Paleo

Weekly Meal Plan Week 1 of 2016 and every recipe is not only a  healthy family friendly recipe, but each recipe is also paleo friendly as well as gluten free.  Each featured recipe includes link to complete recipe.

So you have decided to eat Paleo, or maybe you have been and you need some new delicious recipes to try out.  Here are seven paleo friendly recipes that are perfect for the home cook. All the recipes that I have included are easy to make and are family friendly.

What is Paleo? In a nutshell, the Paleo diet is based on the notion that for optimal health, modern humans should go back to eating real, whole unprocessed foods that are more healthful than harmful to our bodies.  I have eaten a mostly paleo version diet for over fifteen years and can attest based on my own personal experience to the effects it has on your mind and body.

Each recipe listed below includes a link to the full recipe and a complete shopping list that includes the ingredients for all the recipes can be found at the end of this post.
