I’m doing it. My very first giveaway. I’m so excited! I’ve never done one. But when the opportunity came up to spread the word about the Well Fed Cookbook by Melissa Joulwan of The Clothes Make the Girl, I couldn’t pass it up! If you haven’t seen her cookbook yet, which I’m guessing 96% of you have, you are missing out! Not only did Melissa self publish this book, but she did it incredibly well. The photography is magnificent, the recipes are different from what you’ll find in most paleo blogs, and her voice is wonderful. It’s an easy to read, easy to look at, and easy to love paleo cookbook, and there are definitely not enough of those out there…yet! The time and effort put into this cookbook shows and everyone should have it on their bookshelf OR sitting in the kitchen next to some bacon grease…like mine.
And one of the best things about this cookbook is that it is for all kinds of paleo eaters. If you are new to paleo and are looking to make something very simple, she has that. She talks about the importance of spices and easy ways to incorporate flavors into simple dishes. And if you are a paleo-pro, she has all kind of recipes and new ideas that will spark your interest. Ever heard of machacado? You have? Whatever. To me, it seems pretty fancy. But Melissa makes it so simple that a paleo-newb to a paleo-pro could enjoy every last bite of every recipe she has.
The Well Fed Cookbook brings the spirit of every culture into paleo cooking, and that is not something you find every day.
If there is one thing I love the most about this book, it’s that the author. Melissa is an incredibly good person. She is kind, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. When I emailed her asking a question about how she got started on the publishing train, she emailed me back within minutes. She cares for everyone and that’s a pretty amazing quality to have. I believe good things happen to good people and I hope that GREAT things happen to her.
But anyways, enough with the gushy stuff. Here is how to win the cookbook:

I am trying to get into paleo but I love food so it’s a little bit harder than I thought. This cookbook looks like a great compromise.
Ironically, my love for food has only increased after exploring Paleo because I am more fully-immersed in the sourcing and preparation process. Also, no more calorie counting!
I’m on day 7 of my Whole 30 & would love to try out some new recipes. Trying to make this a lifestyle & the new book would help! I also just love good cookbooks!
I’ve liked The Clothes Make the Girl on FB… I really want this cookbook because Melissa has some really great recipes and I can relate to her thyroid issues… very much an inspiration!
Can’t wait to try and win the cookbook!! :)
I would love the book. Still new to paleo and fall in that 4% who have not seen the book before.
done. done. done! I love your site. I love your headbands. I love cooking and food and dancing too (especially all at the same time) and I’m a broke grad student and would love to procure a new awesome cookbook to inspire my eats. *I also like run on sentences. thaaaanks :D
I have over 300 “SAD” diet cookbooks that I’m getting rid of, so this cookbook would be a SWEET replacement :)
I would love to have more recipes- – maybe can get my husband to start eating better as well!
i would love to have this cookbook because i spend a significant amount of time online looking at paleo blogs and recipes (pretty much the only things i like on facebook, well besides hot men) and it would be nice to have something tangible to look at and hold while exploring new recipes. i dont currently own any paleo recipe books and i think melissa’s would be an excellent start to a collection :)
Love to get this book as in here where I am Paleo is totally new thing and no books are available. I have bought some, but you know one good cookbook is always missing I am a cookbook junky…
I really want to change my diet and get more fit. The recipes in this book look delicious.
Just finished my first week of Paleo living and loving it. Feel better and am losing…weight that is! I have already perused “Well Fed” and have it on my list of “to buy” books. I love how Melissa has suggestions for sides and ways you can tweak the recipes. That’s what this girl needs when coming up with interesting answers to the age old question of “What’s for dinner, Mom?!?”. Winning it would be the bomb!
I would love to win this cookbook. I’m trying paleo on my road to being more healthy. I grew up in a home where eating healthy wasn’t a big deal. Now that I have a 2 year old I am try to change my eating habits, not only to help me lose weight and become more fit but, to teach my son the proper way to enjoy food.
Omg this makes me so excited! I’m a college student at the University of Arkansas (woo pig sooie!) and cookbooks are not really in my budget unfortunately so this would be an awesome one to get! My boyfriend of almost two years is paleo and about 6 months into it he convinced me to join him and I love it and follow your recipes daily for dinner ideas! Would love to get this!!
I’ve been wanting to try whole 30…and just started crossfit with som folks who could try it with me!!!
Would love to check out this cookbook! After finding out I’m gluten intolerant awhile back, Melissa’s blog was one of the first ones that I found. I love her recipes and her perspective :).
I would love this cookbook. I have heard so many good reviews about it, and with a young family I always need some good fresh ideas on how to follow this lifestyle
Congrats on your first give-away! Hehe, hopefully this will be my first win! Either way, love your blog and hope you keep all the amazing posts coming!
I am a new mom who is trying to cook Paleo for my family, and I could use all of the recipes I can get!
Why would I like to win this cookbook? Well, first of all, everyone likes to be a winner, right? Second of all, YOU are giving it away and your posts make me snort coffee out my nose on a regular basis. I still laugh when I picture you on your front porch in your jammies taking pictures of food. I eat clean, I love to cook and I love new inspiration. That’s all. The end.
I have been dairy free and gluten free for a couple years now due to food allergies. Recently,my husband was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Now that he’s actually sleeping with the assistance of his c-pap machine, his doctor suggest he eat like he’s living the jungle (aka paleo) to lose some weight and getting healthier. So I am gathering all the paleo recipes I already knows like and looking for more. We decided we’d start with focused earnest on September 1st, so this book would be a fabulous resource for me as I work to plan meals around school, work, and late evening soccer practice. Thanks for doing this giveaway and considering me!!
My sister has this cookbook and she let me borrow it once and I fell in love with the recipes and the delicious simplicity of them. Unfortunately I only got to try a couple recipes before my sister moved away and took the book with her. Now that I’ve been teased and I’d love a copy of my own. It would also be give my sister and I something to bond over and that would be neat.
Pick me! Pick me! I’m on a crazy restricted diet while nursing my son who’s got wicked food allergies. Paleo was the only thing that worked for me and I’ve never felt better! Still getting into the paleo groove and would love to have this book.
Very happy to have found your blog. Your sarcasm reminds me of myself and I can always count on your posts for a good laugh and a great meal!
I want to win this cookbook because I LOVE WINNING! Also, I am in serious need of awesome recipes.

Am a non~tweeting follower already!
I would love this book because I am doing the Whole30 & living completely Paleo due to tons of food allergies & thyroid & adrenal issues! I’ve tried some of your posted recipes & hers & they make eating right worthwhile instead of feeling like a rabbit when everyone around you is eating whatever the hell they want. Plus I can eat tasty food without feeling like crap after eating, which is amazing. Please keep the delicious recipes coming!
I would love this book! It would be my very first Paleo cookbook since my husband and I started eating Paleo. If its anything like her website, I need this book.
I would love this cookbook because I am cooking challenged and can use all the help I can get!!
I just started eating Paleo and don’t have any such cookbooks yet! I would love for this to be the first one!
I would love to win the cookbook. Cooking is a great passion of mine. I started following the paleo lifestyle in February, a month before also starting crossfit. Since I started eating so much better, I’ve lost 20 pounds and noticed improvement in all my chronic pains. My family eats what I cook, so I am always looking for new and interesting meals for us to enjoy.
I love Melissa’s blog and her recipes! She sounds like someone that I could totally be best friends with!! :-)
I would love to win this cookbook because im starting a 30 day eat clean challenge with my crossfit gym… and I’m terrified! I have never stuck with anything that long and i am looking for a cookbook with easy and/or delicous recipies to help me stick to it! Please pick me for your giveaway! I need all the help i can get!
I would love to have Well Fed, to add some new (easy!) Paleo recipes to the arsenal.
I had a baby 2 months ago and have finally been able to go back paleo and crossfit and am looking for some kick ass recipes to really get back to it! So excited to have found this site and have tried several of your recipes too and am ready to try several more tomorrow and am just amazed at how awesome what I’ve made so far taste!
I’ve recently heard about this book and it’s currently on my wish list. Last year was a rough one all around in my family. My 50-something year old mom found she had Stage 3 ovarian cancer, and my sister and I found out that we both have gluten and corn allergies. Leading up to these diagnoses were years of awful eating and detrimental lifestyle habits disguised as family traditions–and last year was when everything changed. We are on the healthy track now. Our entire family has made the commitment to live a Paleo lifestyle and heal ourselves from the inside out–a huge turnaround for us all. I want this book because I want to continue to make a better life for myself, my husband, and our toddler–and it starts with a well stocked kitchen.
This cookbook in my kitchen would just be rad. I would love this cookbook because then I can make something (your choice) and ship it to you! yes total win for us both.
I would love to win your cookbook. I find it a lot of fun figuring out what to substitute to make a meal Paleo friendly. :-)
I love Melissa’s recipes! She brings to life Whole30 eating!
Juli! I have been following your blog for almost a year now! About as long as I have been crossfitting! Your humor and words have pushed me to try new things everyday! Although I haven’t gone completely paleo or gluten free, I hope that this cookbook can help me accomplish that goal! Keep up your awesome blogs!! Thanks so much!!!!
