Friday Five: food blogs you should be following

In the spirit of the blog's facelift, I'd like to share five Paleo-ish food blogs that everyone should be following (if you're not already). You don't have to eat Paleo to appreciate the recipes you'll find here. Delicious is delicious, no matter what kind of meal plan you follow.

1. Nom Nom Paleo: An amazing blog with lots of tasty recipes and beautiful food photography. If you happen to have an iPad, you're in luck--the Nom Nom app is equally amazing. Seriously, if my roommate's iPad ever goes missing, she'll only have to look as far as my thieving hands...
2. PaleOMG: The highlight for me here is all of the Paleo-friendly (or Paleo-ish) dessert options. Like the sweet potato brownies that I plan on making this weekend. And the sweet potato ice cream I want to make to go with the brownies. And the triple chocolate truffles I plan on making for Christmas goodie bags...and well, a lot of other stuff.
3. Civilized Caveman: This guy is pretty amazing, too. He's got some great ideas for meats, crock-pot meals, and...wait for it...pumpkin butter cups.  I'm not even going to lie. I ended up making these for a Halloween party...and have made variations on them every week since. If I hit a plateau, these bad boys will be the sole reason.
4. Against All Grain: I'm fairly new to this one, but I've loved everything I've seen on the blog thus far. The blog is good for a variety of restrictive diets, namely ones that benefit those with Crohns' disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease and autism. 
5. Balanced Bites: Diane Sanfilippo, one of the blog contributors, wrote Practical Paleo. So you know I love this website.

 Happy Friday! And happy reading!
