If so, you can still make this yummy oven roasted mushrooms with your cooking fat/oil of choice! All right, enough blabber, here’s my super easy Oven Roasted Mushrooms recipe!

Can cookies be paleo? Probably not really. But, so what? Sometimes you want to have one or there’s an occasion (think birthday, etc.) and you would like one as paleo as you can get it. What does that even mean? It means, with more REAL ingredients, and less of that overly processed crap you get when you just buy cookies at Walmart. For example, these cookies are either made with coconut flour or almond flour/meal as base, and honey as sweetener. I’ve assembled my paleo cookies recipe list, and here it is!
