We have been playing around with some type of healthy energy/snack bar for a while, but it was important for us to find something that didn't have any sugar added...most importantly that the berries/fruit didn't have sugar...it took a friend sharing a Paleo cookie recipe with us that inspired us to tweak and make it into bars and next thing you know the "nuts and bolts" bar was born. This is a great bar to eat pre-workout, as a healthy snack during the day or even as a dessert. Enjoy!

We've gotten really into plantains lately so this is the first of a few great recipes with them. A close friend of ours, Brittany Gonzalez, who owns La Banana Frita has inspired us with her amazing uses of plantains...if you live anywhere near CLE make sure to check her out. One of our favorite plantain dishes is hash browns...they are so quick and easy to make and you can serve with breakfast, lunch or dinner (or as a snack). For this recipe we kept it super simple, but feel free to try different spice/flavor combos to your liking.
Read MoreButtery Gluten Free Biscuits
These biscuits are called "buttery" because a) they taste like butter and b) they have a lot of butter in them...both of which is a good thing. Obviously, like all things RALABALA, they are gluten-free.
