Tarry Health Fitness, Weight Loss, Workouts and Healthy Eating 
There’s this dessert I’ll often make when we have a squadron function. It’s super easy, looks pretty, and tastes amazing.
We’re in a training squadron now and things are different than an operations squadron (and we’re due to get our assignment any day ….and they’re probably getting rid of the A-10 and things are a little…exciting to say the least), but we still get together fairly often. Now, it seems like many people are Paleo, including the Pilot’s colleagues. I’m almost Paleo-ish too… except for the brown rice tortillas, goat cheese and Annie’s bunnies, to name a few. So really not that much at all (even though I get asked often if I’m Paleo since I have a penchant for grain-free and dairy-free recipes).
I decided to whip up a little something using the same flavor combo as my last get-together dessert standard, but grain-free and dairy-free so more people couple enjoy it.
That is, until I ate most of them.
Quality control, right? ?
Make some of these for your Paleo friends, your love, or yourself. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did ?
