Flourless Zucchini Breakfast Bread


I was looking for a zucchini brownie recipe and found this flourless one.  Having Gluten Free friends, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone and make delicious zucchini brownies and have a new gluten-free recipe under my belt for when the occasion arises.

But it turns out, these weren't what I deemed a BROWNIE to be- but more of a zucchini bread taste in square form.  Still delicious, still worthy of repeating, still amazing since they have no FLOUR (!!!) but not worthy of the title "BROWNIE". 

Plan on making these for breakfast and not dessert and you won't be disappointed!

What you will need:
  • 1 cup of peanut butter. (The original recipe called for almond-but I didn't have any.  If you do, use it!)
  • 1 1/2 cup of shredded zucchini.
  • 1/3 cup of raw honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp of nutmeg
  • 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. I used gluten free chocolate chips.
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix everything together.
  3. Pour into a greased 9x9 baking pan.
  4. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Homemade BISQUICK Knockoff


Bisquick is pretty great, but it is really simple to make at home for a fraction of the cost and all of the convenience.

You simply must try it. I doubt you'll be buying any boxes if you do.

6 c. all purpose flour
3 T. baking powder
1 T. baking soda
3 T. sugar
1 T. salt
1 c. shortening

Pulse in the food processor or blender until fully combined and the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Stores well in a glass container.

Use as you would Bisquick.

BLAT sandwiches, NON recipe



BLT's are one of the very select few sandwiches I eat.

Not much of a sandwich girl these days (must have been all those packed lunches growing up...)

And who needs a recipe for BLTs I ask? No one. The name IS the recipe. And so it is true for BLAT sandwiches.

No recipe here, just a suggestion, in case you never thought of it yourself.

Add avocado to your BLT and guess what? You have an outta this world, way-better-than-boring-old-BLTs BLAT sandwich, and guess what else?

You just snuck in an extra 20 vitamins and minerals into the diets of unsuspecting! WaHOO.
