A few weeks ago, I was posting about my morning routine on my Facebook page and mentioned my morning "mocha". People seemed to really be into the recipe, so I wanted to be sure to share it with you as well.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Vic's Morning Mocha
4 cups strong black coffee made with 2 tbs of regular and 2 tbs of decaf. I don't think there is anything wrong with full-caffeinated, I'm just very susceptible to
caffeine.
1 square 88% dark chocolate1 tbs Coconut oil1/2 tbs Grass fed butterDashes of cinnamon
Blend at high speed for 30 - 45 seconds

Sweet Potato Hash with Chorizo
So what the hell is chorizo? Chorizo is a seasoned sausage that's common in Mexican and Spanish cuisine. But no worries if you can’t find chorizo, just use any sausage which is free of nasty nitrates and other crap we want to avoid.
Sweet potatoes are usually accepted by the paleo crowd. However my own experience shows that that they are best avoided when trying to lose weight and best used only for occasion indulgence or when you just can’t keep the carb monsters at bay. But your experience may differ - eat at your own delicious risk!

So what’s the surprise? It tastes frickin’ awesome - that’s the surprise! Who would have thought that steak and coffee would be the next peanut butter and jelly? Well, we don’t do peanut butter or jelly with our paleo predilections, so hand over the Coffee Steak Surprise, please.

Sweet Potato Lasagna
Sweet Potato Lasagna! All I can say is yummy! This special treat will have even your non-paleo friends running back to the table for seconds.

Crock-Pot Turkey Meatballs
Turkey meatballs you say? Ok, you got me! Anything that has the word meatball in it, sounds like a winner to me. Possibly because meatballs are one of my all time favorite foods.
Crock-Pot Turkey Meatballs
My friends and I used to walk to a meatball and sausage sandwich shop when we were kids. That shop is still open and I admit to indulging in the deliciousness it has on offer (bread and all!) about once a year. Even with my yearly indulgence, don't worry, there will be no bread in my paleo cookbook!
This recipe takes the standard ground beef and/or sausage meatballs and replaces it with turkey, a slightly leaner meat. It's a fun ...

Paleo Stir Fry: Shrimp Fried “Rice”
The sea taste sometimes haunts us we find ourselved unguarded - well here’s the Paleo Shrimp Stir Fry for you! A very tasty, versatile cuisine that will sure satisfy the belly. It’s super easy to make and is very healthy!
This is a guest contribution from Vic Magary, the author of Easy Caveman Cookbook 2.
Let's face it... cooking can be a pain! Between the time it takes to prep and cook a meal and the time needed to clean up afterwards, cooking can throw a serious monkey wrench in your schedule. That's why I tend to gravitate towards cooking methods that are either fast (stir fry) or hands off (Crock-Pot) and use only one cooking ...

Between the brine preparation and the long cooking time, this recipe is better used for a special weekend meal than for your standard dinners.
