Our Favorite Paleo Cookbooks Of the Moment
From the early posts on this blog, I had found out that I had a lot of food sensitivities. They make me feel awful, bloated, gassy, tired and more if i eat any of them. I started researching ways to still have good rounded meals without having to consume many of these items. The answer came from eating Paleo meals.
If you don't know what paleo is, it's basically a Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Sugar free way of eating. It’s based on when we were cavemen and how we had no processed foods back then and our stomach still performs optimally if we eat as close to that as possible. That doesn't mean simple boring meals and no treats or baked goods. What it does mean is swapping out items that might be not as good for you with items that are good for you. Some of these include cooking with Coconut or Avocado oil, using ghee instead of butter and nut flours, among others.
What made this switch now almost 7 years ago easier for us was investing in a few amazing cookbooks that showed us how to make some of our favorite meals without all the bad stuff. I am going to give you a quick list of them. These books are on heavy rotation and some of them house our favorite recipes.
