I’ve been spending today packing and getting ready for our trip tomorrow. Since Joe is at work all day I thought I’d get my packing out of the way so I can help him tonight and since he always leaves his packing to the last minute I’m sure he’s going to need my help.

I’m also packing early just to make sure that I take everything I need and that I don’t accidentally take something in my hand luggage that should be in my suitcase that I check in… which happened when we flew to New York! Also I think I may have overpacked, which I always tend to do but better safe than sorry right!

So before we head off I thought I’d write one last post and when we get back I’ll be sure to write about what we got up to on our trip and of course I’ll be taking loads of photos 🙂

Today I had an insane craving for chocolate, but we didn’t have any at home. Anyway I saw this post on Civilized Caveman’s site and since I had most of the ingredients at home I decided to make them.

These things are SOOOO good and addictive! They definitely hit the spot for my chocolate craving and I’ve had to hide them in the freezer so I don’t end up eating them all! [Read more…]

Paleo Apple Pancakes

Let me start off by saying THIS WEATHER IS CRAZY! All day I could hear the wind howling and even now at night I can still hear it. Walking to work today was a struggle, I almost lost my umbrella in this crazy wind but I managed to hold onto it, even though it had inverted and looked like it was about to snap in half… Naz 1: Wind 0!

I can only imagine what people in the areas directly affected by Hurricane Sandy are going through! If you’re one of these people please stay safe!!!

Anyway I’ve been baking a little A LOT lately, which tends to happen every now and then. I go for a long time without baking anything and then I bake a whole bunch and stop again! I have to admit I don’t have very good self-control when it comes to baked goods, even if they are sugar-free Paleo type treats, which is probably why I try not to bake too often… things like that don’t last very long in this house.

Paleo Apple Crumble

Uhhhh I’m so annoyed at myself! I accidentally deleted some photos I had taken when I had made some slow cooker recipes! I was going through the camera trying to make more space and well I ended up accidentally deleting photos I shouldn’t have! I was cursing myself afterwards and I usually save everything to my laptop first but this time of course I didn’t do that!

Anyway I’ll get over it….. eventually.

Onto something more positive. It’s apple season here in Michigan and last weekend husband bought some apples from the Farmers Market and a couple of them were still sitting in the fridge waiting to be used so I decided to make some apple crumble and be done with them. I’m not a big baker, I’ll do it every now and then, although I wouldn’t exactly call this recipe baking since it’s only a few ingredients thrown together but the end result was AMAZING and even passed husband’s test of approval 😉
