This weekend didn’t feel like a weekend. Probably because I was stuck inside for most of it. It snowed like 3 feet. Not really, probably like 16 inches, but I’m pretty sure my car only comes 5 inches off the ground, no it’s not a ghetto low rider, well maybe, but I seriously couldn’t even pull onto the street. I spent 30 minutes cleaning off my car to only make it 2 feet into the street. Ok, that was an exaggeration. I made it like 4 inches into the street. So my friend Sergio had to take me under his wing and drive me everywhere. I love feeling 15 again. Relying on others to grocery shop, work, and workout is really fulfilling.
But the weekend still turned out pretty fun. Laura, Sergio and I played the 3 best friends card and did everything together. We went to breakfast together, went grocery shopping together, then helped each other pick out outfits. Well Sergio sat there and rolled his eyes as I took 12 shirts out of my closet. I hate dressing up. My PaleOMG shirts are way easier to sport. And my boobs are way more comfortable in sports bras. You just can’t always wear a sports bra with real people clothes. Dumb.
So I wore my big girl bra to a show we went to see downtown. We saw Passion Pit or Passion Pit’s DJ or a person from Passion Pit. I don’t really know. I think I’ve heard like 2 Passion Pit songs so I didn’t really know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised by feeling like an old fart. The venue was bumping with teenagers who were excited to get out of their parents house and be able to dry hump while on hallucinogenic drugs. What better way to spend your Saturday night eh?!?! Drugs are weird. Teenagers making out while trying to dance to some kind of beat is weirder.
Guess what else I did this weekend?! Sweated my ass off while shoveling our sidewalk. Maybe we shouldn’t have waited until it was complete ice slush. And when I say we, I mean me. Laura sat and watched. And took pictures. I did an overhead squat with a shovel just to be really creative and original. I should send that pic into the main site. I’M SURE they would totally use it. Wanna see it?! Sh*t yeah you do.
I’m watching Dirty Dancing. I love watching movies that I’ve seen a hundred times. They get more corny every time I watch them. This guy just walked up to Baby and said ‘This danish is pure protein”….like what? Missing some of those lines in movies makes me really develop of disappointment in myself. A line like THAT and all I remember is ‘Nobody puts Baby in the corner’?? That’s stupid. You disappoint me JB.
OH!!! And I did handstands in my house. No big deal.
Sweet Potato Brownies
- Yield: 5-8 1x
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Time to bake that sweet potato. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, use a fork to puncture holes all around it, then throw in the oven for 25-30 minutes. (I’m sure you could microwave it, but I like the ole fashioned way. I’m just so ole fashioned)
- Once your sweet potato is soft and cooked through, peel off the skin and mash it up in a bowl. And turn your oven down to 350 degrees.
- Now add your wet ingredients: eggs, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla to the bowl and mix together.
- Then add your dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips.
- Mix well to incorporate all that goodness.
- Pour into an 8×8 glass baking dish
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Let rest to cool a bit.
- Eat those b*tches. Try not to eat them all in one sitting. Like what may have happened in my kitchen….oops.

Made them and loved them! They lasted one day in our house. Oops. 🙂
Lol I’m the same way with those things
You are a brownie goddess!!!!!!! I can’t believe how yummy and healthy these are 🙂 I became so excited when, about a year ago, I realized that treats can still be extremely rich in nutrients when made with the right ingredients. I made these last night, and there are three left… and they are calling me…… So stoked I stumbled upon your blog, you have some fantastic looking recipes. I’m thinking I’ll try the caramel pecan bars next…
Glad you liked them!! You should definitely make the caramel pecan bars!
I am SO excited to try these next weekend (yay for going home for Easter) with my mom. Even doubly excited because my grocery store just started carrying Enjoy Life chips! Also going to make your banana bread (if it makes it to) french toast and the caramel pecan bars. Oh over indulgence.. But I will enjoy all of it. And leave any leftovers at my moms so I don’t eat them =O Going to try to corrupt my parents to your roasted bacon brussell sprouts, still deciding which of your awesome meals to make.
Hope everyone likes it next weekend!!
Just made these brownies. They are fantastic. Am going to increase the cocoa next time and maybe add some pecans!
Oooo that sounds awesome!!
These are in the oven right now. I’m new to paleo (not going whole hog, but intrigued), but dang! the batter was fantastic. I’m impatiently watching my oven timer.
Hope they turned out delish!
Your site should be called PaleOMF’ingG. For reals. These brownies are THE business. I want to kiss you. Wanna make out? 😉
Yes.
Holy delicious!! These were amazinng!!! I couldn’t find coconut flour so I used almond flour and they turned out amazing. You are now a favorite of mine and my gyms!
Your recipes are amazing!!! We added Barney almond butter on top & oh my goodness! These treats rock! We are PaeOMG fans!!!
Paleo for about 2 weeks and already my life has become boring..until I found this site. Love your personality and can’t wait to try the food. This weekend I’m going to make these b*tches and hoard them for myself, especially if they are as good as everyone is saying they are. From the comments, I have no doubt.
Okay you need to know that I have made these brownies twice now, once for a big dinner party and once for my own birthday, and I am totally obsessed with them. I’ve also made your ginger-honey pork (for the same party! I’m secretly trying to turn all my friends paleo) and I pretty much read your blog all the time. Your recipes are great and I love your writing too. Thanks for the great blog!!