I read her blog all the time and her recipes sound amazing. Her Chocolate Chili is on our family menu this week.
I tweeted, and I Facebook liked and now I would LOVE to win this cookbook, because, I maybe have been drooling over it for a couple weeks now. And because Melissa is fantastic!
The cover says it all: Paleo recipes for people who love to eat! That’s me! I love to cook, I’m a new mom, and I also plan on raising the baby on paleo! Please oh please pick me :)
I am cooking paleo for a family of 5 and I could always use new recipes for keeping my family interested in this new life style. We’ve been paleo for about 3 months now and all of us are benefiting from it! Definitely the best thing Ive ever done for my family.
My husband and I started eating paleo at the beginning of July and are always looking for cookbooks and recipes to spice up our meals. I would LOVE to win this for us!
I liked Melissa on Facebook and tweeted!
I think I should win this cookbook because I am really just getting into Paleo dieting and I feel that it can help turn my life around. I have lost almost 70 pounds already by going Paleo with exercise and I am shooting for even more loss! This will be an excellent tool to give me great meals while still eating healthy which has been hard these last months. Thanks much! :-)
I would so love to win Melissa’s book, it’s been on my ‘wish list’ for a while now…but unfortunatly life sometimes gets in the way by the ‘need list’.
Love your work Juli xo
this book has been on my wish list for months and months! hope i win it ;)
I have just started being full on Paleo (a month ago) after years and years of putting up with all sorts of “body problems” and I am feeling like a new person and love it…… but now I am in desperate need of an awesome cookbook. I love her blog and I bet this book is an absolute winner!
Let me shoot it straight Juli, I can’t cook. I am single too.. So obviously I need to learn to cook in order to add to my qualities I can offer a significant other. Preferably a good lookin,paleo eating crossfitter. :) I think it’s only fair I win. Did I also mention today is my birthday??? You can kill two birds with one stone. Eitherway I’ll still think you’re great :))
I’ve been on and off paleo for awhile (really not convenient when I’m at home) but I move back to college in a few weeks and actually have to cook for myself this time around! This cookbook would be an amazzzzzing help. Plus, the pictures from the other day have really peaked my interest in the paleo gems that are probably in there!
I get most of my recipes online so a book would be amazing! I also had my eye on this book for a while now and would love to win a copy!
The cookbook looks incredible, and thanks for introducing me to her blog!!!
I’ve fallen off the paleo wagon. Hard. I just can’t seem to get back to it. I see the numbers on the scale go up and my stomach expand but I just can’t seem to get out of this stupid rut. I need a good physical cookbook in my kitchen to turn to.
And ps. You need to put out a book with allbyour recipes too. I’d love to have it all in one place.
Been doing paleo for 6 weeks and have lost 7 pounds and two pant sizes and have never felt better! My husband and I look forward to Sunday food prep days with this amazing new cookbook!! Thank you so much for doing the giveaway- you rock!! :)
Since being a part of a 60 challenge at my xfit box that was Whole30 and subsequently being introduced to Whole30 and Paleo eating, I have “found” the love for cooking that I had before I had kids again! I have never felt healthier, eaten better and LOVED finding new recipes and even making some of my own like I do now! Thank you BOTH for exposing me to this…I would love her book so I can continue to grow in my knowledge and share the GREAT recipes w friends and family. =)
I started doing paleo about 3 months ago to just live a healthier life. I am a classically trained chef so when cooking, my mind automatically goes toward ingredients that aren’t so healthy. You’re blog has been a life changed on my road to eating healthier and a cookbook would be amazing in furthering my paleo journey! Please please pick me :)
My wife and I are both in the military, and avid Crossfitters. We’ve been experimenting with Paleo, and your website has been a great inspiration for us; not only through great recipes (and commentary), but also through the bonding that comes from cooking together.
Melissa’s book is on our list of “Paleo books we need to get”, and we’ve been making excuses up until now for not getting it (and one of your headbands!), and I think it’s time we ramp things up in our kitchen to feed our box-jumping, burpeeing (sometimes burping) bodies.
My husband and I have 6 children. About 2 months ago, he decided to give Paleo a try. It’s difficult switching to a full Paleo diet with egg and dairy allergies in some of our children. This cookbook could really help us in helping ourselves and our children!
Hey there! I’d love to have a copy of this cookbook. I search the internet for recipes & ideas for Paleo dishes, and find plenty but its too scattered. I need a lot of ideas, in one place within reach. Been following Paleo on/off for several months now… Always feel better when I’m ‘on’
Thanks in advance for your consideration :)
My only Paleo “cookbook” is an old binder with 70,000 loose pieces of paper on which I’ve printed or scribbled recipes from the Internet. Winning “Well Fed” would really help with my kitchen chaos, since about 30,000 of my papers are already from her site. Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I am interested in making easy paleo recipes that are healthy and yummy. This book would help in my paleo quest!
I want this cookbook because I want to be the first winner of your very first giveaway!!! That would make my year :-) The truth is I have been doing Paleo for about a year and I would love a new cookbook with some fun new recipes. I have heard of this cookbook and she sounds awesome. I have filled the basic requirements of this contest and I want to thank you for all of your delicious recipes and hilarious posts.
My husband and I have been addicted to CrossFit for a year and a half now. I have tried cooking “Paleo” for about a year (after moving off a vegan diet); however, I get easily frustrated with diificult recipes. Sticking with Paleo has been difficult to say the least. I would love…as would my husband…new recipes that we can prepar, enjoy, and help us reach our full potential in all that we do.
I’d LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have her cookbook on my counter because it would be covered in all kinds of Paleo goodness. I always eat the same things and I need a peleo makeover! :)
I have been trying to eat as Paleo as possible so I can lose weight and be healthy again. I am finding it hard to come up with new ideas and this cookbook would be perfect for just that. I want to raise my daughter on this food… I want to be happy with myself again. This would be my first Paleo cookbook, but certainly not my last!
1. I had the PDF sample emailed to me weeks ago and loved it, so I made it official by liking her page… okay, so I did it because you told me to. But I do think that Melissa is awesome. And I agree. Her voice is wonderful and her book is very well written.
2. It’s been so long since I’ve signed into Twitter that I forgot my password and had to have it emailed to me. I’m forgetful. But Twitter forgives me. And I’m now following Melissa AND I tweeted (twitted?) at her.
3. I would LOVE to have this cookbook because I love food and even more than I love food… I love learning how to make edible (& even yummy) healthy food! Which is why I love you. And your awesome blog. And your dry humor. Actually, sometimes your humor makes me angry. The jealous kind. Only because I wish I was that funny. Annywaay. It all started when I was 16. I lost 67 lbs in high school by sugar detoxing and learning to appreciate vegetables. In about 9 months I went from 205lbs to 138lbs in the kitchen! I never once hit the gym. Which was a pretty incredible experience that definitely taught me the importance of a healthy diet! But then I graduated, started college, lived in a dorm (ate at the cafe) and reverted to my old bad habits. Surprisingly, the weight stayed off on its own for about a year or two, but has slowly and surely crept back over the past three years. I haven’t regained all of it, but I am sad to say that I’m back at 180 and DETERMINED to get back down to how I felt when I weighed about 140. I want to be that fit mom someday! The one that not only inspires her own kids, but her friends too! Although honestly, now that I Crossfit, I don’t care as much about what the scale says, but I do care about how out of shape I am! It’s honestly pretty pathetic. My intro class left me feeling like I was straight up ’bout to pass out. But I’ve been Paleo for about 2 months now and I’ve already dropped 13lbs!!! I’m ridiculously motivated by any WOD and busting my butt first thing in the morning helps to control my sweet tooth. And on the days that it doesn’t, your chocolate addiction comforts mine. For my meals I bascially stalk your blog and a few others and feel AWESOME eating this way. I’m still learning and for that reason I am SO thankful for the internet- you are a SERIOUS inspiration, Juli. Nonetheless, it would be pretty awesome to have a cookbook as stellar as Melissa’s! Especially after reading the intro to Well Fed where Melissa shares HER story… I felt pretty inspired by her. Our stories are fairly similar. :) Oh! I could even keep you posted on my weight loss!! :D You prrrrobably don’t have time for that jazz, but hey… I offered! Also, here’s a guilt trip (free of charge!): I am a poor college kid who could only ever DREAM of having an awesome paleo cookbook like Well Fed because I could never buy it for myself because gas is too friggin’ expensive! Nor could I convince my parents to buy it for me because they are AWESOME and already pay for my Crossfit. *sad sad sigh* Which is why I am left at the mercy of food-loving bloggers who can’t dance. Okay, maybe just one blogger. Not that I’m complaining. At all. Because I basically love you and I don’t even know you. But between your recipes and your rants, I probably laugh at you more than I laugh at any of my friends. Combined. Do I need funnier friends? Is funnier a word? Whatever. Okay, I think I answered your question! Pick me, Juli!! PICK ME!

^ Side note: There are quite a few Lindseys on here, already. I feel so un-original!
This cookbook looks good! Great giveaway.
