Hi Chef, I am a long time fan of yours. I have tried a lot of your recipes and they have all been praised by friends and family. Recently I am looking at options of moving to Paleo lifestyle because of health reasons. Many of your recipes are paleo approved. but I do not see any good breakfast recipe which is Paleo approved. I am sure if you want you can put together quite a few of these. Do you have any plans of introducing "paleo" category in your website showcasing breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks recipes.
