Paleo Fried Pickles with Ranch Dipping Sauce

Paleo Fried Pickles with Ranch Dipping Sauce

I'm not going to lie. We made these at 10 PM on a Saturday night. The Saturday night before the Super Bowl to be exact. Scott just randomly had the idea to make these and they turned out REALLY good so now we are sharing the recipe!

Down here in the south you can get anything fried. Fried pickles, fried Oreos, fried whatever you want. To be honest, I've never had anything unusual fried. I would rather just stick with my french fries BUT if I were to imagine what a friend pickle tastes like, this is it. 100%. So good.

Next up. Onion rings. We've made them a different way before but I think we will try this exact recipe next time!

They're gluten-free, low-carb, and paleo and clean eating approved.

Paleo Coleslaw

Clean Eating Paleo Coleslaw

When does something officially become an addiction? Asking for a friend.

Introducing our clean eating paleo coleslaw. It takes about 3 minutes to make and we've been making it every. single. weekend. Sometimes we just eat it out of the container in the fridge,  sometimes it doesn't even make it into the fridge, and if we have enough self-control we will wait and eat it with our lean mean cheeseburgers or simple roasted chicken. We've been known to eat it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

You might have to actually grab the bowl out of our hand to make us quit eating it. It's that good.