I’d love to try Well Fed because I am such a boring cook. I basically just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot every night and add a little all-purpose seasoning and call it a meal. Yah, I need a little direction in the kitchen. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I started to eat Paleo after having my son, about 6months ago. I wanted to be eating the best possible way for him while nursing and now I’m hooked! I love your blog (I get so excited when I can read a new post in the middle of the night when my baby wakes up!)and would love to have some new recipe ideas because between nursing and running I’m ALWAYS hungry!
We have been in such a food rut. It would be amazing to add a great cookbook to help us out! We have been gluten free for over 4 years and grain free for 4 months. I am happy to say that I am 45lbs lighter and 30 points down on my cholesterol. I have a ways to go and any help would be appreciated.
Hey there! I would love to win this cookbook! I am always looking for new ideas and recipes and I live to see the spin others put on our Paleo lifestyle! I try to eat Paleo most of the time and I do feel like I’m at my best when I do! BTW, I tried the La Croix coconut bubbly yesterday! Yumminess in my tumminess!! Thanks for the advice!
I would love to win this cookbook!! I’ve been Paleo for a little over four months now. It has completely changed my life and I feel like a new and improved version of myself. I have been cooking my own food and making up my own dishes. Last week, I joined Pinterest and I stumbled upon your blog. This truly opened my eyes to the fact there are so many resources for Paleo reicipes out there. This couldn’t have come at a better time, as I was becoming bored and frustrated with the small menu I have been eating from for the past four months. This cookbook would be a great way to literally add more spice into my life!! :)
I would love this cookbook because I am in a rut with what to make for meals. I have autoimmune diseases and feel SO MUCH better eating this way. I want to start converting my family as well. Thanks for the chance to win this cookbook!
I would love to win the book as in Australia, Paleo Cookbooks are few and far between… Pllllleeeeeasssssssssssssseee pick me!!!
My husband is trying very hard to eat a Paleo diet but he is fairly selective so I am always trying to find new recipes that he might like.
I would love to win this because I have heard such great things about this book! I already enjoy Melissa’s blog, so would love to check out her book! Thanks for the chance to win! You rock!
I have been paleo for about 4 months now and read all the popular paleo blogs daily looking for inspiration! i would love to add this cookbook to my kitchen for some new dinner ideas…i think my boyfriend would appreciate it too :)
I would love to add some pizzazz to my daily food.
Liked and tweeted! I’m just learning about the Paleo way of life, and so far I’m liking what I’ve learned! I’m slowly trying to put it into action – this book would be a great resource!
I would LOVE the cookbook bcs I think Melissa and You ROCK!!! I love your blog!!! I am also on day 1 of Whole 30, so this would be an awesome support!!!
THis would be an awesome prize to win. I need the help and recipes to make this a completely succesful transition! Kelly
Done, done, done. WHOO!
Done and Done!
Never mind falling off the Paleo wagon… I recently crashed the wagon head first into a tree and smashed it into smitherines. (Go away spell check, that’s how you spell it!)
Anyways, I could really use some extra inspiration on top of PaleOMG and this looks like the perfect start to get me back on track and feeling better. (The crap food has unsurprisingly made me feel like total crap).
Fingers crossed :)

I started teaching a paleo cooking/nutrition class a few months ago! I’m helping ladies in my neighborhood to cook healthy, simple paleo meals!! Having another resource would be so helpful!!!!
Love your blog! Love Melissa’s blog! After months of considering paleo your blog is what inspired me to really make the switch. I would love the cookbook in hopes of making some more paleo deciousness and converting my family to the paleo life.
I looked through Well Fed a year ago before I had really started eating paleo. I loved the recipes and images! The recipes were easy to follow and used simple delicious ingredients. I would live to have my own copy!
Done, done, and (now) done! I would love to have this book. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes in late June, and my nurse practitioner suggested the Paleo diet. I jumped on and haven’t looked back, despite my initial reaction, that was basically “NO BREAD WTF WHY DO YOU HATE ME.” I’ve lost about 20 pounds so far, feel better than I’ve probably ever felt, and have more energy than I can remember having. I go to the gym regularly, and plan to get one of your headbands when I’ve lost more of my fat suit. (I don’t think you want morbidly obese girls advertising your site.)
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. Your site is one of the best parts of my day. Does that make me a sad person?

I am overweight and have a friend who swears by Paleo; it’s done wonders for not only her physique but her persistent digestive problems as well. I would love the cookbook to jump start my journey.
This cookbook sounds great! I hope I win so I can try it sooner than later. I could definitely use some help in the kitchen.
I’ve spent years trying to battle the unhealthy habits my family passed down to me (along with the autoimmune diseases that came with). Simply eating “healthy” and working out isn’t enough for me. I’ve recently discovered Paleo and my boyfriend and I (he’s super supportive) have decided to make the lifestyle change to Paleo. I am already aware of why it’s even healthier than how I eat now and I’ve tried some recipes on this site and loved it. In addition, we are both starting strength training at a local gym and we’ve found a really great trainer who knows what he’s doing to help up out of the kindness of his heart. We’d really love this cookbook to start out with :)
I would love to have this cookbook because we are just starting out on Paleo (actually, today is day 1) and I would love to win so I can start building my new paleo cookbook collection!
As a cancer survivor & long-time low carber, I’m very interested in learning more about paleo eating/cooking!
I live in the dark ages (2006) and I don’t use Twitter, so I hope I can still participate. I would love to give the cookbook to my parents. They buy that paleo works because they’ve seen the changes in me, but they say they could never commit because they don’t have time or they can’t think of anything to cook without wheat/dairy/whatever. I think this would really help them get healthier and eat whole foods instead of frozen dinners all the time!
Thanks Melissa and Juli for doing this. You guys are legit my two favorite paleo women on the internet – the two of you teaming up for something is blowing my mind.
Pick me! This looks like an awesome cookbook!
Love your blog! I would love to win this cookbook because I am new to paleo and I would love to learn more paleo recipes that will help me stick to the diet!
I soo need to replace all the conventional diet and gluten-fied cookbooks my mother has been giving me since I went off to college.
Been following a while and just tweeted! I’d love this book because I switched my husband and 5 kids to paleo in January and haven’t been able to get a single cookbook! This one’s been at the top of my list since the beginning! Fingers and toes crossed!
I am just learning about the Paleo diet –and gosh, this would sure be a resource!!!
I’ve been following Melissa’s blog for quite a while, but just hadn’t decided if I wanted the PDF version or the paper copy of the book. So many books are much better as paper copies, especially if they have lots of pictures!
And there’s another secret reason why I should win, but I can’t tell you, YET. If I win, I promise to come back and leave a comment about it when I can!
Oh and mucho thanks to you for your awesome blog! I’m always dropping in for something inspirational for dinner and of course your desserts!
I’d probably buy this anyway, so I’m not your top candidate but I’ll give it a shot, here goes…
1. I used to win stuff all the time. For example, in ninth grade I won five minutes in a straight jacket to grab any cd’s I wanted at the record store. I have a huge mouth so I pretty much cleaned ‘em out. I haven’t won anything since I got married and my husband thinks I am making it all up. Let’s prove him wrong.
2. I live for mail. That’s one of the highlights of my day (also eating) so getting s package in the mail that’s related to eating would satisfy me more than you can imagine (it’s that easy).
3. My husband and three kids have no idea that we’re eating paleo. I need every trick in the book to keep them eating without asking questions.
I desperately need this book because I cook for all my lazy friends and need to expand my repertoire. Not that JB hasn’t done an excellent job of making everyone scream with delight….. xoxo!
I LOVE paleo and love your blog JB! I can’t wait to go out and add this cookbook to my other paleo collection. Thanks for being awesome :)
The Clothes Make the Girl is one of the first blogs I ever started following when I began paleo. I love all her recipes, and having her cookbook would make a nice physical accompaniment to her site!
Both of my parents have tried many diets recently but haven’t experienced much success. I am in the process of trying to convince my family to make the switch to paleo, one of their excuses is the lack of “delicious food”. I would love this cookbook so that I could show them all the many delicious possibilities that paleo has to offer and give them the lifestyle and health they deserve…cheers and awsome blog!
I’ve been paleo myself for a while, but the book wouldn’t be for me as much as it would be for my father. I would consider myself a health and fitness nut, but my family has always struggled with obesity and healthy eating. I can’t force healthy eating on my dad, especially since food and cooking is a passion of his and something he spends a lot of his free time doing, but I want to be able to offer him this as an alternative. A book that will introduce him to paleo recipes in a more advanced, eclectic culinary light may be the wake up call he needs to see that he can still creatively cook while using healthier, whole foods.
I would love to have this book because I am just getting started with the Paleo lifestyle. It would be wonderful having new recipes to try!
I’m a paleo newbie and this would be so helpful!
I need this cook book, I am just begining on this journey and feel a bit confused and overwhelmed with my food options.
Thank you

To be short and sweet, I’m new to paleo and seriously need help coming up with new recipes to cook while working full time and still cooking healthy for the family.
I’ve enjoyed her recipes for a long time now and it would be awesome to have a real book!
I would LOVE to win this cookbook so that I can continue my pursuit to feel great by doing CrossFit and eating paleo. I started CrossFit last October and eating paleo in January. The 2 combined have changed my body and my life! I cook pale for a family of 4 and so it’s a bit of a challenge to bring them along with me at times. I’m always hunting for great recipes so that my family can see how eating paleo can be happy too. :)
Liked The clothes make the girl!
