Paleo Chunky Monkey Muffins

These are AMAZING!!!

Recipe here

I had a heck of a time making these. First, my bananas weren't ripe enough. Then I forgot to buy coconut sugar. Then I didn't have enough butter. Then I didn't have enough eggs. In other words, I need to learn how to read a recipe before going to the grocery store!

Paleo Stuffed Bell Peppers


My sister had surgery, so I told my brother-in-law I would make him some food while Jenn was recuperating. This is what he asked for. This picture shows 8 stuffed bell peppers, but somehow only 6 stuffed bell peppers actually made it to their house ;)

Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats from SkinnyTaste

This is one of my favorite recipes! It is yummy yummy yummy! I've made it before lots of times. 
However, this time I cut my finger with the vegetable chopper when I was trying to wash it off, so I have a cooking injury. :(
