I share a lot of Paleo recipes because that’s what I eat. But the truth is, it’s not so much about eating like the cavemen did (to be honest, I could care less about what they ate!), but about eating good, clean food that nourishes our bodies.
I eat grain-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and refined sugar-free because I feel better this way. “Paleo” isn’t a diet to me. It’s a way of life.
That might be different for you.
Either way, if you’ve avoided a recipe because it’s “Paleo” and you think that’s “diet food”, you’re missing out. Paleo food is incredibly flavorful and food the whole family will love. Because it’s not just for adults who want to be healthier or skinnier. It’s GOOD food.
So while you’re considering that, take a look at some of these delicious Paleo family dinner recipes.

We haven’t gone full Paleo, but have adopted a clean eating lifestyle (well mostly). The popcorn at Deadpool yesterday was our cheat this week.
