I know it seems like I plan these things, but I really don’t.
It truly is just a coincidence that on days I announce giveaway winners, I also share a new recipe.
But it works, because I feel bad for the people who haven’t won the giveaway, which today is a Slimkicker Sponsored Iron Gym.
And since there can only be one winner, the chances that you have won, are well, slim.
To be fair, I always tell the giveaway winner that they are in no way ever allowed to look at, create, or eat the following recipe.
So you might be sitting there right now, hoping you’re not the winner, because you want to be able to look at, create, and then eat the following recipe.
You might want to remove your name from the drawing.
But it’s too late.
The winner has been selected.
The contest has closed.
You should have thought of that before……
Now, avert your eyes, Miss Daisy, and go check your email!
For the rest of you:

So…I have this thing where I love different diets, because I think they all make so much sense. But if I tried them all, I’d only be able to eat raw kale and soaked almonds. Anyway, the point is, paleo is one of those diets, and you’ve inspired me to try getting the grains out of my dessert items…that’s where they always sneak in. These look really nommy.
As DJ Tanner would say; “Oh Mylanta.” Those look friggin deelish. Making those bad boys over the weekend!
OMG those look delicious. I need them in my belly right now.
That new mixer of yours is really getting a workout! Glad you like it.
so these look pretty a-moz-ing except for the piece of egg dangling from your mixer. not sure why but it creeps me out.
can you refrain from egg dangling in the future pictures?
kthanksbye
please serve these at your coffee/book shop. YUM
i can officially sum you up in one word now: genius.
Thanks so much Jenna! Don’t worry, I quickly scrolled past those amazing pictures of melted almond butter and chocolate frosted covered fluffy cupcakes… okay maybe it was a slow scroll…
