Get ready to shed tears of delicious joy, these are amazing. My husband adamantly refuses to eat vegetables. He won't try them or even give them a chance unless they are creatively disguised. Enter: cheese.

What you need: (serves 2-3)
- 16 ounces of broccoli, chopped (you can use thawed frozen, steamed, etc.)
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 5 egg whites (or 3 whole eggs)
- 1 cup of italian seasoned breadcrumbs (optional)
- bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional- as much or as little as you choose)

What to do:
- preheat oven to 375
- line baking sheet with parchment paper
- mix all ingredients together in a large bowl
- form small balls and lay on baking sheet
- bake for 25 minutes (turn at halfway)

Paleo Pure Pumpkin Bread !

After another day spent aimlessly wandering the aisles at Rollin' Oats, I decided to take my first shot at a Paleo friendly bread. I was thinking about a banana nut bread or a cinnamon pumpkin bread and decided to try the pumpkin first and the banana next week. I think this bread could also be good with other sorts of roasted squash. Here goes!

You will need:

  • Raw Honey (2 tbsp)
  • Pure Pumpkin or Roasted Pumpkin (1/2 cup)
  • Stevia (1/4 tsp)
  • Eggs (3)
  • Cloves (1/2 tsp)
  • Cinnamon (1 tbsp)
  • Nutmeg (1 tsp)
  • Almond Flour (1 cup)
  • Sea Salt (1/4 tsp)
  • Baking Soda (1/2 tsp)
There are only 2 steps for this one! 

First, mix all ingredients in a food processor and pulse for about 2 minutes. 

Next, pour batter into small loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Let it cool for 1 hour & it's ready!

I think the loaf pan I used was too big so my bread didn't "rise" as much as it could have but it was still awesome!!!