I’d love to try the recipes in Well Fed!
Since moving bak to my home town, I’ve been slowly teaching my family about the paleo lifestyle. Not just the how, but the why as well. They see the value in simplicity. They understand that less is more. My dad and I have always cooked together, and now we spend time planning meals and searching for ideas for great paleo meals. My little brother has never liked anything fruit or vegetable. Now he cleans his plate. It’s amazing to see! This book would start a collection for the new chapter in our lives as a family.
This cook book would be great for me because I am always looking for new meals and ideas to make for all meals. I work full time and go to law school part time. I leave my house at 7 am and usually don’t return until 11pm. My meals have to be planned for the entire day. This cook book would help me plan my days better and give me better choices. Also being new to paleo I still struggle with keeping on track. I know this book would help give me motivation to stay on track.
I’ve been Paleo for a few months now and I’m [SECRETLY] trying to get my parents into it. They’re old school, and 100% Italian and anytime I make them try something they like it. BUT there is no way in hell they’re going to give up their pasta and bread and cheese. Everyday they try what I make but are still very stubborn. The book could help broaden their horizons!
I’d love to win because I know that every recipe in there is whole 30 approved, save for one dessert. I need new ideas! :)
I follow both of you awesome ladies on my news reader and always interesting in hearing about your life stories intertwined with awesome eats! :)
My BF and I have been transitioning into the paleo lifestyle and seeing as the only thing I’ve really ever cooked for myself is pasta, I’ve started to rely on your recipe sites for inspiration! :)
I was avid and strict about eating paleo a year ago and went to a 6 month hiatus becuase I just got lazy. I’m getting back into serious half ironman training and am trying to get back into the swing of paleo but I’m bored with my same old recipes. I love your recipes and hope the cookbook will help out as well!
Ooo I would love to win this! I am very new to paleo eating and need all the help I can get :) I have also managed to get my parents on board and my mom just loves a cook book!
I’ve fallen off the Paleo Wagon a bit this summer and need some good recipes to kick my ass back into shape.
Thanks for the opportunity :)
I’d love to win because I need new recipe ideas for being grain-free!
I would love to haev this cookbook because I am a working mom of 3 (one being only 2 months old!) and I just switched the entire family over to paleo. We need to be eating and living healthier lives and I want to instill good eating habits in my kiddos! I love your blog and am always looking for more recipes!
I am religious about Paleo and am so thankful it has come into my life. After only 6 months on Paleo my father no longer needs medication for his high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or EVEN his diabetes. I’m constantly looking for easy things for him to make and this cookbook would be an excellent edition.
I recently went to my dr.s nurse practitioner for some diet pills…he said he didnt do pills but if I gave him the opportunity he would teach me how to lose weight with food and exercise…so he explained this “plan” to me and wrote it all down and said I could lose 20lbs in two months..hmmm very skeptical..so I come home and see a post from you and I look at your website like I do often and started noticing similarities in what I just heard from him!!! So I email him and ask if it’s the paleo plan..and he said YES!! So, I have been doing the plan he wrote down now I just need some recipes!!! Would love to have your cookbook!! Oh and I love your dancing!!! :) lol you have sooo much energy!!! I also joined our area YMCA and hope I can have as much energy as you!! Thanks!!
I just went Paleo in April, so I struggle sometimes with inspiration for weeknight meals. This cookbook would be a great help.
After being a vegetarian for 18 years I made the switch to meat 2 months ago and found following paleo blogs/websites/googling recipes super supportive and inspirational. I feel physically and mentally better than I have in years and would love a new cookbook to teach me more about cooking the delicious meats I’ve finally “discovered”!!
This cookbook looks like it would be a great tool as a beginner paleo cook, and it will help me convert my guy. He’s beginning to see the wisdom with each yummy recipe I whip up!
I have been transitioning to a Paleo lifestyle. The recipes on your blog have been a wonderful gift! This book would be a great help. I feel so much better when eating Paleo!
i would absolutely love to have this cookbook, as a working/in-school mom of two littleboys (1and3), i need all the help I can get to keep up with my active lifestyle and newfound love of the paleo eating lifestyle!!
I would love to win Melissa’s book because I just started eating Paleo and I basically struggle with cooking in general. :)
Liked, followed, and tweeted! I would really love to win this cookbook because eating paleo intrigues me and is something I would like to incorporate more into my diet. Every paleo recipe I have tried, I have extremely enjoyed and as a fairly new cook, I could really use some guidance and help with this cookbook!
I’m new to paleo, and this book (along with your awesome blog) looks like a great place to start! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m working on going Paleo right now and this cookbook would be a great addition to the family’s attempts at starting this new journey.
I would LOVE to own the Well Fed cookbook!!! I started Crossfit about 2 months ago and it has changed my life! SERIOUSLY! Before Crossfit I had never been part of a sports team and had never been the “athletic” type. I thought I couldn’t lift weights and did not think that I could ever do hand stand push ups or any of the other insane movements…I was intimidated starting Crossfit. BUT the other people at my box were so incredible in cheering me on and encouraging me to push myself further! They all have inspired me so much and in just 2 months I am doing things that i never thought that I could do. More importantly, Crossfit has made me love my body. After years of struggling with the idea of being “perfect”, I finally feel satisfied with what I am doing! I feel myself becoming so much more confident and physically stronger. I am so inspired by your blog and your strength (emotionally and physically) Now where does Paleo come in? After years of eating sugar free and diet everything, I am DONE with that chemical crap!! Once starting crossfit I realized that I needed to be fueling my body in a way that would give me enough energy to complete my workouts. I have been trying Paleo for a few weeks now and I am loving it, I don’t think that I could do it without looking at your blog everyday though! It def. takes thought and preparation but it really has made me feel amazing (another reason I need the Well Fed cookbook) ! I feel like I could go on and on and Crossfit and Paleo and how they have recently began consuming my life but bottom line is: These 2 things have given me confidence, they have helped me to see myself as strong and beautiful and they have made me feel like I can accomplish anything! Thank you for being so genuine and awesome!!
3 months ago I began a journey of eating right and exercising regularly. A few weeks into my journey I discovered Paleo, bought a few books and read everything I could about it. 3 months ago I weighed 316 lbs. Today I weigh 268 lbs. I would love to have this cookbook because I love to cook and I could always use some more awesome Paleo recipes!
Convincing my hubby to love paleo as much as I do is a challenge. I need all the kick-butt recipes I can get!
Dear JB,
I would greatly appreciate being considered for this book due to the fact I’ve been trying for months to stay on a strict Paleo diet. I’ve faltered a little, especially after eating a whole box of carrot cake cookies, when I got word my husband was deploying for a year to Ass-Crack-Istan in 3 months. (He just got back from a 6 month tour in May :-/ )
I’m going to be making a 12 hour drive to see my family and stay with them for a few month after he leaves and have been desperately trying to teach my Mom, Step Dad and Sister better eating habits since the last time I was up there. All I saw in their fridge was Soda, cheap lunch meat and condiments. Pop tarts, Prepackaged hot chocolate and sugary peanut butter in the cupboards.
I think this book would give me a great aid in getting them on a cleaner lifestyle AND help me not to fall off the wagon again while being around them. So, really if my family is serious about the change I would be re-gifting your giveaway to them so they can stay on the straight and narrow and hopefully have scribbled down all the really awesome recipes in the book and put them in my binder before I leave to go back home.
Thanks for all you do Julie!
THis September will be my 2 year anniversary from when I started losing weight. I have lost 100 lbs and still have 60 lbs to go. The first year I kicked butt! once i started to see results and how people were floored by my transformation I began to get a little too confident. I really want to cross the finish line this time and finally lose the weight. The program I was on is very similar to the paleo lifestyle. THis cookbook would help me and hopefully give me that push to help me cross that finish line!
I am new to paleo and love all of the help you give with recipies. Having an additional cookbook would be super helpful!
I’m just dabbling in Paleo now so this cookbook would be very handy!
I (sadly) don’t have a single paleo cookbook yet. I find all my recipes online, which is great, but sometimes it’s just nice to have a book. I’ve heard this one is great! Would love to win!
Since I’m fairly new to this whole paleo/crossfit/awesome life I would love to have this! JB, here’s the real thing… i feel like we’re a lot alike. 1. i am forcing my roommate to do all of this sick bullshit with me and she is slowly learning to love it. score. 2. my gym is me and a bunch of dudes… and i love it. but i’m single… 3. probably single due to my extreme awkwardness, no sense of boundaries which results in word vomit, and my extremely awesome dance moves which puts the whole world to shame…. they can’t help but feel insecure around me.
i want to win! yay!
Pretty please pick me! First, I just got asked to be a weekly blogger for my crossfit box focusing mainly on nutrition and paleo recipes!!! (I’m kind of ecstatic and nervous about this!) Second, I need more ideas of new things to cook! Third, I’m poor from spending all of my money on almond flour, grass-fed beef, and nitrate-free bacon and offering the food to all of my workout buddies so I can’t afford to buy a cookbook! On top of all of that, you’re really awesome and inspiring and if you say this is a good cookbook, then I MUST HAVE IT! :)
I have tried paleo two times and need fresh ideas. I would love the cookbook. Thanks for the giveaway.
