    I made these once last 4th of July and they were delicious! the only thing I didn’t care for so much was the crust. So I just made a pecan crust and I made the keylime version of this recipe, so I had keylime bars this time. They were exceptional!!!! Everybody ate them, no one but me eats paleo. Thanks Julie for being so damn creative!!!!!

    I made the Herb crusted Salmon tonight and watermelon mint salad for a side. The meal was delicious and I was very surprised how well the watermelon, mint and cucumber went together. Thank you for always sharing your wonderful meals.

    I made the Watermelon Mint Salad for a 4th of July pool party for my non-paleo friends. They loved it and all asked for the recipe! Great job!
