Day 3 - Looked forward to dinner all day

Pretty awesome day. Wasn't as hungry today as yesterday. Could tell my body has started to shed water, was visiting the bathroom quite frequently. Yeah I know, TMI right? And someone tempted me with some not so Paleo treat and I couldn't resist. I had a piece of Sees dark chocolate with almonds in it. Not the worst thing I could have eaten, but I know it wasn't super dark chocolate. I did though nibble little bits off and savored it.

I found a recipe I had to try, I think it will be perfect for breakfast. I found this on Paleo Plan and mixed it up, letting it bake while we ate dinner. I think it's great, though I did add to the recipe a tiny bit by adding a splash of coconut milk to thin up the batter a bit. I took a nip and it's fantastic. I also think it would be easy to add veggies to this as well. Here's the link Paleo Plan Coconut Bread.
Came out great!

Last night I made a homemade BBQ sauce to put in the crock pot with some pork short ribs in the morning. It was fantastic.

Then I salt and peppered the pork ribs this morning, put them on the bottom of the crock and poured on the sauce. Kept it on low all day (about 8 hours). Perfect dinner!

Here's the directions:
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add on chopped onion and cook until soft. Add 5 minced garlic cloves, then add 1 cup of broth (I use chicken), 1 6oz jar of tomato paste, 1 teaspon dry mustard powder, 1 TB molasses, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon apple cider  vinegar and a dash of agave nectar. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
