Paleo Cooking: A Review of Paleo Cookbooks
As most of you know, I follow the Paleo diet due to dietary restrictions (dairy and legume intolerance, wheat allergy) as well as a general care for my own health and wanting to make sure Asa doesn’t have issues breastfeeding, since certain non-Paleo foods definitely affect him as well. Since we now live with my parents, who also follow the Paleo diet, I realized that my mom and I have a very nice stack of Paleo cookbooks to use, and I thought it might be nice to rate each one, for any of you who might be looking to buy a Paleo cookbook but don’t know which one to go…

Quick Recipe: Indian-inspired Paleo Coconut Chicken
I was going to share a makeup tutorial/update with you today, but I partially don’t have time to do the editing, and also… I just made myself lunch and you guys: I am a good cook. If I do say so myself. Haha! And this was so good, I just had to share. So forgive the iPhone picture; I wasn’t planning on blogging my lunch today. I finally finished up looking through all of my cookbooks for Paleo-friendly recipes (or recipes that can be easily made Paleo), and the one I ended on was Indian food. So today when I got home from Bible study, of course… I wanted Indian…
