Top 14 Paleo Recipes of 2014

Happy New Year! As we ring in 2015, I’ve been looking back at 2014 and taking stock of everything including this blog. Yesterday I shared with you my top 10 blog posts of the last year, and it was clear that my recipes are some of the most popular content on This West Coast Mommy. So I dug a little deeper and gathered the top 14 most viewed recipes of 2014 to share with you. Interestingly, eight of last year’s Top Ten list are on this list too. I love that these older recipes are still going strong, even with some less than stellar pictures.

All my recipes are gluten-free and paleo-friendly, most are dairy-free, and many are Whole30 compliant or can be made so with minor accommodations. But most importantly, they’re all family-tested and kid-approved. Nothing here requires hours of prep or a long list of costly or hard-to-find ingredients. If I can’t cook it while juggling two spirited kids and blogging, you won’t find it here!

Scroll down to find the links to each recipe and see what inspires you. Enjoy!