Well, I’d love to win this cookbook because who doesn’t love winning stuff? And beacuse I am starting Whole30 this week due to totally falling off the healthy eating wagon, so I need continuing ideas on what to make for meals for my family and me!
I don’t have any actual paleo cookbooks yet, this one sounds awesome and would love for it to be my first one!
I’ve been doing crossfit for a little over a month now and am absolutely obsessed. To the point where people at work think I have some major issues. Having more paleo recipes to bring to work will only make things that much more fun ;)
I would love to win this cookbook…as someone who is slowly easing into the Paleo lifestyle and Crossfit, it would be SOOOO helpful to have a book of wonderful receipes. I use a lot of the receipes you have on your site…just made the Buffalo Chicken meatloaf….YUM! I did my first Filthy Fifty yesterday and had a time of 39min…not the best, but I thought pretty good for my first time! I can only hope that by getting deeper into the Paleo lifestyle and crossfit my times, body and attitude will only grow stronger! So please please pick me! :)
I have liked and tweeted! I actually ran across Melissa’s blog via Pinterest a few months ago. And I have been following your blog for the last year or more and YOU made my transition into this lifestyle soo easy! Plus you’re flippin hilarious! I have a couple other Paleo cookbooks and my friends and family know how dedicated I am to this because of what its done for me. I would love to win Melissa’s book simply for the fact that I’ve given my other books away to the ones I love. My hope is to help them make a difference by changing their family trees in eliminating process junk and chemicals. It’s so wonderful to know you Juli, and Melissa are changing LIVES like you’ve specifically changed mine. Thank you for all the time and effort that goes into this. And congrats on the 1st giveaway! I would love to be the 1st winner!
Tomassina
I am currently doing the Whole30 and have gotten into a rut of what to cook. I’ve made a TON of your recipes in the past…and LOVED them all. Just looking to change it up a bit. It would be nice to have a cookbook in the house instead of always searching the internet for a new recipe. I’ve been following Melissa for a while now and I think she’s a true inspiration! I love her ethnic twist to the recipes and I think that would be a good change in my diet. p.s. Juli, your blog is the one thing (besides going to CF) that I look forward to in my day :)
I recently read ‘It Starts With Food’ because of all the pale hype and was interested in learning more about it. After reading I decided to start my first Whole30 on Aug 1st. I have been loving it so far, fighting the sugar dragon is easy when u feel this good! But what is most amazing is that not only am I doing the Whole30, my parents picked up the book and they are doing it too! They are pretty new to the whole healthy/clean eating so I do my best giving them recipes they will like (southern food loving folks). This cookbook would truly be a blessing in our lives! Thanks xoxo
I liked The Clothes Make the Girl and tweeted @Melicious11 and @paleOMG!
And I think I should win because I always enter contests and NEVER WIN ANYTHING. Plus, I’ve been meaning to buy Well Fed but my recent grad budget is preventing me to do anything but steal chocolate PB almonds and chocolate yogurt pretzels from the bulk section at whole foods. #NOTpaleo #helpme
ps…I just moved to Denver and really appreciate your blog!
My friend showed me this book a few months back and she loves it. I look forward to discovering all the yummy inside!
Already follow on Twitter and FB, been wanting this book for a while now! I am a newbie cook and I would love to get my hands on some new recipes for our primal feasting needs! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I liked her page AND tweeted to her!! I would LOVE to win this cookbook because I am in DESPERATE NEED of new ideas for veggies in particular (and yes, when I put caps, I am yelling) and I was reading your blog on my iPhone when I saw that velvety butternut squash and I came super close to running into a pole and biffing it, out of sincere shock and awe. I’ve also looked at every bookstore in my little podunk, New Mexico town and I cannot find it anywhere!! So I need it!!!
i would LOVE to have this cookbook! i decided to start having monthly dinner parties in an effort to show my friends and family how wonderful real health food is!! between your recipes and the recipes in well-fed, how could i not convert all the people i love :)
OMG! A paleo cookbook with recipes for great food. I am on that!
Juli, im a fan, you’re the one that got me started on paleo in the first place. I think your hilarious. Also this book would look great next to my coffee machine. Oh yeah it’s my birthday on friday… Soo that would be a freeking nice gift, plus its my first crossfit competition on saturday the 11th. Oyyy i’m so excited! I’m just sayin it’s my birthday… Just sayin
Anyways i love to eat… I’ m hungry.
My husband has struggled with health issues for years and has been following the Paleo diet for several months now. The challenge has been to find new recipes that go beyond “hunk of meat” and veggies. Your blog has been really helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Juli- I’d love to win this cookbook because I just got done with 30 days of strict Paleo and REALLY want to do it again but am feeling unmotivated because I feel like I am running out of ideas. Im a college student in AL and having a cook book to follow is so crucial for me bc I am retarded without one. HAHA. Thanks!
Holy ballsack that’s a lot of comments…
I would love this cookbook! I love Middle Eastern flavors, and really appreciate Melissa’s no sweetener, no dairy type recipes-less modifying for me!
I follow @melicious11 on Twitter, and also like on FB. I tweeted as well. I would love to win this cookbook because I am just beginning my paleo journey, and would like additional resources to help me along. Thanks!
I would love to win the cookbook so that I can stay more committed to the Paleo diet!
All done!!! Just began my Paleo journey & loving it!!
I’ve been wanting to get her book so this would be a great win!! *fingers crossed*
Love love love your posts!!! Recipes are fabulous!!!
Liked, tweeted, and I would love to have this cookbook, because I’m new to this and really need ideas for recipes! I have no idea what I’m doing and it’s rather daunting…
I would love the book to use as a new source of recipes to keep me PaleOMG excited!!!
Though I’ve been blogging in Austin for five years, and interested in the paleo diet for two and a half, I somehow just heard of Melissa’s amazing blog a couple of weeks ago, through the Food Blogger Alliance!
I recently found out, six years after my diagnosis, that people with Hashimoto’s Disease (the autoimmune form of hyopthyroidism) should avoid gluten! This has been the impetus I needed to seriously give paleo a long term try, having previously flirted with the Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson a couple of times (and with great results – I just didn’t stick to it!).
I recently downloaded the free preview to Well Fed, and I’d love to have the whole cookbook to work from as I continue on this tasty, healthy journey. Thanks!
..because I’ve been eating unhealthy far too long and I would love to use it as a reference and set an example for my patients that eating paleo is much healthier than the carb loaded food pyramid encouraged by most healthcare providers.
Like The Clothes Make the Girl on Facebook and I want to win this cookbook because I’m a coobook addicted! Love from Italy!
I would love to have some paleo recipes that other folks would enjoy, as opposed to the mess I usually throw together for myself!
I need this cookbook! I’m in a cooking rut and I need to get out!
Oh I want to win this cookbook for so many reasons! I love cooking but I am a high school student so I don’t have a lot of time to browse recipes/ do fancy cooking during the school year. A book filled with easy recipes for everyday and more complicated recipes for days I have more time would be amazing! Besides, reading cookbooks is really fun… xD
I would love to win this cookbook! You make it sound brilliant, so even if I don’t win, I will definitely go check it out. I could always use more ideas on paleo things to cook :) Thanks!!!
Super interested in paleo lifestyle – would love a user-friendly resource such as the Well Fed Cookbook!!! Pick Me!
I would LOVE to win this cookbook! I am also a huge fan of Melissa… as an awesome human being and awesome Paleo blogger. Would be super excited to try and share these recipes!
I would LOVE to have this cookbook too. I have celiac and am extreeeeeemly gluten intolerant so I never eat out or in someone else’s kitchen. Luckily, I like to cook so that helps. However, since going paleo to help heal even further, I am really struggling with meals! It’s hard to figure out what to make, and to find a variety of foods and tastes to be satisfied. The cookbook would help a great deal. THANK YOU!
I go to both you and Melissa’s website for receipe ideas. You both do a great job! We have been Paleo since Feb. and have had great results. Our friends and family have joined in on the Paleo fun and changed the way they eat too! I never understood the power of food and how it can make you look and feel until I went Paleo. Not only did my workouts improve but my every day energy did too!! I would LOVE to win a copy of Melissa’s book to try new receipes and cook them for my friends and family!!
I’d love to own this cookbook! The recipes on her site are awesome and the tone everything is written in is extremely engaging!
I already like her on FB and I have previewed this cookbook and would love to win it!
I’m new to Paleo (this is my third week!), so I’d really love some new ideas about what to cook… ones tasty enough to convince my husband to join. :)
I would love to win this cookbook because I am obsessed with finding new amazing paleo recipes through pinterest, blogs, etc. I would enjoy a nice hard copy version so my ipad can stop getting splattered with bacon grease and coconut oil.
I would love this cookbook because I love all things Paleo and I love to cook. I am constantly in search of new and exciting recipes to try and this would be a great reference for me :)
Liked Facebook – no problem cuz I do. Commenting here – no problem. I don’t have Twitter…..can I still enter!? Please, pretty please – insert begging here! I would really enjoy this book for my new journey.
