The Paleo Guide to Dark Chocolate
Written with dark chocolate all over my face in Cerritos, CA
It’s hard for me to even write this post. Just thinking about dark chocolate makes me go all weak in the knees. It’s safe to say that if dark chocolate had fingers, I’d go Beyoncé and put a ring on it. Truth be told, dark chocolate is definitely my guilty pleasure and probably my biggest vice, even on the paleo diet. I’ve been known to eat it for breakfast, eat it while in the shower, and even dip it into jars of coconut oil and eat it like that (thanks, David Millar).
This post is dedicated to all the dark chocolate lovers out there and to the reasons that we should eat more ...

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I recently came across this recipe for Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies on Running To The Kitchen. I was so impressed that I wanted to share it with you because these cookies are definitely going on my “staple cookie” list to be made time and time again. I strongly encourage you to add them to yours!
I did make a few minor changes.
I doubled the recipe because this one only makes 8 cookies, and I simply cannot survive with only 8 of these delicious bites! I mean, 8? What?! We’re gonna need more than 8 cookies for this holiday season.
Also, I made the cookies a touch smaller. This change resulted in twice the amount of cookies as well as ...
