Last week, there was a lot of emphasis on getting the bad stuff out of your house and your diet. This week, the focus shifts to incorporating the good… and oh, does it taste good!
As a prelude to the Big FAT Challenge (stay tuned tomorrow)… this is one of my favorite recipes that uses good fats. I used to love fried foods and figured I would have to give them up forever when I realized just how bad vegetable oils are! This recipe uses health fats and coconut flour to make a healthy and delicious version of a typically unhealthy food.
