Almond Meal Blueberry Pancakes

This pancake recipe is courtesy of Everyday Paleo, by Sarah Fragoso. I am currently obsessed with this cookbook. The recipes are pretty quick, easy, and delicious! I highly recommend getting this book as a staple on your household cookbook shelf.

Paleo Food List

This list was taken from a Paleo friendly cookbook, Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso and Robb Wolfe. It's a great cookbook with recipes that are quick, easy, and incredibly delicious. She even has a focus on the family with her "turkey roll-ups" and "kids love cabbage slaw" that are sure to get our kids eating better. I highly recommend her book if you are wanting to go Paleo and needing some more inspiration. :)

Here is the list of foods that Sarah believes you should keep in your house:

IN YOUR PANTRY

Coconut milk

Canned organic diced tomatoes (no salt added)

Organic tomato paste

Organic free-range gluten-free chicken broth (Trader Joe’s carries a great brand)

Coconut flakes (keep in the fridge after you open them)

Coconut flour

Almond meal

Raw almonds

Raw pecans

Raw walnuts (all nuts actually keep better in the freezer after you open the bag)
