Back to reality, we go. No more random days off and half days off for my husband. All of our mom friends and baby friends are back in the groove and my kitchen is back in its original state as well.
This morning I tried a new recipe for a morning play date and I was really happy with it. If you’ve ever thought of trying some Paleo recipes, start with the desserts, in my opinion! I made an almond flour chocolate chip cookie cake that was slightly sweetened with honey. It tasted like cookie bars and I was very pleased. I substituted pecans for the walnuts (personal preference) and used Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour (affiliate link below) because it has the smoothest texture. It’s expensive, but worth it. Blanched almond flour allows you to make baked goods without the heavy carb fallout and with added protein. If you try it, let me know!

On to the week ahead!
Monday: Baked cod, rice and broccoli
Tuesday: Easy Roast Chicken with potatoes and carrots
Wednesday: My favorite ground beef casserole with veggies and pasta
Thursday: Quinoa Kale Patties and an Herb Chard and Feta Soup (except the store was out of chard so I’m going to try to make this with spinach… wish me luck!)
I also purchased some extra kale to try making kale chips again. I was not happy with my first attempt years ago. Do you have a favorite recipe for kale chips?
