Carrot Apple Bread (paleo style) simple means I didn't use any grains. Almond meal as the flour, olive oil, apple sauce, pure butter, and fresh ground carrots, apples, and a few chopped up dried plums (for sweetness). Okay I did use a tiny bit of whole grain cornmeal to thickin it up a bit, but its still gluten free. The recipe and Nutrition Facts are below. Its yummy with marmite but then again you have to like marmite and be from Britain, Australia, or New Zealand, haha!

ReplyDeleteMy friend and I were recently discussing about the prevalence of technology in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
