Dino-Chow

UPDATE: January 4, 2010
This post originally went up in June 2009 and a lot has changed in the online paleo world since then. I’ve updated the list below with new recipe links so you have no excuse for eating garbage. For real.

OK! I will! Just don’t call me paleo… ’round our house, we call it “Dino-Chow.” (Yes, we know there were no dinosaurs in the Paleolithic Era. Just go with the humor, K?)

I’ve collected all of my own dino-chow recipes on one page. 
Click right here for all the dino-chow deliciousness. 

But variety really is the spice of life, so here are more sources for paleo recipes. As always, read the ingredients carefully to make sure the authors’ version of paleo or clean eating or Whole30 or whatever-you-want-to-call-it aligns with yours. Wishing you many happy kitchen adventures!
