Well Fed Book Review

I had been obsessing over this book for weeks before I bought it and I downloaded the sample copy of the book and NEEEEDED to get it. SO I got my husband to order it for me LOL.

When I got the book it was smaller than I thought but it is packed full of content. I was NOT disappointed. The book was beautifully laid out it contained her story with the paleo diet, her background story and a cliffnotes version of the paleo diet. There are pictures of every recipe that is in the book and gives suggestions on different ways to make each recipe different or substitute different things which is really awesome! I love that there is multiple recipes in one ha ha more bang for my buck!

To be honest the biggest reason I bought the book is that she actually will teach you how to batch cook! I did it for a week and it was the easiest best week of my life but it was a little bit boring for me as I like to make different things and I got stuck in a rut but that was my fault. I made a few of her sauces but the Moroccan sauce was my favorite one, it had parsley, cilantro, olive oil and a few spices. It was delish on a salad and on some chicken.


The book has awesome recipe and I really want to try her brined chicken and even bought all of the ingredients to make it but I keep forgetting that I need to marinate it for a long time so I totally need to have it all ready for work and then add the liquid in the morning and cook it after work ha ha.

I really enjoyed the book and go to it and try to add one recipe every few weeks into my meal plan so that I can try new things and spice up my regular meals. If you want to get it you can snatch it up on Amazon and I don't think that you will be disappointed, if anything try out the sample that is linked up here and see for yourself :)

My favorite foods

So since I have been on the Paleo train I have found my few favorite foods that I have clung to and eat regularly.

Sauteed with some sesame oil and coconut aminos

Just baked or in soup

I use it as my starch when I get tired of sweet taters and regular ones

YUMMMM Aminos and sesame oil works just fine or olive oil and garlic powder is awesome too

daily salads that I eat for lunch it fast easy and healthy
I have eaten some other vegetables but these are the ones that I lean to more often. I have bought a few meal plans and I love this baked and brined chicken from the BUTI meal plans. It is some apple cider vinegar and coconut aminos mixed together in even parts and you marinate it for at least an hour bake on 350 until it is no longer pink and eat it up. I usually eat it with my salads it makes a good combo. I am in love with it and it has become the only way that I marinate my chicken now when I am making it with a salad.

I have a few ideas for posts so that this blog doesn't die. I feel like since I am on maintenance mode it's harder for me to come up with ideas on content especially since I have been more focused on my photography and expanding my family.

I am going to do some book reviews and provide some helpful tips that helped me lose weight and maintain the weight that I have now as well as some of the struggles that I am currently going through with weight to continue to hopefully still be an inspiration and a voice on healthy nutritional tips.

Until next time!
