Paleo Friendly Chocolate Zucchini Bread by Ashley

Last night I was so close to getting in my car and driving to the nearest fro-yo bar! All I could think about was a delicious bowl of frozen yogurt topped with all my favorite chocolate candy pieces! Instead, I settled for making a healthy guilt-free alternative… which I must say, came out pretty darn good! 

Chocolate Zucchini Bread 

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free 

Prep Time: 10 Minutes 

Cook Time: Around 40 Minutes 

Ingredients: 

(I bought everything at Trader Joe's)

1-1/4 cup of almond flour (or coconut flour) 

1/4 cup of cacao powder 

3 teaspoons of cinnamon 

1/4 teaspoon of sea salt 

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 

a dash nutmeg 

a dash of ginger 

2 eggs 

1/4 cup of raw, organic honey 

2 tablespoons of coconut oil 

1/4 teaspoon of  organic vanilla extract 

3/4 cup of grated zucchini 

Directions: 

Pre-heat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until there are no clumps.  Spray a 5x9 pan with coconut oil cooking spray.  Pour the mixture into the pan.  Bake for 40 minutes on 350.  

This bread was delicious and completely kicked my chocolate craving! They say, "90% diet and 10% gym"  Eating healthy isn't easy so when your cravings are strong… always look for the healthy alternative.  Your body will thank you!

Green Chili Mac & Cheese by Ashley

Green Chili Zucchini 

Mac & Cheese

By Ashley Mora 

Prep Time: 15 minutes total

Serves: 3

Ingredients:

2 medium sized Zucchinis

1/2 cup Low Fat Cream Cheese

1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 cup Low Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Green Chili

Garlic Salt

Pepper

Coconut Oil

(all ingredients were low fat and organic)

Prepping:

1. I washed and cut off the ends of the zucchini

2. I then used a Spirooli Spiral Slicer and made the "noodles"

 3.  After all my "noodles" were made, I placed them in a pan over medium heat with around two-three tablespoons of coconut oil.

4. I immediately added in the low fat cream cheese, mozzarella, and sharp cheddar.

5.  Add in the green chili, garlic salt, and pepper

6.  Mix until cheese in melted

7.  Once melted, your dish is ready to serve

P.S. My mom (who HATES veggies) loved it and even said it was equivalent to Flying Ftar's mac & cheese.  Big Deal! Needless to say, it's a delicious dish that can be used as a guilt free meal when you're craving some comfort food!
