Awesome job Rachel!!

 

As far as the brownies..if it's REALLY driving you nuts..maybe just get one of those single serving brownie things that you nuke, and just eat it slowly. I know if you have a constant craving over a long period, it's better to satisfy it with something small to reduce risk of going crazy.

 

Actually, here's a "paleo" recipe for Strawberry Almond Chocolate Brownies

I don't know what irish butter is, but I'm sure regular butter will do. =)
