Brussels Sprouts Slaw

As I made this dish from PALEO COMFORT FOODS yet again tonight, I realized I had not yet shared it with YOU!  

Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes

We have been making this recipe almost every week since September when we first received our PALEO COMFORT FOODS recipe book.  This is our favorite breakfast treat and my 6 year old has it almost every day with our new favorite almond butter BARNEY BUTTER, and blueberries.  There are so many Omega-3 rich eggs in this recipe I can hardly feel bad about giving her “pancakes” for breakfast.

Honey Ginger Salmon

This is a salmon dish even my picky 6 year-old liked, probably because of the honey.  Although not strictly Paleo because of the sugar in the honey and the orange juice, I will make this sacrifice if it gets her to eat a whole filet of omega-3 rich salmon!

Shrimp and Broccoli

Prepared this shoot-from-the-hip dinner tonight using what I had on hand and it turned out great.  I had 2 pounds of frozen raw, tail-on shrimp from Costco.  

The Paleo Lunchbox

SARAH over at EVERYDAY PALEO posted about school lunches today.  Check out her post HERE for some great ideas for packing healthy grain-free lunches for your child, as well as product recommendations.

BALSAMIC GARLIC CHICKEN OR PORK

Here’s an easy chicken recipe with ingredients found in every pantry….from Southern Living Magazine, July 2010.   This would also be good with pork chops!
