There's a lot of great paleo content on the web today. There's also a lot of recipes that are not marketed as paleo, but do fit a paleo lifestyle. The idea of this blog is to provide you with great YouTube recipes that are compatible with the paleo lifestyle.

I myself, for example, eat grain free, except for white rice; eat legumes very rarely; eat a substantial amount of dairy (full fat yoghurts and cheese) when I feel like it and because I tolerate it; binge-eat potatoes when I exercise a lot. But this of course does not fit everyone's lifestyle, compatibilities, and preferences. So, I've tagged each recipe with the relevant food so you can select your favorite recipes yourself.

Enjoy!

Kale Hash / Boerenkoolstamppot

As I'm a Dutch guy living in the Netherlands doing paleo I get a lot of questions from my friends who get all confused when I explain the basics of the paleo diet. Of course the main source of cognitive dissonance for Dutch people is that the paleo diet rejects bread. That's a pretty difficult aspect of the paleo diet for Dutch people as in the Netherlands it's common to eat breakfast twice a day (breakfast and lunch) involving cereal, and lots of bread with sweet and chocolate toppings. Oh well...

What's more easy to get across is that a majority of Dutch cuisine is compatible with paleo. In today's multicultural Holland, the good old potatoes-meat-vegetables dishes are in retreat. And rightly so, because there's a lot of food from all over the world that's tasty and nutritious, so why not eat it?


Anyhow, a traditional winter dish in the Netherlands are hashes of potato and one or more vegetables. A classical Dutch hash is Kale Hash or Boerenkoolstamppot, which is perfectly compatible with the paleo diet. In my opinion the milk can be excluded, just add more butter and optional water when too dry. This version doesn't have fried bacon cubes, so it's obligatory to add it to the mix. Otherwise the Dutch food police might track you down and throw you in jail! Enjoy! ;)

Chicken and pineapple - Filipino style

While browsing YouTube I found this great Filipino cuisine channel. Pininyahang Manok is supposedly a famous dish from the Philippines. A very easy to prepare dish with chicken and pineapple as its signature ingredients. Look for canned pineapple with no sugar added or use fresh pineapple.

Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs - Deviled Eggs with Crab Recipe by chef John/Food Wishes

Chef John is a funny chef from San Francisco, who does a lot of mainstream cooking, but is so fun to watch that it makes sense for me to distill out the paleo compatible goodness from his repertoire.



Eggplant Parmigiana by Gianni

Gianni is an Italian-American guy from San Francisco who does some great Italian cooking on YouTube. He makes some great paleo recipes when you avoid his (although great looking) pastas, pizzas, and stuffed noodles.

In his Eggplant Parmigiani you just have to substitute the suggested canola oil for olive oil and you're good to go!
