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 :)

Meatless Monday

I have heard of Meatless Monday for awhile now but never really thought too much about it until recently. I have been playing with the idea of not eating meat for a few weeks now and as time passes it becomes more and more prevalent in my life.

It is not something that you can totally change in one day and as a matter of fact I have been having trouble inside my mind with it because of how "new" it all still is. I know that I battle with being tired all the time, acne on my face, among a few other things and this is really calling to me. Not to mention the long lasting effects of it when I get older. I don't know for sure if I will want to go full vegetarian or vegan right now but all I know today is that I want to play around with more vegetable ladden meals.

I am going to start a weekly blog post on Monday's for Meatless Monday. I will find different sources and creat a meal plan every week for Meatless Monday. You can join in if you want to and you can totally read this and say negative things or not care and that's fine too it is a free country :) I will also post a grocery list of the things that you may need for Monday in order to make your Meatless Monday a success. This meal plan is not going to be counting calories or anything it is just going to be a good simple edible meals that pique my interest and hopefully pique yours as well.

I will post all meal plans and recipes on Friday or Saturday and that will leave you any of those days to go grocery shopping :)

I hope you participate! How awesome will that be?

I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
