Wow have my taste buds changed!

So it's my birthday on Sunday and people at work wanted to bring me in cupcakes today to celebrate. I told them yesterday that I would be happy to bring something in that I could enjoy (that doesn't have processed sugar and flower in it), and so we decided on coconut bars. (they felt bad having me bake something myself for my own birthday, but then i told them how bad i would feel letting them bake stuff knowing i wouldn't eat it).

Anyways. So these coconut bars are awesome. They turned out moist and sweet. Well.... Everyone else thinks they taste like corn bread. REALLY? I seriously thought they tasted like cake. I guess my taste buds have just refined to tasting the little hint of sweetness. Looks like most of them are going untouched.....oh well more for me! Wish you guys were here to enjoy them with me!

One of my coworkers had a birthday so they brought in an ice cream cake...I gathered with them and while they ate ice cream cake I ate red pepper strips...

They asked if I was ever going to have fun and eat good stuff again - I looked at my strips and said "I'm pretty happy with these - nice and sweet with a good crunch"

I will say we went out to BWWW's for lunch the other day - I got myself some naked wings and a side salad - they had bought a bowl of fried pickles - it was sooooo tempting - well I was leafing through the Paleo Comfort Food book and was looking at the fried okra page (cause my daughter wants to try them) and I saw in the variations they said it works well with dill pickle chips...

OH YEAH - guess what i will be making this weekend...
