Now that we've officially entered 2012, it's time to reflect upon 2011. Last year there were some recipes that really stood out at Paleo Plan.

Trying to figure out what to make for Christmas, Christmas Eve, or some other holiday dinner? Have no fear - I have it all planned out for you. Even if your guests aren't Paleo, they'll love what you've made for them if you follow these recipes.

Or what you'll do with the caché of candy your own kids come home with on that dreaded of all Paleo days.

Some holidays are more manageable: I've made completely Paleo friendly turkey feasts, and Christmas is much the same. … Continue reading
