I'll have to see if the local book store carries Practical Paleo. I've tried some of Everyday Paleo from her website and it has been hit or miss, but I'll look that one up too.
I think we are more on the Primal side of paleo. We do some dairy, mostly in the form of homemade ice cream once a week and cheese once in awhile. We started out low carb then went paleo for health reasons. It really has cleaned up a lot of health issues for us and we lost weight to boot. We decided that we won't ever go back, although I have a sugar/chocolate addiction I need to kick.
I don't miss bread too much. I have a tapioca bread recipe (not really bread more of a drop biscuit) and a pizza crust recipe that fill the gap. I miss eating fruit whenever I want. I have found out that I need to be careful with fruit or I gain weight (see sugar addiction above).
I found that to keep from getting bored I had to come up with a menu. I rotate through about 2 months of meals before we repeat, slipping in new recipes now and again.
My current favorite book is Primal Cravings from the Health-Bent website. We also enjoy Eat Like a Dinosaur from Paleo Parents. I've also collected recipes from PaleOMG, civilized caveman cooking creations, and primalpalate. If you want I can share recipes that we have really enjoyed.
I like the Paleo Parent website, but I haven't tried any of their recipes. For the most part, I've been doing all Practical Paleo for the past three months. Tonight's mustard glazed chicken thighs are one of my big rotation meals. I usually sautee up some spinach to go with, but I had some fresh squash that I steamed instead. We did a family sized pack of thighs, so there was enough for three people plus some left over to shred up to go on top of salads for lunch. IMO, it's one of those things that taste a lot better the second day.
Ooooh, cheese. I don't trust myself with dairy right now because I'm afraid of falling headfirst into the cheese aisle and undoing three months' worth of hard work. Shove pastries and candy in front of my face and I don't blink. Waft a bit of fresh baked bread and the promise of melty cheese and I'm a gonner, lol.
