Quick Fixes

We're 2 + months into switching to paleo way of eating.  And we've been a good boy and girl about following the plan to the letter.  For a couple that used to imbibe when a snack or sweet attack hit, we have been amazing in doing away with snacks, sweets altogether, allowing our bodies to re-acclimate, realign and recharge our metabolism.   But of late I have been having those late evening sweet snack cravings, and looking for what would be paleo worthy.

Found a couple of things, and quick too, and already in our freezer/pantry!  A happy thank you to the people at Paleo Plan for saving me from my surprise attack in form of a sweet craving.  Happy paleoing - Lietta
