Birthday Brownies

Today is Nolan Ryan's birthday, which in my book is a good enough reason to bake paleo brownies and celebrate. If you don't know who he is, look him up. You probably won't be that impressed and, truth be told, if it weren't for Adam, I would have no idea who he was, either. And I probably would have never heard of him....ever.
Nevertheless, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOLAN!!