Hi!!! Thanks so much for the giveaway, first if all!
I would absolutely love to win this cookbook because I have been trying very hard to be a clean -and as close to paleo as possible- eater… However my mom sometimes makes things that aren’t very paleo, so you can imagine how much harder that makes it! But she likes to cook and I think having this book would really motivate her to cook these delicious and healthy paleo recipes!! Not only would it be great for me but for my whole family. And I can even start to cook up some things by myself to get started on cooking food I love haha :)
Thanks again!
Need some paleo cookbooks now that I should donate all my old school non paleo cookbooks!
I love your blog. I love Melissa’s blog. I love paleo, cooking, and new recipes. EASY.
I am feeling great on Paleo but want some new recipes. I like to look at books to while cooking reminds me of my Mom doing it old school.
A buddy of mine at the gym recommended this cookbook and said everything was awesome. Can’t wait to try it out.
I have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. all the drugs have failed, diet is the only card I have left to play. This would really help play that card.
I am a FB follower of TCMTG, and tweeted as well.
I MUST own this cook book irl (in real life) because I just borrowed it on Friday night from my Kindle library… and spent the entire day Saturday reading the book front to back!! (I honestly never knew you could read a cookbook front to back like that. This book is unlike ANY cookbook I’ve ever seen or owned). I MUST own a hard copy for my kitchen (I have to give my virtual copy back to the Kindle library… sadface). Please oh please pick me! ;-)
This is already on my list of Paleo cookbooks that i want to buy. I love Melissa’s foodmap in ISWF. Congratulations on the giveaway and I hope this means we may see a book from you too!
I started eating paleo 8 weeks ago as a 6 week challenge to myself. I lost 9 pounds & 16 inches in that 6 weeks!! And I broke my 3-a-day Dr. Pepper-must-have-caffeine-to-function addiction. I can’t even estimate how many hours I spend online looking for Paleo recipes for me, with hopes that the rest of my non-Paleo family will eat & enjoy. I would love, love, LOVE to have a cookbook to reference!
I am FINALLY getting fully committed to Paleo – I have had several “false starts!” I am on Day 7 of Whole30 and would love to have the Well Fed CookBook to keep me motivated and on-track :)
I already follow Mel on Facebook and don’t twitter. I don’t have her book already, but I would definitely take it. I do read her blog regularly, and she rocks (not as much as Juli B, but she did roller derby for gawd’s sake).
I would LOVE to win this cookbook so I can get some new recipes to convince my overweight, diabetic, arthritic, insomniac, high-blood-pressurized husband that eating paleo isn’t boring! I’ve been doing pretty well cooking-wise so far, he eats what I cook and always speaks highly of my creations, but would love to wow him and not go back to the same old thing time and time again. Try as I might, he won’t eat paleo of his own accord, just when I cook for him. Left to his own devices its cream-filled-sugar-crusted-gluten. Maybe leaving this cookbook out on the counter will entice him!
Almost 1 week into the 21-day sugar detox and have been sifting through all of your recipes. They are all glorious and I’m looking to dive into some new recipes. Plus, if the pictures in this book are as flippin’ awesome as you make them sound, it’s going to make the experience of cooking even more awesome.
JULI !!! Pick me! Pick Me! Why? Because I’m a paleo newbie (just in for 2 weeks so far and loving it) and I need lots of recipes and inspiration. PLUS, I live in Southeast Alaska…cool huh? PLUS, I promise to feed you all of the awesome oysters, dungess crab, halibut, salmon, ling cod, yellow eye, black tail deer that you can possibly eat if you if visit me in Alaska!
I love your blog and your attitude! :-) U Rock the Paleo World!
Honestly I read a dozen posts for the cookbook entry of people strapped for cash looking to get healthy, and I thought WOW how will Juli ever choose? So much love to you and good luck with that, myself I went to Mel’s blog saved it in my favorites and ordered the cookbook online, it’ll be here by the end of the week pretty close to instant gratification! Thank you for your blog and the introduction to theclothesmakethegirl I count you among my blessings :-)
As a student, I’m always looking for new recipes that I can pack in my lunches! Also, as a student, I’m really really broke. :( I love paleomg.com and if Juli says that her book is good… than it must be AWESOME. :)
I just started eating Paleo and doing CrossFit a few months ago. I’ve lost 21 pounds and 6% body fat. Thankfully, my husband has started following the program, which I am so relieved about because heart disease runs in his family. I need recipes to make him happy and keep him eating this way!
I’m a recent fan of yours and Mel. I have a similar thyroid issue to Mel, and not too long ago we found out my mom has Celiac (good chance I could too). My biggest hurdle is finding good recipes to incorporate that my whole family will love – my husband still doesn’t quite “buy in” to paleo or gluten free. This would be a nice step in the right direction for us!
I’d love this cookbook to help my picky fiance find more paleo recipes he likes!
I have been experimenting with paleo recipes over the past few weeks and am new to this whole experience, thus I need all the help I can get and think this cookbook would be great way for me to get started! Just joined my first box today and excited to commit to a new style of eating. Thanks so much :)
I am trying to start eating Paleo, So I decided to do the 21-Day sugar detox first. I really need a good cookbook to help me make this transition fun and definitely easier. I am really looking forward to see how I will feel and see how my body will change. I have seen pictures of Well Fed and they look DELISH.
more paleo recipes and ideas would be great!
Hmm. It is nice of you to give something away. I always feel a sad sinking when I realize that you have to have a facebook or twitter for something like this. Bleh, I gave up fb years ago because it was siphoning all my time into a surreal online world. Anyway, I would love to win said cookbook, despite the fact that I don’t have those communication outlets…and the fact that I am about the millionth comment. Ha, bet your bored of reading this already, sorry, ill let you move on to a qualified candidate. I always have your site for recipes and so far they have been thoroughly awesome, so thanks!
Eeeekkk.. OMG!! This cookbook is on my amazon wishlist. I’m a single mom to an 8 yr old boy, and we’re in the process of going Paleo. My son is willing to try most anything, but finding something he actually likes is a little more challenging. We do however keep mango honey mustard on hand from your superbowl blog.. he loves that! This book would definitely bring added creativity into my kitchen! I would also like to share these recipes with my parents who both suffer life threatening diseases, mostly due to what they put in their mouth. Thanks for this opportunity! Keep kickin ass and dancin in the kitchen! :)
I am a college student studying nutrition at RIT in Rochester, NY and I am fairly new to the paleo diet so this cookbook would really help me see what is out there as far as recipes. Also being a college student I do not have the money to buy any books besides those required for me to buy that’s why I love yours and Melissa’s blog! I also work full time leaving the time for me to practice cooking and to try different recipes very limited. This could help me to plan all my meals for the week ahead of time or at least to work with the food that I do have on hand better :)
P.S. I,m on day 1 of my Balanced Bites 21-day Sugar Detox. There is a huge bowl of mini candy bars sitting right next to my desk and I haven’t had one yet! Although I’m pretty sure I can smell the chocolate through the wrappers, is that possible? Lets see if I can make it through 20 more days!
Done Done and OMG I want this book so bad!!!!
Why do I want this cookbook?
1. Because I have been eating Paleo for the last two and a half months and have never felt so energetic, healthy and hale in my life – Crossfit and Paleo are making me more fit and in love with my body than ever before, and I’d love some new, creative recipes to supplement my meals!
2. Because Melissa is badass and posts incredible Paleo recipes, so I know it’s sure to be good.
3. Because you, Julie, are also badass and post incredible Paleo recipes, so I take your opinion that Melissa’s cookbook is awesome very seriously. :)
I love Paleo. I love your website. I love your tanks and headbands! I have wanted that book since it came out. I can buy it, but it’s a giveaway! Who doesn’t love that?! I am really trying to get more information and more recipes so I can get my sister and my husband into the Paleo life. My son is only 2, so if I get them all into it, that’s the best way to show that this is the way to be. I love my family and I love to have everyone happy and healthy. Sometimes Paleo isn’t easy when you are around friends, but if I can cook things that everyone will love it will be! Thank you for writing this blog. Even if I don’t win this prize I still want you to know that I read your blog every day and I really appreciate your time and dedication to sharing your life and recipes with us. You are awesome! :o)
I’m trying to get back into shape after a few years of a pity party. I went to the police academy and was injured and since then it’s been tough mentally and physically getting ready to return to the academy. Its been 5 years and now I’m a little bit older and more mature! In preparation for the academy I am starting paleo and continuing my Crossfit! I want to make sure that I stay fit and continue with lifetime fitness in a career that can really take a toll on your body. I HOPE I WIN THE COOK BOOK! Im keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks for all you do!
I find Melissa to be an inspiring woman; her story really hit home with me as I can relate on multiple levels. Also, I am an avid crossfitter and just recently switched to the Paleo lifestyle and am noticing great performance and energy results. I am not doing the whole30, but I am strict to being completely natural. My new favorite thing to do is to print recipes from your website and cook them for my crossftting boyfriend. He isn’t Paleo yet, but I intend to bring him over by making really delicious dishes.
