Pulled Pork Barbecue
Another great find, when I was figuring out which foods were Paleo and what foods were not Paleo, was barbecued meat! I have enjoyed pork barbecue my whole life, so I decided to see if…

Paleo Costco
Costco is one of those places it is hard to go into and buy only one thing. I had to go on Tuesday night to pick up four pictures I had printed at a price of 52 cents. I was just going to run into…
