*Almost* Primal Mini Muffins (Chocolate Zucchini)

Inspired by this recipe: http://www.thefoodieandthefamily.com/2011/11/18/grain-free-double-chocolate-zucchini-muffins/#more-1128

ours had:
1/4 c Sorghum Syrup
1/4 c agave
1/4 c coconut oil
6 pastured eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 c coconut flour
1/3 c raw cacao powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t cinnamon

3/4 c zucchini, finely shredded
various mix ins: we used dried cherries, walnuts, almonds, pepitas & dried cranberries, mini-marshmallows

1. Whisk together wet ingredients in one bowl. Set aside.
2. Stir together dry ingredients in another bowl.
3. Mix the wet & dry, fold in the zucchini & mix ins.
4. Using mini muffins liners fill 2/3- top with a nut or piece of dried fruit or marshmallow.
5. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, or until just done - do not over cook!!

Best served warm and fresh from the oven. We had ours with dried persimmons and orange juice.

This recipe made 26 minis and 6 larger heart shaped muffins which I slightly underbaked and refrigerated for Thursdays breakfast- quick and easy way to start Thanksgiving off with some protein and without grains!

Have assembled a list of all the Primal/ Paleo Parent Blogs- after being inspired by one of my favorites: http://theprimalparent.com/2011/08/25/primalpaleo-parent-bloggers-and-their-favorite-reads/

My list is here if you want to take a gander (loving Springpad)!

And a special thanks to my friend and the original inspiration for my research on paleo living for correcting me, these are not truly paleo or primal, with sugars (even natural) and cacao powder are not for usual consumption- but at least I can have something akin to chocolate brownies on occasion!! Visit Laura's blog here- she really knows her stuff!! And is a great source of "personal success" information rather than just scientific details... http://primalandgreenoc.blogspot.com/

BBQwik Chicken Salad

I really like to keep the Dave's Cucumber & Tomato Salad on hand- it is great for snacking, lettuce wraps, adding to other salads, tacos, etc. Here is the recipe I have...



For a dairy free ranch you can try my Cashew Cream version of ranch...
