I made Paleo Almond Flour Zucchini Bread yesterday…and it’s almost gone! We don’t have a bread pan, so I made muffins. They are so good and I can hardly tell they are paleo! I have another zucchini in the fridge…so I suspect another batch will be made soon.
![Ingredients
10 brown rice tortillas or whole wheat [I used Trader Joe’s Brand]
1 pound lean ground turkey or beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded Mexican Blend style cheese, reduced fat
Optional: 1-2 teaspoons chili powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. [Skip this step if not using brown rice tortillas] Saute brown rice tortillas until softened, using non stick cooking spray in a saute pan, set aside. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a saute pan, add ground turkey, onion, garlic, mushroom and cook until meat is browned. Stir tomato sauce into the beef and veggies, add oregano and chili powder if using. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside. Spoon about a 1/2 cup of filling down center of each tortilla. Add cheese to each. Fold in sides and roll up to enclose filling. Bake for 20-30 minutes until crispy. Top with salsa, scallions, or tomatoes. (via Healthy Oven Fried Chimichangas | SugarFreeMom.com)](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2n7kaPlND1qikc8mo1_500.jpg)

“First Bite Warning: Foods That Make You Do Bad Things”
It’s a common slipup: After weeks of eating well, hitting the gym, and skipping dessert, you’re on track to lose those five pounds. You deserve a reward, some candy, a (non-diet) soda, or a side of fries. But hours later, the scene around you looks like “The Hangover” meets the Food Network.
In the same way that some drugs pave the way for even harder ones, a weakness for a certain food can open the door to an avalanche of bad eating choices, says Gary Wenk, Ph.D., author of Your Brain on Food. Some foods are like gateway drugs,” he says. “From your brain’s viewpoint, there is no difference.” These so-called gateway foods make you feel out of control, maybe even physically unable to stop reaching for more, in part because of their addictive effect on your mind and body, according to research. But rehab is probably easier than you think.
It may seem silly to think about being addicted to food, something we’d die without, but most of us eat for a lot more than just survival. Merely looking at or thinking about a food you know you love activates the reward portion of your brain, the nucleus accumbens, the same area stimulated by drugs and alcohol. This triggers the release of dopamine, a feel-good chemical that enhances your awareness of that food (so forget ignoring it!).
