Paleo Zucchini Bread
1.5 cups almond meal flour
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed dry (1 large zucchini)
Set aside.
3 eggs (I only had two, so I substituted 1/4 cup applesauce for one egg)
1 mashed banana (I had none so substituted more applesauce (1/2 cup))
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted.
Blend the wet ingredients, then add the zucchini. Then stir in the dry ingredients.
I separated into about 9 muffins. I greased the pan and put it in the oven at 375 for about 20minutes.
Let cool for 5minutes, then move to rack.
So, they taste kind of egg-y, either because I melted the oil in the microwave and then added my egg to the oil, so maybe the egg cooked a little before I put all the ingredients together. Definitely very soft on the inside. Nothing like a typical muffin texture. Sam ate one and enjoyed everything but the edges. I'll pack them in our lunches this week!

Swiss Chard
It is summer CSA time again!
This past week I received:
strawberries
head of lettuce
bunch of chard
bunch of kale
bunch of radish
bunch of beets
My parents were visiting when we received the box and my mom was super excited to eat farm fresh veggies so early in the growing season. (They had lettuce growing in the garden in VT, but not much else). I prepared the beets by boiling in water, and sauteed the kale to share at lunch and dinner.
The radish is mostly uneaten. The berries were consumed within 2 days and I am working on the head of lettuce. That leaves the chard. Here's what I did for lunch this week:
Swiss Chard Lasagna: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/swiss-chard-lasagna-recipe.html
I pretty much followed the recipe except I purchased a grated blend of asiago, parmesean, and romano and substituted 1% milk for heavy cream.
The recipe was easy and the lasagna was good. I ate it cold all week and the cheese flavor hid the chard flavor, so I think my husband might even eat it if he gave chard another try.
