I have to say that in addition to remarkable weight loss and performance improvements, the July paleo nutrition challenge at CrossFit Long Beach also brought some amazing recipes to light. Melissa made yet another amazing snack for us - pumpkin bread! She said it was very easy to make and I can vouch for its tastiness.
