Chances are you’ve heard of the Paleo lifestyle/diet. It is no secret that it’s a growing trend, which many around us are embracing. The Paleo lifestyle means eating real food with an emphasis on humanely raised meat, organic vegetables, and good quality fats like organic coconut oil, fats from pasture-raised animals, and grass-fed butter/ghee. That means no grains! And in some cases, depending on which Paleo eater you are talking to, no dairy. The other focus of the Paleo diet is to incorporate organ meats and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha (the latter are for the benefits of probiotics).
I’ve personally heard of many people who’ve been able to put their autoimmune disorders in remission after switching to a Paleo diet. The belief is that disease can start in the gut, so when you remove gut irritating foods like grains, legumes, and dairy, as well as soy and sugar, you can heal your gut and heal your body. I’ve always said if you feel better without eating gluten or grains or dairy (or another food group)…then by all means avoid it!
So today I am excited to introduce some great resources for those interested in trying out a Paleo lifestyle…three books from the bestselling authors and creators of The Food Lovers Kitchen, Bill Staley and Hayley Mason:

In each week, they provide a detailed schedule of the meals to make, shopping lists that go along with the meal plan, and recommended reading to expand your knowledge of this lifestyle beyond the basics.

I would really like the Gather, The Art of Paleo Entertaining. Why, you ask. I've got the Paleo down for my family (gluten/dairy intolerant :( ), but I can't for the life of me please my extended family! Her birthday party will be here soon, and I am more concerned about making her party fit her than everyone else, so I could use the help! (I could use new recipes and real books, anyway!)
Lisa says
I just recvd my coconut oil and flour last week! Made a few things with my daughter and so far, we are loving the new foods minus the fatty oils and grain flours! The Make it Paleo would be a great reference guide in my kitchen

I'd get a lot of use out of Gathering: The art of Paleo entertaining, as I often make meals to share or gift to my new-parent doula clients.

Make it Paleo, I am doing the Whole 30 right now and would love some great recipes to continue my Paleo journey.

I'd enjoy checking out Make if Paleo. I looked at the table of contents on Amazon and there seem to be many recipes even my picky husband would eat! I try to eat semi-paleo / Perfect Health Diet and am always looking for inspiring, "normal" recipes without too many exotic ingredients.
I'm off to download the app, as well!
thanks!
