Thank you Jenny for your reply! I've been following your progress & you were one of the main persons who I got me to say "if she can do this, so can I!!" so thank you for all your encouragement to so many!!
I'm planning to follow wellnessmama.com eating plan and she says no grains = beans, quinoa, rice, etc is paleo. I just won a 30-day challenge on her site which got me 3 months of coaching so I'm hoping I will figure this all out by the time I'm done with phase 3! But all the paleo & primal diet at marksdailyapple.com sites I've been reading seem to allow is coconut & almond flours so I'm going with that for now
My coach emailed me back and said she didn't hear from the "main office" but to make the muffins I showed her unless she heard differently. So I'm gonna try these tomorrow:
