them! But then, who doesn’t? These look terrific. And TM? Congrats! My brain seems to have a mind of its own — can never do that. But so many people say it’s good stuff that it’s definitely worth the effort.
Hi Laura, I hope the TM is helping you focus! I haven’t tried it, but I’ve been loving yoga lately 🙂 It really helps me on stressful days. These muffins look great and I love that they’re Paleo and healthy!! I also love the changes you made to your blog, it looks terrific!
Thank you, Marcelle 🙂 I bet yoga is great. I don’t have enough focus for that. If I am going to work out, I want to be going all out physically.
