Brownies - Yum Yum!

Okay, so I don't think cavemen ate like brownies! But here's a brownie recipe recently posted by Wisecracks and Wisdom that looked interesting. We haven't made these brownies yet but Greg is pretty excited (I don't care for chocolate so I'm in no rush) to make these soon!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups Splenda
  • 2 tsps vanilla

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 8 oz (half a bag) of dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped almonds (optional)

Steak, Veggies and Potato

The other night Greg made an excellent meal for himself and Cameron which included steak, potatoes and stir fried veggies. (I had my own shrimp creation which was not blog worthy.) Greg made steak on the grill, 4 minutes each side. I'm not sure what spices he used - I thought just salt and pepper. He also made his own veggie stir fry including red onion, yellow squash, red pepper, mushrooms and zucchini, all fried in coconut oil (I enjoyed a couple of those veggies, but mainly ate my own shrimp dinner). Dinner also included a couple baked potatoes - Greg limited his own intake to just 1/2 potato with sour cream.
