Author(s): Melissa Joulwan

Paleo

Preparing quality food is among the most caring things we can do for ourselves and the people we love. That's why "Well Fed: Paleo Recipes For People Who Love To Eat" is packed with recipes for food that you can eat every day, along with easy tips to make sure it takes as little time as possible to get healthy, delicious food into your well-deserving mouth. If you count meals and snacks, we feed ourselves about 28 times each week. All of the Well Fed recipes -- made with zero grains, legumes, soy, sugar, dairy, or alcohol -- were created so you can enjoy your food every time. The two essential tricks for happy, healthy eating are being prepared and avoiding boredom. "Well Fed" explains how to get in the habit of a Weekly Cookup so that you have ready-to-go food for snacks and meals every day. It will also show you how to make Hot Plates, a mix-and-match approach to combining basic ingredients with spices and seasonings to take your taste buds on a world tour. The recipes are as simple as possible, without compromising taste, and they've been tested extensively to minimize work and maximize flavor. With 115+ original recipes and variations, this book will help you see that paleo eating, too often defined by what you give up, is really about what you'll gain: health, vitality, a light heart, and memorable meals to be shared with the people you love.


Product Information

Melissa Joulwan's favorite spice is cumin. Her favorite vegetable is cabbage. Her favorite book is "Jane Eyre." Her favorite city is Prague, and her favorite band is Social Distortion. You might have known all of that already if you follow her blog The Clothes Make The Girl. The Clothes Make the Girl is an unusual title for a blog that's about her tales of triumph and failure in the gym, in the kitchen, in life. Melissa has been following a 90% strict paleo diet since 2009 when she underwent a thyroidectomy. In the aftermath of the surgery and recovery, she became particularly interested in how diet affects hormones, body composition, mood, and motivation. "Well Fed" is her second book. Her first is "Rollergirl: Totally True Tales from the Track," a memoir of her experiences as one of the founders of the Texas Rollergirls, the original Flat Track Roller Derby league. She has appeared on the Today Show and Good Morning America in her roller skates and fishnets. These days, she's hung up her skates, and her workouts are just as likely to include yoga and meditation, as lifting heavy things and trying to stay ahead of the CrossFit stopwatch. In 2012, Melissa's blog won the Homie Award from The Kitchen for "Best Healthy Cooking Blog" -- and "Well Fed" was the winner the 2012 "Best Cookbook" Award at the San Francisco Book Festival. She is also a Community Ambassador for "Experience Life" magazine and has been a featured chef for U.S. Wellness Meats. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband Dave and their cat Smudge.
