Crazy About Nuts
Growing up, I think my dad was the only one in the family that enjoyed eating nuts. I wasn’t the biggest fan. However, I have learned to love all kinds of nuts and make some great dishes with them as well. We are told to eat them in moderation, so don’t go overboard. I have to remind myself of that- they can get addicting.
Sweet Paleo Tooth
Eating a Paleo lifestyle means you have to sometimes get creative with your food in order to feel satisfied. I have found the best treat that helps me when I am craving sweets. It’s AMAZING!!! The nut that the recipe calls for is Cashew, but I have experimented with all kinds of different nuts and flavors, so feel free to mix it up when trying out the recipe. It was meant to be a scone, but I like to make them into muffins as well. I also try to limit the amount of honey/agave/maple syrup.
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups Cashews
¼ cup Arrowroot (I use cornstarch)

–Lemon and Cranberries combo
All sorts of Fun things can be done with this scone.
I’m a big fan of nuts and these sound delicious. I’ve also been loving dried foods like banana chips and dried pineapple. So I recently bought a dehydrator so I can make my own treats.
