Top 10 Paleo Recipes of 2016

As we kick off another new year, I’ve been looking back at some of my most popular posts of 2016 here on This West Coast Mommy. As usual, my recipes continue to be some of the most frequently read and shared content, including some older ones from way back. That’s why for the fourth year in a row, I’ve put together this list of my most popular recipes of the year. (If you’re curious, you can also check out my Top 10 Paleo Recipes of 2013, Top 14 Recipes of 2014, and Top 10 Paleo Recipes of 2015.)

Check out my top 10 paleo, gluten-free recipes of the year and see what inspires you!

All the top recipes for 2016 are gluten-free, and most are dairy-free and paleo-friendly. For anyone starting a Whole30 challenge this January, many are Whole30 compliant or can be made so with minor accommodations. Scroll down to find the links to each recipe and see what inspires you!
