[ClandestineTX]

Yum, Ameli!!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Oooh, I have two kinds of apples, blackberries, watermelon, oranges, clementines, blueberries, strawberries, cantelope, honeydew melon, and pineapple in my house, but now I want cherries!

 

[LillyTame]

Oh, these are tomatos brought in from a patient, they bring us food all the time. I was hoping someone would bring something like mangos or pineapples lol

 

[GingerPanda]

I vote that it counts!

WOW those tomatoes look amazing. Coworkers and family have been giving us lots of tomatoes lately, but I would love to live somewhere like Cali or Hawaii where we could get fresh produce year-round.

(In fairness, we get winter produce, but it's boring stuff like garlic and winter squash.)

(I like garlic and winter squash. I just want an excuse to move to California or Hawaii.)

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Here are my bananas plus I posed my fresh baked paleo/gluten-free banana muffins with them.

(cough cough) (( ))

JJ, I think we want your recipe...

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Haha ok ladies, here it is:

Preheat oven to 350.

2 over ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup of applesauce (I don't usually have applesauce so I use maple syrup)
2 cups of almond meal
1 tsp baking soda
dash of salt

Optional: I usually use cinnamon and nutmeg and they're delightful with chocolate chips! You can also through in walnuts if you're into that sorta thing... I am not.

I preferably throw all ingredients in the blender at once and mix until there's no lumps. It's faster than this way and I also think it makes them more moist but if you're a purest here's the hard way:

Mash bananas well
add eggs and applesauce and mix
add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth

Use muffin liners and bake for 30 mins. Makes sure a fork comes out clean and then remove from pan to cool. Sometimes I cook more like 35 mins cause I like the tops a little more cooked. And they smell divine while they're baking!

Throw some butter on those bad boys and EAT. They're about a 160 calories a muffin and have 6 grams of protein. I'm eating these every morning to help get my protein in for the day.

Paleo is more than gluten free because it's totally grain free. It's mostly just eating meat, fruit, veggies, nuts and healthy fats. It's actually a very high fat diet so it's fun to cook! But the basis is that we've evolved to eat this way. Here's a better way to explain it:

I am only semi paleo. I like to cook paleo expect that I use dairy so I'm more "primal" than paleo. And when I go out all bets are off.

 

[ClandestineTX]

I sent the recipe to Hubster. He has Celiac, so we're always looking for new recipes!

 

[Snackimals]

Will get almond meal tomorrow!
