Change My World Paleo Recipes

If I haven't posted it before my friend Jess and her Husband made a blog where she posts her grocery list and the recipes for that week..and they are ALL Paleo, so if you're really wanting to do the Paleo diet, and I strongly encourage that you do, it is so healthy for you and so good, check out their site, they have a wealth of information including other great Paleo sites that have recipes etc.

I don't completely follow the paelo diet because well I like grains and beans, both of which are cheap and make me feel full and with us scrimping every penny we have to be careful about how much we spend on groceries..because it's sooooo easy to overspend! especially going into cool stores like WholeFoods..

My favorite thing about Jess, she usually posts very simple recipes..she doesn't get much into the overly complicated ones. I have said it before I am a huge fan of healthy but easy..and preferably quick.

Rice substitute for Paleo diet

For those of your wanting to stick closer to the Paleo diet try crumbling up cauliflower and steaming..works great as a rice substitute.
