Rosemary Olive Bread–Low Carb

I found this recipe on www.divaliciousrecipes.com

She said it was great toasted the next morning as well, but I’ve made this twice and it’s never lasted until the next morning.

I’d really like to try it toasted sometime, but eating it warm out of the oven with butter is just too great a temptation.

It’s not a particularly large loaf, and she also suggests you can do this in a loaf pan, but I too like the round rustic look.

Zucchini Chocolate Cake

When I found this recipe on lowcarbyum.com she called it the best chocolate cake.
She wasn’t lying.
Truthfully, I prefer this chocolate cake over any chocolate cake I’ve had.  It’s that good!
I’ve tweaked her recipe slightly, adding a bit of cream in place of the 4th cup of zucchini and some butter in place of part of the coconut oil.  All in all it’s a fantastic cake!  You’d never know there’s vegetables in it. So go ahead and sneak it on the kids.
As for the pictures in this post, I’m so embarrassed.  I made this for company and we sliced it while it was a little warm before I iced it.
So the pictures are somewhat crude.  I’ll update with pretty ones the next time I make it.
