Food: Blueberry Bars

I have to admit that I do love to bake, but it's hard to find recipes that won't completely sabotage a healthy diet and lifestyle.   When I do find a good recipe that can satisfy both the baking process and the "need" for baked goods, yet still keep you on the healthy side...I just have to share!

I found this recipe from primalpaleo.  It's easy to assemble and very tasty.  Although I could not pass them off to my children as "regular" blueberry muffins, I enjoyed them myself for an occasional sweet treat!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour

Food: Avocado Chicken Salad

I recently have been experimenting with the Paleo way of eating.  I am more of a follower of eating a healthy, balanced diet, with a few cheats (pizza and wine) but I defiantly keep my carbs to a minimum. With that being said, I have been researching different Paleo recipe sites to get some easy, new recipes in my repertoire.  Yesterday I came across the site PrimalPaleo.Com and found this super easy and delicious chicken avocado recipe.  I highly recommend it.  I didn't have any Bibb lettuce but I had a Costco kale salad mix and just put a scoop of the chicken salad on top of a bowl of the kale salad and had a great, quick, healthy lunch!
