    Want to find out my 10 favorite recipes from my five years of food blogging?

    It's Do You Even Paleo's five year anniversary! Seemed like the perfect time to go back through my recipes and root out which ones I'm ride or die with.

    From pulled pork to my favorite kale recipe of all time and the treats I enjoy in between, this top 10 list certainly has variety!

    Happy Fifth Birthday, DYEP!

    Five years ago, I started DoYouEvenPaleo.net as a creative outlet.

    Ever interested in blogging, I had tried before and never stuck with it. But when I started the long and much-needed process of overhauling my life, I thought that jumping into the paleo blogging community would help push me along.

    And it did! My big life overhaul led to mega growth and a happier, more confident me.

    Along the way, I've published hundreds of recipes. Seriously, I'm too lazy to even go back and count the total — I just know it's a LOT.

    Originally, I picked out about 20 recipes as contenders for the list. Then I had to pare it down, which was one helluva challenge. By the end, I had to go through and as myself which recipes I would make over and over again without getting bored — the recipes I would be less happy having never made.

    Frankly, I enjoy every. single. recipe. I publish. I eat them all, I faun over them all. If I don't like a recipe or I'm not willing to make it again, it doesn't get published. Plain and simple!

    So widdling it down to a top 10 was definitely difficult. But I managed.

    Before we get into the list, though... Do YOU have a favorite recipe from Do You Even Paleo? I'd love it if you hopped in the comments to let me know what it is!

    My 10 Favorite Recipes from 5 Years of Food Blogging

    After 5 years of food blogging and hundreds of recipes, I picked out my 10 personal favorites!

    Dry-Rubbed Crockpot Pulled Pork

    I knew right away this would be at the top of this list! This recipe is so stinkin' simple and insanely delicious. My father-in-law claims that this is the best pulled pork he's ever had.

    Mocha Avocado Cream Pie

    This pie is a go-to for me! It's got only a few ingredients and it's SO rich and creamy. Bring this to a summer potluck and no one would guess that they're eating avocados!

    Warm Winter Kale and Delicata Squash Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

    This salad made me REALLY fall in love with kale. I honestly think kale may be my favorite leafy green because of this recipe!

    Coconut Fudge Bars

    Forever one of my favorite summer treats! Grab one out of the freezer — you won't regret it.

    Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad

    If you aren't a leafy greens fan, this is the salad for you! Steamed cauliflower, roasted bell peppers, olives, and red onions — perfection.

    Paleo Apple Walnut Bundt Cake

    This may be my greatest baked good creation ever. Normally I'm a chocolate kind of person, but I made an exception for this warm and cozy cake. Give me a slice of this ANY DAY, particularly with a hot cup of coffee.

    Thai Cabbage Salad with Sunbutter Dressing

    When it comes to chopped salads, this one takes the cake for me. So many toppings to keep this salad interesting, along with the most delicious sunflower seed butter dressing!

    Flourless Plantain Skillet Brownie

    A plantain recipe HAD to make the list! This plantain skillet brownie is the best way to use up yellow/black plantains. Fudgy, chocolatey, and perfect for two.

    Buffalo Chicken Smothered Sweet Potato Fries

    Sweet potato fries plus easy buffalo chicken? It's a match made in heaven. This recipe is perfect for meal prep and it's so dang delectable.

    Spicy Thai Curry Chicken Wings

    Trust me, you want these wings! They're my all-time favorite chicken wing recipe, and one of the first recipes I created for the blog, and it was definitely a "I nailed that" moment.
