Bison meatballs, fake noodles and omelet

can't have enough!  

Zucchini's in season now so I had to figure out a way to incorporate it into our diet.  My daughter is not a fan so I cut the zucchini to make them look like noodles and sauteed it in coconut oil, garlic, onion, pepper, a little bit of *peanut butter(use almond butter to make it paleo).  She's always saying how she misses noodles, well here you go then! She ate them! 

The omelet is just pastured eggs, scrambled with sweet onions, also from the farmers market.

If you haven't tried bison yet, I think you should. It's really good and it's one of my favorites.  This is just something I put together at the last minute:

Once again, I'm eyeballing:

1/2 pound ground bison
dash of pepper, sea salt, organic garlic powder, some sage
About 2 Tbsp pureed peach(no skin)
1 tsp honey

Just mix it all together and form into small balls.  Bake at 350 degrees F til it's brown. 

*I make my own peanut butter.  I soak the peanuts for 12 hours in salty water. Rinse well and roast them at 350 degrees til crispy.  I get skinless peanuts.  After roasting, I process it with a little honey and unrefined coconut oil.

Sugar and dairy-free chocolate bark

***WARNING- may induce chocolate COMA*** LOL

I've been craving for chocolate to the point that I even cheated and ate something with sugar.  I had a horrible stomachache after that!  I found a recipe online and sort of modified it for my taste. So here it is.

totally addicting!

I didn't really measure much, I just eyeballed everything like I normally do.  I apologize if this confuses some people but this is how I roll.  I'll do my best with my approximations.

1/2 cup organic virgin coconut oil
1/3 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup coconut shreds
1/2 cup crushed walnuts (you may use any nuts you like or even fruit)
9 Tablespoons of Hershey's natural unsweetened cocoa powder

Melt organic virgin coconut oil in the microwave (or double broiler if you have it).  After it melts, add all the ingredients and mix.   Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking dish.   You can use a spatula to spread it evenly.  Freeze for about 20 minutes or until it sets.   Break them apart and eat!
