I also cook with coconut oil, but do use grass fed butter on occasion.

Follow this link to a recipe for YUM + Good for you + No Cook bars! Great to make up a tray and keep in the freezer for when you want a sweet snack without all of the crazy stuff in it.

This site, Stupid Easy Paleo also has lots of other recipes for those of us who follow a Paleo eating plan, as well as a few other eating plans.

P.S. I add unsweetened shredded coconut to my bars most of the time.

Very similar to the Larabar -- I bet you could add other flavours instead of orange/cacao. What kind of nuts do you use??

Jesse · 08-16-2013, 11:16 PM

It is similar to the Lara bar, but I think it tastes better...maybe because I love the orange with the coconut added.

I use the nuts that are in the house (unless they are company! Lol!), which is usually almonds and walnuts, or pecans even.

How are you doing with the Paleo? Any new awesome recipes to share?

I have a few-- but I'll share more later this weekend. Its time for bed-- early start tomorrow to farmers market.

It's going good-- I've slipped a few times eating a grain or two, but its getting easier to realize what is and isn't Paleo. I thought I would have a hard time with making dinners, but really my issue is breakfast. I always usually ate the same thing but I just can't seem to get the breakfast issue down yet. Any suggestions?

I have found an excellent recipe for "cereal" which I cannot wait to try-- its a nut base with coconut. Let me go find it-- http://jennsraq.com/2013/07/paleo-cereal.html. I can't always eat eggs everyday, doesn't matter how I prepare them, by day 3 I'm done for the week.

I'm not sure if I'm 100 percent Paleo but that's okay-- I'm doing my best. and Karla she's doing pretty good too. Its been harder for her, I think. She misses her bread and other treats. My one thing I really miss is pizza-- <sigh>

I haven't tried any of these yet-- but its a great idea.

Good links AHK!

Here is a cool pic that may help those who are new to Paleo.

P.S. I just saw the part about the sweet potato and disagree with that. Eat the sweet potato if you want it, but limit your intake of it IF you are intentionally trying to drop a few pounds.

"Don't eat unless you are skinny"???

WTH???

That doesn't feel helpful to me. Skinny doesn't equate healthy.

Made these this Sunday and they were absolutely amazing!! I covered mine with fresh blueberries and some plain yogurt and a little bit of maple syrup.

Enjoy.
