Thanks to everyone who participated in the Dessert Challenge of our Spring Break Paleo Survival Challenge.  The coaching staff was honestly overwhelmed by the number of desserts that were entered into the contest.  We were snacking on the entries for about 5 days straight, so a HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time to prepare a dessert for judging.  We will be posting all the recipes for the desserts entered tomorrow so stay tuned for some delicious ideas!!!
