Dave’s pretty bummed that this challenge is falling during football (and pumpkin beer) season, but as with most things, there’s never going to be a perfect time to eat healthy.

I have been coaching for the same organization for the past 12 years. It is based on the idea that people have been around for over 2 million years and, for most of them, existed as hunters and gatherers. This is just one reason why so many people from all walks of life are turning to the paleo dinner party diet because it produces results without the oppressive, tasteless foods and portion or calorie control you find on most diets. The major constituents of this diet are fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits like grapefruit, oranges and lemons also aid in shedding weight.

If you don’t like pecans, add something else or leave out altogether. I mean, just check out my blog for recent recipes! So I thought what a great idea it would be to start a blog. I have an idea for your blog. Have you tried using peanut butter instead? But if your nut butter is not all natural (or has salt and added sweetener), be sure to eliminate the salt and reduce the sweetener in the below recipe to account for it.

Preheat oven to 350° F and lightly grease your loaf pans with coconut oil. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until loaf tests clean in the center (mine took 40 minutes). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 23-26 minutes or until the brownies have formed a thin crust and appear set in the middle.

Believe it or not, I have no problem enjoying these gorgeous brownies in moderation.
