Paleo Diet Recipes-More Than Just Salad and Chicken

Let me just start out by saying that the Paleo Diet has been a big deal for me.   I am a believer in this way of life and eating and have been experimenting with and collecting various paleo diet recipes.   I have been eating this way since early 2009 and very rarely fall back to eating neolithic. Well, maybe a little pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and other special occasions.  Other than that I pretty much stick to paleo.  The good news is that there are some really tasty paleo diet recipes that make pretty awesome desserts.

But for now, here is one of the first paleo diet recipes I ever made. Its a very basic recipe, and one that I prepare quite often. Here are the ingredients for The Basic Paleo Pancake breakfast:

1 cup almond flour (finely ground and blanched is best)
3 eggs
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
blueberries or diced apples (optional)

Mix all ingredients together, and cook the pancakes as usual.  I cook them in safflower oil.  This recipe makes about three or four 5″ diameter pancakes. Adjust the quantities proportionally if you need to make a bigger batch.

Sometimes, eating paleo can be challenging. The diet itself is very basic, but creating delicious meals can sometimes be difficult, especially if you are in a hurry. The Paleo Diet Cookbooks are a great resource of new and interesting caveman cuisine!   Each of the Paleo Cookbooks contain 120 recipes! All of the recipes are gluten-free, preservative-free, and dairy-free.  Each recipe comes with a full color photo so you can see what the meal looks like.

I try to eat paleo as much as I can, but on occasion will revert to eating neolithic…like at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’m fine with that!  However, I don’t nearly eat as much pie and desserts as much as I used to before I started living the paleo lifestyle.   The great news is that I have just discovered some new paleo pumkin pie recipes and will be trying these soon.

The thing about living paleo is that it might take a little while for your body to adjust.  At first, you may feel lethargic or tired.  This is just your body going through detox and it is normal.  It will soon pass and you will be on your way to feeling like superman in no time.

Here is a good video which summarizes a day in the life of a caveman…not strict caveman, but still pretty awesome!     Makes me hungry!

    Oh these pancakes are great and to make them with paleo is a mega bonus. I really love when diet and luxuries are mixed together. Thanks for this easy recipe.

  • Looks jummi :) I will definitely try it. Thanks for the recipe.

  • Great blog and post cheers. How long has this site been running now? The only thing is I seem to be having some technical difficulties getting to your RSS feed though. Brokerage Review

  • Louise Williams from Beauty Tips For Face:

    This recipe is delicious, I tested it out last night! I’ve been researching the paleo diet ever since I discovered it a few months back. I’ve pretty much decided that I was going to do it, but there are 3 things that I was worried about missing, and they are bread, pasta and pancakes… but thanks to this paleo pancake recipe I don’t have to worry about missing pancakes anymore – thank you! :D

  • Graham from LCD enclosure:

    I have been looking into the paleo diet and seeing this recipe it has inspired me to give it a try, I will report back soon (hopefully) with good news!

  • Jim:

    Paleo diets are making something of a comeback. Diets such as Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint and the Paleo Solution both have been on the bestseller list over recent months.

    However I will point out that some products (such as the Almond flour listed above) are very hard to find…

  • Hehe, Popeye spinach?! Awesome! Can’t find such things in here where I live.
    I love pancakes, though I don’t think they are dietary.. And cheeseburger too(or that was low fat meat?).. I will try though ;)
    Damn.. I want to eat now..

    Would love to see pumpkin pie recipes! I have few pumpkins from my “kitchen garden” (if that is the right word for it).

  • Great blog. I’ve been looking at the paleo diet and really like the sound of your breakfast pancakes.

  • great recipe. Will try it right away. And i really need some diet. Thanks for the share

  • Jack from walking tours ny:

    Brilliant video. Hmm, i need to go paleo ASAP otherwise i will lose my appetite for life. After watching the video i kinda started drooling over my keyboard :) I think it will be tough at the begging but as you said, later i’ll get to be Superman (at least Batman). Great work and advices. Cheers !

  • naz from Viners:

    To be honest, I had little idea of what a paleo diet is. I went thrugh the website link that you provided in your write up. I guess it does make sense that going back to the diet of our forefathers’ forefathers (who were hunter- gatherers) can make a difference to our health. After all, its a known fact that in the earlier ages, people lived longer and suffered fewer diseases than we do. The modern diet is full of not so natural products that have a long term effect on our body. I will have to learn more about the paleo dietary recipes. Thanks

  • Great recepies :) 10-x

  • thank u for mosting that!!!!! i like that Paleo Diet Recipes… nice shot!!

  • marcin from Computer Repair:

    I just tried new your salad. Delicious migh just become my new feavorite.

  • This really is a great blog. I just saw your post on the brocolli and pinenut soup, and I’m feeling inspired! You’ve definitely opened my eyes to the Paleo diet. Its always made sense to me to eat what our bodies are naturally meant to consume, but I never knew there was a specific diet that targetted these views. Thanks!

  • Mike from gaz pieprzowy:

    It think paleo diet is one of the best I ever had. It’s simple but very effective and healthy. You’ll always miss sugar and all related products but in time (and better health and body) you’ll get to know that’s the best for you. Anyway great recipe. Thanks for sharing

  • diet foods that are nutritious would be the best for our bodies, most diet foods are not very nutritious -;.

  • Its really looking good and yummy. I was looking for something like this, thanks for the recipe. I will definitely going to try this on weekend.

  • Wilks:

    if u can read what’s in it it’s not paleo dude!

    Dairy ain’t paleo…. whey protein? cottage cheese.. CREAM… gimme a break!

    peatnuts are legumes (not paleo)

    not strict caveman?

    NOT caveman!

    haha… I’m not angry… but eat for need.. not for love… it makes life a lot easier!

    ie. feed ur BODY not ur emotions!

    BTW… this dude is an eating machine!… ;p

  • While I don’t follow a completely strict paleo diet, I do tend to follow the vast majority of the principles. Once every couple of weeks I have a big blowout and eat whatever I like just to shock my body, but on the whole I look and feel so much better when I stick to strict paleo style eating.

    Those pancakes look delicious though and will be something I have to try very soon. Excellent resource you have here!

  • I take care a lot about what I cook because I don’t want to gain weight, so I think this receipt can be both useful and something to alternate my quite common meals. Will definitely give it a try, thank you!
