Healthy Treats | My Anniversary and Guava Pastries
Today is my one year Steemit Anniversary!
This time last year my sweet daughter @mountainjewel convinced me Steemit was the place to be. Now I must tell you, I have never been into social media, not big on “sharing” so this was a huge stretch for me. Her wish was for me to leave a legacy for future generations.
So, with a bit of arm twisting…
and a few missteps @birdsinparadise was born. Pretty tough at first I must say. Being an introvert by nature, socializing and sharing on line is tough. But, my journey with intentional healthy eating and living has evolved in a pretty natural way on Steemit. I love sharing what I have learned through the years so I thought I would give it a try.
I never thought I would last a year!
I have to say…
I have been pleasantly surprised! With all of the horrible stories we hear about social media Steemit has been a delight. The friends I have made literally all over the world are amazing. The weekly contests hosted by @lenasveganliving and @plantstoplanks Fruits and Veggies Monday and @jaybirds Steemit Sandwich Contest have been a blast. Joining communities through Discord like @thesteemengine, @adsactly and @steemusa have helped to make the huge world of Steemit seem a bit more intimate. These smaller communities providing opportunities to engage on a more personal level.
These new friendships…
and relationships keep me coming back! As the price of Steem has plummeted in the last year we all know becoming a millionaire is not our motivation to engage each day.
It’s all of you! My friends!
To celebrate this anniversary I had to share something sweet with you! Yes, you knew I would have to cook something, lol These pastries are quick and simple to make with only 3 ingredients! Healthy Guava fruit! Full of Vitamin C, potassium and fiber, guavas are a healthy addition to your morning breakfast.
Guava Puff Pastries
- Guava Paste
- Dairy Free Cream Cheese
- Puff Pastry (2 sheets)
Yep, that’s all you need!
Grab those pastry sheets and let them thaw. While you’re waiting slice the guava in ¼” slices.
Pastry is thawed…
lay the guava slices on the pastry, spread each slice with the cream cheese and then place a 2nd pastry sheet on top. Cut the pastries into the size you wish to serve. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Golden Guava Delight! So light and fluffy!
Cheers to new friendships and sharing the health!
A huge thanks to @mountainjewel and to all of you! Your kindness, encouragement and inspiration mean so much to me. I’m truly looking forward to another year of Steemin On!
And as always, blessings to you all

You are so kind @mondoshawan, thank you so much :) Love seeing your joy in creating amazing sandwich :) It'll be fun to see what unfolds in the sandwich arena this year, lol
I'm in for that funwich... 😁
Happy anniversary! I happened upon your scrumptious picture of guava pastries and thought I should absolutely pay you a visit. So glad I did. You are gracious and refreshing and I look forward to visiting again.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY my Dear Mrs. Bird. It was truly delight knowing you so far and I look forward many more years to come. As long Steemit lasts, lol. But who knows, we may meet outside of Steemit someday. I am planning to travel a little, so it's a date 😍
And now, lets look at this mouthwatering treat you made. To bad I can only look, lol. Puffy pastry! Oh boy, one my favorites that I used to eat quite often. This recipe is so simple and so delicious. I am definitely going to make it, soon as I can roll the dough.
Happy Steemit Anniversay @birdsinparadise. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. You and the whole community are an inspiration to me. I just love your beautiful teacup and saucer.
That is some good looking pasties you have there. Congrats on the anniversary as well.
