Here is another super delicious and easy to prepare recipe and yes, it is Paleo. Don't let that stop you from trying this one out or you will miss a yummy meal. It is not a Chef Rico original although I have personalized it to my touch for my family and guests that I have cooked it for. For that reason it is worth posting.