I want to win this cookbook because it’s an entire book with recipes that Paleo and non-Paleo eaters would enjoy.
If this is a random giveaway, I am totally random. I have to say that yours is the first blog I read every day…..you always make me giggle. And usually made me hungry with your recipes! I am a paleo newbie, so this book would mean the world to me. What does that really mean, anyway? Ok, I would cook every recipe out of the book and convince my coworkers using the awesome info in the book. And give you all the credit for it.
As the primary cook in the household I am always looking for new paleo recipes to use. And after cooking a lot of your recipes if this book as the Juli stamp of approval then I want it!
Would LOVE to win this! Semi-new to Paleo and would like some new ideas (besides the wonderful recipes you come up with!!). Thanks!
I just started eating paleo. I love cooking and new recipes (how I found your blog) and would looovvveee to win the cookbook!
I love to eat!
I would love to win this cookbook as I am new to Paleo eating. I started Paleo eating as a way to help me avoid all of my allergies and food intolerances!! So far I’ve been hunting blogs and sites for recipes but it would be so nice to have a book to go to!!
I’ve been crossfitting since Feb and have certainly struggled with the Paleo “lifestyle”….why is chocolate so good?! I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and check back everyday, love the recipes and…well you! lol
Liked her on FB!
I discovered your blog when searching for yummy & simple paleo friendly desserts and found your fudge recipe! OMG I made 3 batches then had to tell myself to STOP! I started the paleo lifestyle in May and have really enjoyed it. Many of your recipes I have tried and simply love. Cannot wait to try the Creamy Avocado & Spinach Chicken Pasta – probably this week! Anyway, I have turned many on to your blog – you are “real” and I love that! Hope you are enjoying your vacation!
I NEED this cookbook! I have a 15 year old daughter who wants to start eating paleo. We already eat pretty clean, but beans, dairy and rice are HUGE staples in our house. This cookbook might convince me to become paleo.
I’m working on my first Whole30 after reading ISWF and would love some more recipe ideas/inspiration!
I follow Melissa’s blog as well, and love everything I’ve made from there so far!
I would love to win Well Fed! I currently only have one Paleo cook book and am looking to add more. Every new great recipe just makes it that much easier to love this way of eating!
I’m also hosting a giveaway on my blog this week for another book…!
I’d love to win this cookbook because I’ve been really making an effort to have a paleo-focused diet lately, and there really are only so many ways I can cook bacon. :D
I’d really like a copy of this book b/c I’m doing the Whole30 in September and it would help SO much!
I would totally love to win this! Melissa’s recipes–the ones I’ve tried from her blog–are uniformly excellent. My husband loves the Meat and Spinach Muffins. Also the Turkish Chopped Salad.
Your blog is lots funnier, though! You make me laugh every day.
I would love to win this cookbook because 1) I’ve been trying to be strict paleo for some time, but keep struggling to come up with fresh, new meal ideas and 2) all the recipe pictures in this book look so darn delicious!
Just finished a 6wk paleo challenge at my gym. Lost a total of 30lbs and 10seconds off my 2k row time :) Would love to have a great new cookbook to get some new inspiration to keep me going on my journey. Thanks Juli!
I need this book because Mel helped me like liver and she is the Sh*t!!
I LOVE to eat but have been struggling to keep it Paleo to help fuel my Crossfit workouts. I would love to read this book and practice what i learn. Who knows, maybe I’ll start a blog to inspire others as you have inspired me. leondrus.thornton@gmail.com
I need this book so I can read what everyone has been raving about for the last few months!
I already follow her/like on Facebook :-)
Been researching paleo for weeks now, reading all over the place and slowly replacing my normal recipes with paleo ones…just discovered Melissa’s blog and recipes, and am just blown away by it and the food! Would love to get my hands on the cookbook, so that I can stop using all my office’s copy-paper for printing out from her website :) Trying to convert the whole family over to paleo and I think this cookbook could be the thing the straw that gets the camel to do it!
I would love, love, love to win this cookbook and add it to my recipe book library. Ok, let’s be honest, it would be the start of my recipe book library…even more reason I need to win it! :) Thank you!
I tweeted, like you on facebook and I really want to win because I have this cookbook on my wish list already! https://twitter.com/HSlater351/status/232548549274005504
Because I’m obsessive about collecting cookbooks and since most of my previous ones are food I no longer eat…I need to beef up my collection with this.
I have heard great things about the Well Fed cookbook and I love Melissa’s blog! I’m doing the Whole30 right now (Day 6!) and it would be great to have some more recipes to add to my arsenal.
I would love this cookbook. I have been eating paleo for about 60 days and it is amazing. I am slimmer and fitting into clothes I have not worn for over 1 year!
I don’t have a twitter, but I liked on FB… who doesn’t need a great Paleo cookbook? I am always on the search for more delicious inspiration!!!
I started crossfitting in January because I wanted to get my body back, and because it fits my personality – intense. I heard about the Paleo diet from other crossfitters and thought they were nuts – no grains? no dairy? Well, I found out in April of this year I have been suffering from systemic candida for the past three years and have no choice but to eat a paleo like diet for the rest of my days. I would love to have this book because I am tired of eating meat and veggies for every meal. I need some awesome recipes to make me feel good and happy that I can’t eat any more refined sugar, which I am absolutely powerless over, btw. I need some awesomeness and this would do it :)
I’ve liked ‘The Clothes Make The Girl’ on Facebook and now I’ll share why I’d love a copy. After having my son and a divorce, I started doing CrossFit. With that came Paleo. It’s really changed my life. After a traumatic military experience, I had been medicated for anxiety, but with the help of Paleo and CrossFit, I’m not med-free!!!
I’ve been wanting this book for a while, but keep putting off until ‘the next paycheck.’ :-D
I need the book because my husband and kids (ages 1 and 3) are counting on me to make delicious foods for them and since I am a stay at home mom, I’m poor!
I’d LOVE new ways to cook paleo and new ideas to try on my family.
i NEED this book to keep making creating recipes for my family. They are getting bored of plain old steak and chicken :)
I would love to win Well Fed because although I’ve been paleo for over a year and a half, my family is still resistant to the idea. I would love to be able to cook with my family and show that that healthy food can taste good, too! There are so many family traditions that revolve around food, and I’ve had to exclude myself from many of them, but with this cookbook, we can start new traditions, and my mom and sister and I can create new meals that the whole family would enjoy. I have tons of cookbooks that I can no longer use because they are all based on SAD, but this book, which is Whole30 approved, would be a great way to jump start my family into a healthy lifestyle.
I would love to win this cookbook. Starting on the Paleo journey for my stomach issues I’ve been battling for years!!!
I would love to win a copy of this book. I am trying to find the motivation to change my SAD and start following a Paleo lifestyle. It’s a bit overwhelming and having tools (like a fabulous cookbook) help immensely.
I just keep thinking that I have to go all “The Hunger Games” on this comment and say something that will make you remember me!
In reality, I am a Mother of 2 who needs all the variety and ideas she can get to keep a 5 year old and 2 year old eating paleo right along with their Father and me!!
Melissa’s blog is awesome and so is yours so if you say her book is awesome it must be off the effing charts and I want it!
Hope to hear from you soon :)
I absolutely love Melissa’s recipes and would LOVE to have this book to add to my collection! :)
I LOVE this give away! I am a daily reader of both paleomg.com and theclothesmakethegirl.com! Making this the best combination of awesomeness! I would love to add this cookbook to my kitchen to help shake things up for dinner :)
well, day one was supposed to start today. #fail so i really need the book, i have been thinking about buying it for the past month.
I have just started eating Paleo style and I’ve seen HuGE results in my body and energy. I’ve been following Melissa for a little while now and would love this book to expand my knowledge and learn to cook an even greater variety of foods!
Just finished reading It Starts with Food. Ordering Practical Paleo today. Finished Primal Blueprint. Well Fed would be a great addition to my growing library of Paleosity. Will use the recipes only for awesome and for feeding my new little cave baby grandson.
I am always looking for new Paleo recipes. One of the problems I tend to have is that I eat the same things over and over again. I’ve already found a bunch of good recipes on “The Clothes Make the Girl” so I’m sure this will be a great addition to my library.
Thanks!
GAWD I love this book. I already bought it, so I’m not putting myself in the running. But this book is so much more than just recipes. It’s really a great user manual to cooking paleo and Melissa is so responsive via emial or Twitter. I love her!
I did all the stuff required! I would love the book because I love Melissa’s blog and think it would be fabulous to do Julie & Julia style experiment with it. She’s got some great content on her blog!
I’ve been dealing with dieting and bulimia since I was 12. I’ve tried raw, vegan raw vegan, veggie, atkins, so beach, etc and so far the only thing that has worked for me and for my body has been Paleo. I feel better, stronger, and safer than ever. I’ve found a way to deal with food where it doesn’t run my life or destroy my body. But I am stuck for recipes, so having this book would be so helpful not to mention totally awesome!
commented, liked and tweeted! #paleoprincess
I would love to have this cookbook! I have been “winging” paleo for about 1.5 years now, and it would be so nice to have more recipes, especially ethnic food ideas. Plus, my husband really needs structure when it comes to cooking, so this book would help him contribute more meals to our family– an extra benefit for me! :)
Putting it very plainly:
1) I am super happy converting to paleo lifestyle, and would love to continue indefinitely, especially with a nice cookbook!
