Hope y’all had a fantastic Easter. We sure did! We had a delicious brunch, where we totally pigged out, followed by the hot tub, a family movie, and puzzles. It was definitely a long overdue day of relaxing!

Chocolate and Coconut Granola Bites
Oh my gosh these Chocolate and Coconut Granola Bites are absolutely delish!!! They are super easy to make and you can easily switch the ingredients to fit your dietary needs. Why on earth haven’t I made these before?
Sweet Potato Hash Brown Cups
I’m sure by now you have all figured out that I love to make foods in a muffin pan. They look so darned cute and usually, and I use that term loosely, helps me with portion control. Umm, let’s just say these hash browns got totally out of portion control! I could not stop eating them!
Flour-less Brownies
Just because you are gluten free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious brownie.
Seriously, these brownies are super moist, chocolatey, and no one will guess they are make with black beans instead of flour. I promise! They will make a perfect treat for your Valentine!
Lightened Up Buffalo Chicken Dip
Hosting a party for game day? Let’s face it everyone loves buffalo chicken dip! It’s always the first dish gone when we host parties. Although you don’t need to have a party to make this dip, it also make a great snack and reheats well too.
Paleo Cinnamon Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread
A few months ago I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of The Paleo Kitchen written by George Bryant and Juli Bauer. I was so excited to get in my tiny apartment kitchen and try out these amazing recipes! I have made many of their recipes in the past so I new it was going to be an awesome cookbook. Well then life got in the way, we bought a house and needed to move quickly.
So this gorgeous cookbook was packed away. I finally got the house unpacked and was so excited when I finally found this treasure packed away in a box.
The Paleo Kitchen starts with tips on getting started on the paleo diet, then transitions into a list of seasonal list of fruits and veggies which certainly helps keeping the grocery budget in check. Then they move onto panty essentials and kitchen tools to make your life easier in the kitchen. They also discuss how to cook smarter and proper food storage. I think this is great resource for the beginner cook who may be completely overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
Now onto the recipes! I’m not sure where to start! Everything looks and sounds amaaaazing. My first recipe was the Cinnamon Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread.

Caprese Garlic Bread
It’s tomato season and anything caprese is my absolute fav! I typically don’t eat a lot of bread, but when I do it is definitely going to be this Caprese Garlic Bread! Oh my gosh it is so good and so easy to make.
I LOVE MEATBALLS!
Every time I post a meatball recipe I get such great feedback from so many of you. They always seem to rank right up there my most popular recipes. I guess it’s true that people really do love their meatballs.
I’ve tried to decide which I like the most and I just can’t seem to pick one. I always seem to change my mind each time I try the next one. My husband Eric loves anything spicy so he’s completely torn between the Buffalo Chicken Meatballs and the Asian Chicken Meatballs.
If you’re a fan of meatballs and haven’t tried these yet, I highly recommend trying them all. I’d love to hear from you which one you choose as your favorite.
Your favorites so far go in the following order:
Asian Chicken Meatballs
Baked Zucchini Tots
It’s zucchini season! That time of year where vegetable gardens will be overflowing with zucchini and has you wondering what on earth you are going to with all of it. Well add Baked Zucchini Tots to your list!
