One bite of these ribs is a life changing, mind altering experience that will have you reconsidering all other proteins. Yeah. FULL POST This was so comforting you wouldn’t even believe it was fully paleo. I was desperate to find a protein for dinner and I saw some catfish on sale so I decided to give it a shot.
