Thank you to the Paleo Mom for sending me a review copy of The Paleo Approach Cookbook; this recipe comes from her cookbook! The book is a wonderful resource, especially for those with autoimmune disease who need more Paleo recipes. I’m all about wraps these days. Chicken salad wraps, mexican wraps, and now pork shoulder wraps! They’re so perfect for lunch because of their portability. Wraps actually inspired me to start a Joint Company of Paleo-friendly Concessions, called Bravo For Vive. We will be featuring chicken salad and BBQ pork wraps that are completely Paleo and really delicious. After making this recipe from The Paleo Mom’s cookbook, I had to figure out how to eat it. It’s a basic slow-cooked pork shoulder recipe, so I figured adding some sweetness to it would be delicious. I cut up some fresh peaches I bought at the Farmer’s Market this weekend and placed it in a lettuce wrap. …

Paleo Chicken Stir Fry Recipe
I used to be big on hibachi! I dreamt about fried rice covered in soy sauce. Luckily, I found some replacements to my old ways. This recipe is one that brings the Asian flavors but is healthy and delicious. It’s a Paleo Chicken Stir Fry.
What’s the problem with soy you ask? Well here’s the weird thing. When you consume soy, it actually mimics the hormone estrogen. Estrogen is what makes females feminine. So if you are a male, and you are consuming tons of soy products, your testosterone is being suppressed and your body is using all that soy as estrogen. Here’s a true story, when making the movie The Help (which is one of my top 3 favorite movies), the actress Jessica Chastain was asked to gain weight. In order to make her curvy and feminine, she consumed excessive amounts of soy! And it worked, she has such a curvy figure in the movie! Scared of soy now, boys?

Paleo Chicken Salad Wraps
Some recipes are just too good not to share. These Paleo Chicken Salad Wraps are one of those recipes. It’d just be wrong for me to keep this recipe to myself.
As some of you know, I worked for Laura Fuentes at MOMables last summer. I like to say she gave me the “Blogging for Dummies” course. She had it down, but she needed an intern and I wanted to learn. It was such a fun experience, and now whenever I’m in town I must visit for Bulletproof Coffee or a Paleo treat together. We both love healthy food, blogging, and coffee. A lot.
This recipe idea came from her, she has a staple chicken salad recipe that she makes weekly, and we get really creative with 100 million ways we can eat it. After finding these completely Paleo wraps, we decided to stuff them with her chicken salad. It was deeelicious. I love all different kinds of chicken salad. I actually have another Chicken Salad Recipe on my blog, which is a bit more complicated. This one that I’ll share today is much easier and perfect to make each week. …
