paleo snacks

I just came up with a good and purely paloe snack
Guacamole (avacados and lime juice)
pico salsa from Costco
Sliced carrots and cucumbers

I mix the guacamole and pico and use the carrots as "chips"  very satisfying



Granola Bars
I found a really yummy looking granola bar recipe that I love.  Of course, I am me, so, I modified it somewhat.  I don't put dried fruit in it.  I get the shredded coconut from the local co-op so that it isn't the sweetened kind.   I also use lots of cinnamon and I have added shredded orange peel for a little extra flavor-- YUM!
