Paleo and Primal Thanksgiving Recipe Roundip

November 20, 2013 by april · Leave a comment

Out of all the holidays, Thanksgiving is my favorite. A holiday centered around family, thankfulness and amazing food is the perfect way to spend time with our loved ones, without all of the hustle and glitz the other holidays seem to encourage.

This is my first time cooking Primal foods for my favorite holiday. And while my family stubbornly refused to give up some of their favorites, I think I have found a happy medium in what to serve. Since this is my first time preparing foods that fit my new way of eating, I turned to the internet and some of my favorite blogs in order to find some proven recipes that would fit in with what I’m used to cooking. Below is my list of what I would like to see gracing my table this year. All of them are either Paleo or Primal from real food bloggers, as well as several of my own personal recipes that I know are winners.

So get ready for a feast for the eyes as well as the taste-buds. Enjoy and have a very blessed Thanksgiving from my family to yours!
