Few meals say “comfort food” like beef stew. And if you skip the potatoes, and serve with a side salad of mixed greens, you’ll have a great meal that doesn’t pack on the pounds, while still giving you that belly full of comfort that feels so good especially in the chilly fall and winter months. This is a bare bones basic version of beef stew, so feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as green beans (my favorite addition), broccoli, cauliflower, or (gasp) potatoes.

Caveman Coffee Cereal
Wait a minute! Cereal is NOT paleo (or primal or caveman or whateveryouwannacallit). But this "cereal" has no grains. I'm talking no Corn Flakes, no Wheaties, and no Rice Puffs. What it does contain though is a hell of a lot of nuts, and it's not something I would recommend as your regular first meal of the day. But for the occasional indulgence and flashback to that bowl of happiness you used to pour as a kid before sitting down to watch Saturday morning cartoons, there are worse options.

Fall Off The Bone Beef Short Ribs
Few things make eating feel more caveman-like than devouring cooked flesh while it's still on the bone. But, let's face it, sometimes that can get a bit messy, and our more civilized selves may appreciate our beloved protein source being removed from the skeletal structure. This Fall Off The Bone Beef Short Ribs recipe lets you have the best of both worlds! Much of the meat will naturally fall away from the bone through the cooking process, but there will still be a few delicious morsels that cling to the bone waiting to be removed by your teeth.

It is made from organic ingredients that are proven to be healthy that makesyour foodventure guilt free. So the question goes, ...

Spicy Asian Lettuce Wraps
Many people new to the paleo diet miss the beloved sandwich. Whether it's the childhood fondness of mom's peanut butter sandwich, or that huge submarine sandwich that you used to have at your local pub with friends, a pining for the warm and fuzzies attached to the sandwich is understandable. But if there is one thing that us paleo folks absolutely do not give in to, it's the gluten goblin of bread! Instead, we wrap our meat and veggies in lettuce leaves for the closest thing to a sandwich that a hunter-gatherer can make. And the spicy Asian-style flavor of these lettuce wraps are so delicious, you'll be happy to let the sandwich go the way ...

Grilled Lemon Pepper Salmon
If you love salmon, especially salmon on the grill, this Grilled Lemon Pepper Salmon recipe will hit the spot!
You could get fancy, or lazy, and buy a pre-made lemon pepper seasoning, but I prefer to do it myself. In this post, I'll show you how to quickly and easily make your own lemon pepper seasoning with fresh lemon zest, so whether you consider yourself fancy or lazy, you can still be either one without much effort.
You see, I hate to do the dishes, so I just add the seasonings right onto my salmon instead of trying to mix them in a bowl first. I honestly just eyeball things until I think, “Yep, the fish looks seasoned!” Therefore, ...

How Do You Like Them Baked Apples?
If you're craving something sweet, but want to keep it somewhat healthy, be sure to try these easy baked apples. And by "baked", I mean we are going to use my beloved Crock-Pot. You can use any kind of apples that you like, but Macintosh apples are my favorite for this recipe. This is the perfect treat when the cool temperatures of autumn start to roll in. And pssst! A tablespoon or three of brown sugar added to the nut mixture may or may not tip things into the next realm of deliciousness. Don’t tell the Paleo Police I told you.

How To Make A Green Smoothie
This is a contribution from Vic Magary of GreenSmoothieRecipeBook.com. Be sure to get his Top 5 Green Smoothie Recipes by clicking here.
As a paleo diet fan, you likely eat more vegetables than most people. Broccoli and asparagus are probably in your regular meal rotation. And the leafy greens of spinach and kale also show up on your dinner table from time to time. But what about other leafy greens such as chard, collards, turnips, or even carrot greens?
Many of us duck away from eating a wide variety of greens for one simple reason - they taste bitter as hell. We know they pack a serious vitamin and ...

Breakfast Apple Hash
Yes, bacon is awesome! But as awesome as it is, you have to keep your guard up.
Sugar is a common additive to bacon (look out for any ingredient with "-ose" at the end, such as dextrose), and making sure your bacon is nitrate-free should go without saying. For awesome UPG-approved bacon, check out U.S. Wellness Meats.
Now that my bacon disclaimer is out of the way...this recipe is delicious!

Italian Pan-Seared Steak And Mashed Non-Potatoes
It's a two for one special! Yep, two recipes in one post that go great together. The delicious potato is often the black sheep of the Paleo diet in that it's hard to ignore that the potato is a natural food with no other ingredients that grows from the ground, yet not too many people want them around. So if you typically pass on the potatoes, this combo recipe includes a delicious cauliflower substitute. But let's not forget about the steak! Thinly sliced with an Italian-style flair, this might just become one of your new favorite ways to cook steak.
