Tuna Bacon Cakes

These are so delicious and the best part is that they are made with ingredients you probably already have on hand! I recently found Wild Planet Tuna at Costco and could not believe my eyes. I paid less than $3 per can. At the local grocer I was buying it only when it was on sale because it cost $6 a can! This tuna is so delicious. It is wild caught and not packed in anything- the can is just all meat!

We ate our patties with homemade guacamole- what is not even better with avocado!

Primal Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

The picture does not do these justice. They are so delicious that I made three batches in one week when I first came up with this recipe. That is a bit excessive but these are a great treat or cupcake for a birthday party! The best part is they have hidden vegetables and only 1/8 cup added sweetener for 12 muffins. I love any treat that hides nutrition in them like these muffins, banana bread and carrot muffins. I hope you will make these for your family soon!
