I know that title sounds a little scary. But these muffins are tasty. My kiddos gobble them up and ask for more! I came across this originally from the Paleo Plan Web site, but saw that it was initially created by Elana over at Elana's Pantry. I changed it up just a teensy bit, but it's basically the original recipe. It's so good, changes aren't needed! Recipe: Carrot Banana Muffins 2 cups almond flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp sea salt 2 Tbs cinnamon 1 cup dates, pitted 2-3 ripe bananas 3 ... continue reading...

The crust is from the "Make It Paleo" ... continue reading...

Gone were quick pancake mixes or pieces of toast or bagels or English muffins. Gone. But mostly, it was the cereal I missed. I had to reprogram myself to be ok with eating savory foods for breakfast. Ever since I could remember, I craved sweets first thing in the morning. Oatmeal with a pound and a half of brown sugar...Fruity Pebbles (not for the kids, just for ... continue reading...
What’s for Dinner 11/14-11/18
I'm working on getting photos of the things I cook...I guess I didn't plan right in that I'm cooking the same week that I'm posting, so I don't have pics yet! Next week I'll cook first, take pics, and THEN post. =) Remember, my recipes all serve 2 adults, 5 kids, and sometimes have leftovers. You can adjust the amounts if you have a smaller brood. Here's what's for dinner this week: Monday: Oven-roasted Split Chicken Breasts and Asparagus, Cauliflower "Rice" and Frozen Blueberries *Whole30 ... continue reading...
