So you’ve got the paleo diet bug and are looking for some great paleo recipes?
Me too! I started going almost exclusively paleo a few months ago and I feel great. My allergies are better, I’ve lost weight, my GERD (heartburn) is practically nonexistent (I used to take prilosec every day for the last 15 years!) and I just feel healthier. It really makes so much sense. Its hard to argue why you shouldn’t eat entirely paleo as well. Sure, it takes some adjustment and things like eating out become much more difficult. But that just gives you more of an excuse to buy lots of healthy, organic veggies, fruits and meats and going to town with that grill!
First of all, although the Paleo diet is a relatively new fad (well, except for those cavemen way back when), there are already a handful of good paleo cookbooks out there. I like making up my own paleo recipes or adapting other recipes by substituting paleo ingredients for any non-paleo ingredients. However, I’m also just starting to explore some of these books out there. When first starting a paleo diet, it can seem daunting coming up with good meals to cover every day without getting bored of the same old things. A good recipe book can help stimulate ideas and fill out your menu planning calendar so that you don’t do a “woops” and forget a day and then give up and go to McDonald’s instead (there is NOTHING even remotely paleo at Mickey D’s!)!
One paleo cookbook that my wife picked up that I’ve liked a lot so far is Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook: Real Food for Real Life by Sarah Fragoso. I still have more to explore but I really liked the brined and sauced pork ribs and the pork and apple sliders. Let me know what you think of it!
