Menu Resources

When starting out, I wanted to get a couple new cookbooks to help give me ideas.

 I've started with The Paleo Diet Cookbook by Loren Cordain and Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso. So far, both cookbooks have winners and losers. But both warrant keeping and still using daily. (Next up I plan to purchase Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan.

Another resource I browse daily and have printed out several successful recipes: www.reddit.com/r/paleo. Great information, pictures, and recipes.

And Pinterest as well - I share my recipes, and find others that have gone really well. My pins are at pinterest.com/dragonflyjen/paleo.

Under the Paleo Diet Cookbook, for example, here are some recipes we've tried:

pg 86 Chicken Marsala is great. (I haven't made homemade broth from it yet, just use storebought still)
pg 88 Turkey Burgers - have had twice, I like - everyone else can take it or leave it
pg 98 Beef Tenderloin Roast is good, but what it really did was open my eyes to buying the filet mignon roast and using as rare steaks - now that meat is good! The kale leaves were bitter, and the chopped onion sauce on top I didn't like, so just go for the meat next time lol
pg 100 carne asade with the holy guacamole on pg 100 on lettuce leaves were nummy
pg 102 Beef Bourguignon turned out to be stew when I didn't know, thought it was a roast LOL - had this for jim's birthday and it was really good - would do again
(pg 114 stuffed bell peppers were gross, don't do this one, the one I have pinned we've done 3x now and much better than this one!)
pg 132 the Grilled Snapper Recipe - we like the seasoning, and do it one whatever fish we do (Tilapia or Cod)
pg 138 Diablo Crab Legs - yes please! Was good.
pg 142 Paleo Tilapia Tacos were good.

pg 162 Roasted Baby Squash and Carrots was awesome side dish! We love this one.
pg 170Carb Lovers Cauliflower - is a mashed cauliflower with a zuchini mashed with it (did it in the blender the first time, now use my immersion blender) This is AWESOME! little bit of chicken broth, 6 garlic, so good!
pg 172 eggplant and basil saute was okay - no one else cared for it but jim and I.
(pg 185 the creamy coconut curry that goes on pg 82 coconut cashew chicken was not very good.)
pg 228 baked yam fries are my favorite!!
