Sleep deprived. That's me. I was doing fairly well for the first couple of weeks. I kept thinking "this is amazing!" and "I can't believe I'm not that tired!" Then it all caught up with me this week. And when I'm tired I crave all manner of sweets. I saw this recipe fly by on… Continue reading Paleo Flourless Zucchini Brownies

Tonight I picked seven very large zucchinis! I had also picked another large one earlier this week. These zucchinis along with that one totaled… Continue reading Don’t Turn Your Back on Them
