Bring one. Bring all.. Here is the home for Paleo recipes and links to recipes :check:

Let me get this started with Mrs Dub's famous...

Paleo snickerdoodles
Ingredients:
1/4 cup softened/almost melted butter/ ghee / or canna butter
About 20 pitted dates (I just use a whole box of the Champion Dried Fruit dates they sell in Wal-mart)
1/8 tsp powdered stevia leaf extract (optional.. it's sweet enough without this)
1/4 tsp cinnamon + a little to sprinkle
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup almond meal/flour
1/3 cup coconut flour
coconut sugar (optional)

Directions:
No need to preheat the oven yet. Pulse the dates in a food processor until chopped, then puree until it turns into a big ball of date paste. Mix the paste and the butter/ ghee together, and slowly add in all other ingredients. Mix until a nice dough forms. Place teaspoon size balls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet (makes 24). Flatten the balls of dough. Sprinkle tops with a little cinnamon and coconut sugar, and place in the fridge. Now you can preheat the oven to 330. When the oven is ready (mine usually takes about 10 minutes), bake cookies for 10 minutes. They will appear to be slightly under-done when you pull them out. Let them cool completely on the tray before storing. They are best if kept in the fridge.

Piss and Moan(funny story but paleo version of bubble and squeak basically)
1 head of cabbage
2 whole onions
1 lb of ground sausage of choice- I prefer sage based sausages for this recipe
2 tablespoons of smoked paprika
Pink himalayan sea salt and pepper to taste

Cut cabbage into long thin slices like pasta
Cut onion into thin slices
Brown the sausage and add onions
Add the entire head of cabbage and cook all together until soft
Serve and top each bowl with a tablespoon of ghee
The cabbage will amazingly have the texture of buttered pasta with the ghee

Paleo Candy Bars (Paleo Plan)

3 Tbs coconut oil
1 Tbs honey
1/4 cup coco powder
1/2 cup ground nuts
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Melt coconut oil and honey together. Take off heat as soon as coconut oil is melted
Add coco powder and mix well
Add nuts and shredded coconut, mix well
Pour into dish or container and press into shape
Freeze or refrigerate until hardened.
Cut into 4 servings

I usually change recipes to accommodate Eek (or what I have on hand).
Eek has an allergic reaction to nuts sometimes and we use agave instead of honey.
But if I substitute dates for the nuts I can cut out the honey.
And if I make them medibles, I can use canna butter instead of coconut oil.

1/2 cup canna butter
1/4 cup coco powder
1/2 to 3/4 cup coarsely ground dates
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Melt canna butter
Mix in coco powder
Add dates and shredded coconut

I made little blobs like an almond joy, put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes
then store them in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
* they will melt if you hold them too long.
