If you were to walk into our home and open the refrigerator or look in the cabinets of our pantry, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or laundry rooms, these are the companies and products you would regularly find sitting on the shelves. We love and fully support each product listed below.
I love grocery shopping in a quality grocery store and dislike spending the time to shop for all else in person, hence the reason we have an Amazon Prime account. :)
In addition to the products we use regularly, below you’ll also find a list of places where you can go to find quality ingredients (both in person and online) along with a comprehensive list of all the known 100% paleo restaurants around the world. Eventually Jeff & I would like to travel and experience each one! Next to those paleo restaurants that we’ve been to you’ll find a link to our review.
Note: We will earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you buy using our links below. Thanks for supporting Paleo Porn!

Tools for Starting A Food Blog
We’re constantly asked how to start a food blog. For the full step by step go to our How to Start a Food Blog Guide.
Web Hosting
Over the years we’ve built over a brazillion websites for our clients and for ourselves. Due to their impeccable quality of service we’ve trusted Bluehost time and again.
Bluehost: Use this link to get 40% off and a free domain name.
WordPress
WordPress is the platform for building your site and Genesis is the framework. Some will debate about SquareSpace, Weebly, or some other shit, but anyone who builds brands for a living will tell you otherwise.
WordPress: Self-hosted WordPress is the way to go. Bluehost even has a super simple install to get you up and running in no time.
Genesis
If WordPress is the foundation of your new house, Genesis is the skeleton. Genesis keeps everything in tip top shape, ensures your house is secure, and SEO-ready – this analogy is getting wonky, but bear with me.
Genesis: Click here to get the core framework of your website.
BYLT
Next up you’ll want to make your house your own. This is where your Genesis Child Theme comes in.
BYLT: Browse the curated collection of Genesis Child Themes. We’re partial to tru and (in)SPYR, but there are many other options as well.
