This paleo chili stores great in the fridge and is perfect to package in lunch-sized containers and take to work. And it really is super easy to make - brown the ground beef and throw everything else in the crockpot and then wait. Yeah, the waiting part kind of sucks if you're a chili fan like myself... but it is definitely worth the wait! The best part? It's 100% paleo.

Barbecue Chicken Breasts
Barbecue sauce... so good but so bad. There may be nothing better slathered over meat on the grill, but nearly any store bought variety will have high fructose corn syrup as a main ingredient. And if not that dreaded substance, then some other form of sugar. Now admittedly, this recipe does have some sugar in the form of honey and orange juice. But you can reduce or eliminate the quantity of either to your personal preference. Personally I think this barbecue sauce is a great middle ground between sweet deliciousness and not spiking your blood sugar like you just ate a pint of ice cream.

Jumpin’ Jumbalaya
I know, I know... Jumbalaya is usually served over rice. If you want to make some cauliflower "rice" to go with this recipe, go for it. Personally I just eat this stuff as-is in a bowl without rice or rice substitute. Also, jumbalaya traditionally uses andouille sausage which is a spicy smoked sausage. I've kept the andouille sausage in the recipe but I know that will bother some paleo purists due to the potential for unnatural ingredients (smoke flavoring, synthetic casing, etc.). So if you have a source for all natural sausage that you prefer (U.S. Wellness Meats perhaps), feel free to make the ...

Grilled Asian Tuna is highly encourage when you’re undertaking a Paleo diet plan. Tunas are equally well-established as important source of omega-3.

Plum Pork Chops
Pork chops + plum. Sounds great right? Well, it gets a little messy. I'll tell you right now, the plum will not chop up into pretty little pieces. It's going to end up more like mashed plum and that's just fine. Add more cinnamon if that flavor appeals to you - it can be a nice compliment to the sweetness of the plum and pineapple juice.

Great Goulash
Goulash is a traditional Hungarian dish that is usually served with egg noodles. But as much as we love eggs, we don't do noodles around here (so go with a veggie side instead). Goulash also usually has a thicker texture than what this recipe will produce due to the exclusion of cornstarch or flour. But don't worry – the flavor is still there! If you can find Hungarian sweet paprika, be sure to use it but you can just use the stuff at your local grocery store too.

2 lbs Stew meat ((Go for either beef or buffalo. Hell use venison if you’re the huntin’ type.))1 yellow onion ((large, ...
