That's what I "grab and go", use for bread for tuna salad and egg salad (open faced), dip in all sorts of dips, even spread with nut butter and mashed berries for a PB &J. There's many varieties out their and you can use whatever nut flour you prefer. The Sesame Crackers on elana's pantry is the recipe I use most. The link is in Dolly's Comment. Hope this helps. I have a new bread recipe I'm going to try so I'll let you know how it turns out. It has five egss, so I think it'll be lighter.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743768814688893480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-64563076341671822882012-04-21T17:13:01.205-07:002012-04-21T17:13:01.205-07:00Hi Heather,

My 29 y/o would not eat the muffins made with it, and I had to force one down myself. The golden is lighter and you don't get that immediate "I'm not going to eat THAT" reaction. I also bake them in a muffin-top pan and they are more cake-like.

While I am awesome in the nutrition department, I am a little out there when it comes to tastes. <br /><br />"...convince kids to eat pork for breakfast..."<br />Yeah, I guess that I can see that. Sorry, I don't have kids and often forget that you've got your hands full. ;) For me, food is good any time of day. I don't discriminate. <br /><br />When it comes to breakfast I usually don't pay as close attention to the specific foods I am eating (i.e. pork, beef, chicken, lamb, turkey, organs, etc), rather I pay more attention to the class of foods I am eating and making sure I am always changing it up-- I rarely eat the same thing for breakfast more than 2-4 times a month. Usually, I aim for one good portion of protein, a nice array of veggies, and a dollop of some good fat (unless the meat already has a good portion of fat in it, like bacon or sausages). Often, this means that breakfast consists of frying the protein for a bit in the fat (or its own juices), then adding in a bunch of veggies and spices/herbs, then covering it and letting it cook a bit longer. From a primal perspective, it is a nutritional powerhouse and only takes a few minutes. <br /><br />But, once again, I am a bachelor with no kids.

In fact, I wouldn't eat eggs that often because you can develop a sensitivity to egg whites over time, which can in turn lead to other problems (inflammation, autoimmune problems, etc). One thing that I do to mix things up for breakfast is to have dinner foods for breakfast. A nice, fat grass-fed steak and butter-drenched veggies is a winner no matter what time of day it is. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-4276962805875560842012-04-13T14:39:41.346-07:002012-04-13T14:39:41.346-07:00Heather, I am just stating my own opinion on the m...Heather, I am just stating my own opinion on the matter, don't mind me. I am what you would call entirely tactless. LOL This doesn't mean that I am a complete jerk or insensitive, on the contrary, I am a very generous and kind person. It only means that I don't mince words and you can always be sure that whatever I say is exactly what I mean. Also, in case you haven't noticed, I am never afraid to share my opinion. ;) <br /><br />To be honest, I have always been a purpose-based, practical eater. By this I mean that I have never had an emotional connection with food, I eat whatever fuel works best in a given situation regardless of what it tastes like (ate me some lamb kidneys last night). I've never really had much of a sweet tooth and my idea of a "treat" is a big fat ribeye. So, while I may think that it is "weird" for people to eat faux foods, in actuality I am the one that is strange. I mean shoot, I've been known to eat an onion like its an apple... Seriously.<br /><br />In either case, I must agree with Sarah regarding the "gluten-free craze". Shoot, I just got back from a bike ride to Whole Foods to pick up some beef, lamb and chicken; and right outside was a big sign advertising a gluten-free seminar by some local chef. What was one of the menu items? Gluten-free pasta salad. I mean, come on. That's just goofy in my opinion. <br /><br />Just as an aside, the only things that I will purchase from Whole Foods is animal-based products. I get a laugh from watching the look on the face of the skinny, translucent-skinned clerk ringing up 20 pounds of straight animal parts. Like I said, I'm a strange cat.

Coconut in any form is a healthy food. I don't see anything wrong with making a cookie type product like macaroons or a bread type product as an occasional treat, especially for kids who have given up toaster pastries and Oreos, lol.Polly Metallichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404841777505633584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-38499806244688426542012-04-13T11:51:49.059-07:002012-04-13T11:51:49.059-07:00There you are!

And on days, like today, I don't have time to make eggs, I like to have something to grab quickly). I just wish coconut flour wasn't so heavy.<br /><br />I don't want all the junk that would be in the store products, Joseph. I don't want to eat bread. It's not worth the fallout. I do need a few things in the house that do not always have to be heated up before eating. And nuts just don't cut it ;)<br /><br />I disagree about the treats. We've made cookies that are actually nice-tasting, convenient, AND it's all good for you. I don't see the downside. Whereas if I decided to eat an Oreo, it would have little nutritional value, and I'd suffer bodyaches the next day. <br /><br />Plus, my kids have allergies and I can't just tell them to eat cheat foods. I have to work around that. I'm not looking to replicate previous foods. Just add more variety. <br /><br />And, by the way, the Primal cheesecake I made was superior to any other cheesecake I've had. You should try it!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029176370961017729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-28682763972397865682012-04-13T11:08:27.706-07:002012-04-13T11:08:27.706-07:00Look in any grocery story at the "gluten-free...Look in any grocery story at the "gluten-free" products. They are all products that are supposed to be like the regular products, only they are gluten-free and crap. I mean, if you're going to eat bread, just eat bread. Same thing with the whole fake meat thing. If you want to eat a burger or bacon, eat it. Eating fake versions of something is kind of weird in my opinion. Why play games with yourself?<br /><br />As for primal/paleo stuff, I have never gotten into the whole "paleo cookie", "paleo bread", "paleo cheesecake" thing, because I long ago accepted the fact that cookies, bread, cheesecake, etc; are off the menu, and if I *am* going to eat those foods, then I am going to eat the real deal and suffer the consequences. <br /><br />It's like buying a non-alcoholic beer-- what's the point?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-54039948972153709422012-04-13T10:57:23.129-07:002012-04-13T10:57:23.129-07:00I don't interpret the "gluten-free" ...I don't interpret the "gluten-free" craze as a promise of bread-like products.
