Back Porch Paleo

Indulgent Favorites You Crave

Get ready to enjoy the comfort foods your family loves again, thanks to mother-daughter duo Michelle Daniels and Makenna Homer’s Paleo versions of classic recipes.

When Makenna’s health required cutting out grain and dairy, she and her mom re-created all their cherished family recipes with Paleo-friendly ingredients. Whether it’s hearty, nostalgic dishes like biscuits and gravy, bacon-infused mac ’n’ cheese or chicken and dumplings, or their family’s favorite dessert recipes, like DeVona’s Chocolate Pudding Cake, nothing is off-limits, thanks to their shrewd substitutions and smart techniques.

For a quick breakfast on the go, grab a better-for-you baked good like Patsy’s Pumpkin–Chocolate Chip Muffins. Warm up a cold day the gut-friendly way with cozy Creamy Mushroom Poutine or Instant Pot® Mini Sirloin Burger Soup. And don’t forget dessert—after years of testing, Michelle and Makenna have created the perfect Paleo pie crust, which you can enjoy in their Rustic Herbed Cherry Galette.

Each mouthwatering recipe—from Saturday Morning Donuts to Grilled Hawaiian Vibes Pizza and everything in between—is sure to become a favorite at your own family’s table.
