What is your favorite primal / paleo "junk" food? page

[Fitness Wayne]

I used to feel deprived all the time when I was eating healthy. Lately I have discovered a few fully paleo compliant "junk food" replacement recipes that have made my diet so much more enjoyable. When I eat them I get all the temporary enjoyment from eating these recipes and afterwards I don't feel guilty, in fact I feel good because I ate healthy food.

So right now my two favorite recipes are paleo sweet potato fries and also paleo tortilla chips with guacamole. I eat each of these at least once a week.

Right now I can't wait to discover more primal replacements for junk foods I used to enjoy. Please share any recipes (with links) of your favorite primal or paleo junk foods. I hope to get some good ideas from all of you. I am hoping to get an ice cream maker for Christmas, so I plan to be making paleo ice cream soon. If anyone knows a good replacement for ketchup to put on sweet potato fries, please let me know.

it depends on the time of year for me...

summer: coconut milk ice cream
fall: nuts and nut butters with apples
winter: greek yogurt, or more nut butters
spring: see the year round
year round: pepperoni/salami, olives, cheeses

Tostones fried in coconut oil. Or palm shortening. With salsa and guacamole. And sour cream.

I love mixing raw cocoa powder, water, and coconut oil; to make a fantastic fudge substitute.

Wayne - if you're interested in some condiments (such as ketchup), there are many sources. I have heard very good things about the book, "Well Fed", which is a paleo cook book; though I'm sure most of us here have heard of it. Also, this website (Homemade Paleo Condiments | Paleo Diet Lifestyle) has several condiment recipes as well. Good luck!

Home-made chocolate. 100% coconut oil and cocoa bean, with a dash of honey and, in my case, some nuts and dried fruit.
Not only is it Paleo/Primal and not bad for you, it's technically GOOD for you.