2) I am a BROKEass grad student and will not be buying any cookbooks myself anytime soon.
Luckily, your blog is awesome so if I don’t get the cookbook, I’ve still got this gem. Thanks Juli!
We have been eating paleo since February, when my then 15-year old son started a paleo challenge with his CrossFit gym. I’ve made a few of Melissa’s recipes from her website and I’d love to have the cookbook!
Your Maple Walnut Sweet Potato Loaf cures all ills and Melissa’s Cocoa Toasted Cauliflower has been a mainstay in this house. Looking forward to enjoying more recipes from both of you!
Thanks!!
I would love to win this cookbook! I am just starting to dip my toe into Paleo, and am getting bored with my recipes very quickly. Would love to see some new ideas! Thanks!
I would love to have this cookbook because I have been doing paleo for a month now and I’m trying to inspire my friends and family to join in the lifestyle with me. I’d love to have the cookbook to create new meals and continue keeping the lifestyle yummy and exciting!
i signed up for twitter for this giveaway. lol. don’t even know if i tweeted right or not.
I would love to have this cookbook so that I can have more references and ideas of how to continue improving my eating habits and keep feeding my body what it needs. It would also be a great tool to have to show my family and friends how to feed their body in a more healthier way and see that they dont have to go to extremes to do it.
I would love the book because we are always trying to convert more of our meals to paleo! The more paleo recipes the better
SO excited about this giveaway! I just started the WHOLE 30 today & love it. My biggest issue is finding recipes that are okay for both my boyfriend & myself! He feels deprived if he doesn’t have rice with every meal while I on the other hand.. well, you follow a paleo lifestyle. You know how that goes! Fingers Crossed!!
Why do I want to win this book? Lot’s of reasons: I am a paleo nut! I would love to try some new recipes. AND to be honest…I have never won anything in my life:(
I have been a Paleo gal for a few years now I did Whole 30 to start on the path, just like Clothes Make the Girl is doing right now- had a bit of bump staying on track when I got sick in May – its been a long haul since but I’m getting there! I could really use an incentive right about now and a copy of Well Fed would certainly qualify as one!
Show some East Cost love and pick me as the winner for Well Fed! I would religiously try every single recipe and report back my findings as input for Well Fed – Chapter Two!
I’m currently in search of my first “paleo book” to read and I’d love it to be this one! I suffer from chonic digestive distress that no doctor has been able to treat. Paleo is my next attempt at something resembling health. Please. :)
I love Melissa’s culinary sense and would love to have one of her books! Melicious rocks!
Totally intrigued… I’m trying to buckle down with Paleo and most definitely need some tasty, creative help in the recipe department! And super bonus points if they happen to be recipes I can coerce my husband and kids into eating too!
I would totes LOVE TO WIN this cookbook b/c my boyfriend has recently gotten me into CrossFit and started eating Paleo and this cookbook would be a #rad addition to this lifestyle change!!
i’ve been hearing such great things about the content of this book, and i’m definitely trying to clean up my diet and get closer to paleo now that i’ve been cross-fitting for a few months. would love to win!!
OMG! I would love love love love to have this cookbook. I love Clothes Make the Girl, it’s one of my favorite blogs (besides PaleOMG, of course). I have thyroid issues too and it’s so nice to read about other people’s situations and what they’re doing to heal themselves. And her food looks AMAZING.
I have loved her site forever now. For me, this cookbook would serve as an anchor. I was doing quite well on a stricter form of Paleo up until last month when, due to a trip, living with other non-paleo people, and being tired of eating bland food, I resorted to eating more things I shouldn’t be eating (like an abundance nuts, fruit, too many starches, too much chocolate, alcohol etc…). Consequently, I’m losing a lot of the progress I made and some of my health problems are coming back. ): I do use the recipes on her web site, Yet, I feel that having a physical cookbook in the kitchen would encourage me to keep up my healthy cooking habits. I’m just a tactile person in general and like to see/touch/hold things. The computer can’t always fulfill that need.
Whoa, that was way too long and way too serious. Honestly, I really need to get rid of my bloated stomach so I can belly-dance in public again! haha
Would LOVE to win this. I’m a new CrossFit-ter and a new Paleo eater. I’m about a month in and always in need of good meal recipes.
I would love to win this cookbook because the recipes sound great and I love cookbooks that have pictures so you can have an idea of how the finished product should look!
I’d love this cookbook! I’ve been paleo for almost 6 months and am trying to feed my whole family this way – its hard to stay creative and keep them excited about it, so this cookbook would be awesome to have! Thanks! (I don’t tweet… so, you know)
I downloaded Mel’s thirty page sampler from the book a while back and loved it! It has such a cool aesthetic and definitely helped with meal planning.
I would love to win a copy of the cookbook! I just started on the Paleo diet and am constantly looking for new and different recipes to keep things fresh. Many of your recipes are on my Paleo Pinterest board! :)
Have already liked TheClothesMaketheGirl on fb. I mean whats not to like, right?? On day 27 of Whole 30 and feel so F’ing good I cant stand it> Oh, and it really isnt “hard” I’m a hospice nurse-I see hard everyday.. and choosing to eat good wholesome food is NOT HARD, just like Melissa and Dallas say!! Would love to have the cookbook in my hands to help create more and more fabulous food!! Have tried and failed x 2 on the homemade mayo-but have a couple of great salad drsgs now! LOL
Hello, I’ve been training hard & eating Paleo since March 19th (thanks to my MMA friend), so far I’ve lost 35 lbs. & I feel awesome! I’m aiming to cut down another 25 lbs. so I can be in tip top shape to compete in Cycling & Cyclocross races by this fall. Recently I was referred to paleoomg.com & theclothesmakethegirl.com by one of my friends when I said that I’m looking for more recipes so I don’t get bored (btw <3 your site & the delicious eats, really I'm not sucking up). Paleo isn't a diet for me, it's a lifestyle change that I'm sticking to. I know the Well Fed cookbook will make my wildest Paleo kitchen dreams come true so please please make that happen! Thanks for the opportunity & hooray for your first giveaway! XoXo <3 Nico
This would be awesome to have!! I may have to open a twitter account just for this!!
Can’t wait to try all the recipes that are in it. The ones on the website are great and bringing some new things into the mix is always good.
I started introducing myself to Paleo recently, and have felt great!! I think this would be a fantastic book to have so I can use it to help introduce my husband and children to Paleo as well.
Been doing PALEO for two and a half months, you blog makes me feel less insane esp when those chocolate or doughnut cravings hit! Thanks for writing!
I need to add to my paleo library and would this book would be a perfect addition. Not to mention I need more recipes around to get creative for the hubby since he has finally agreed to jump on board with the paleo lifestyle:)
I have to win this cookbook. Besides the fact it is my bday on the 11th (I know, who cares!), I am doing this Paleo and Crossfit thing and determined to get healthy this year. SOOOO, send it right over please!!
I would love to win this cookbook! I am always looking for good Paleo recipes for my family. I love The Clothes Make the Girl as well as PaleOMG!! I need inspiration!
I NEED this cook book! My husband was diagnosed earlier this year with a rare autoimmune this order so we are eating Paleo to help heal the gut. I have the Everyday Paleo cookbook but want this on really bad since diagnosis m husband has been off work for 6 months so not really buying extras right now but it would be helpful in his healing!
Because I have an empty ‘slot’ in my recipe shelf! But actually, I recently started incorporating a paleo diet after being heckled about my diet for a long time by really fit and healthy crossfitting men in my life. After starting crossfit, I started to cut out thing after thing and have been reading your blog and finding great recipes and fun things to experiment with. (just made the chicken nuggets and accidentally put the coconut oil IN them..and then fried them in it, too…it was a delicious mistake). I would love to have more recipes to try and love to explore in the kitchen, so this book would be real groovy! and it would be pretty cool to be the winner of your very first giveaway! Thanks!
Done and Done! I really, really hope I can win this book so I can create new and exciting recipes throughout my pregnancy!
I love Paleo! I love the Whole30! I love cookbooks made out of paper! I need new recipes too. Thank you for doing this. :)
I want (and need) Well Fed because I have this little problem with food porn. I love cookbooks, just can’t afford them!! Also hope to leave it on coffee table to inspire my non-Paleo eating family. Slackers…. (Like both y’all…. haven’t started tweeting)
I must admit, I already have this cookbook. But as the unofficial paleo guru at my CF box, I would love to give it to the winner of our current Whole45 challenge going on right now. Thanks for the opportunity! http://www.redstickcrossfit.com :)
All done :) I have heard great things about this book! I am very new to the paleo lifestyle. I am enjoying how I feel on it, but it is definitely a struggle for me since I am not a very good cook and not very creative ;)
Good Luck on your first giveaway!
I LOVE Mel and her efforts to put out a cookbook. I haven’t had the cash to buy it yet but would love get one free from this giveaway.
By the way, I think PaleoOMG is rockin’ cool too. I’m making your cinnamon chipotle sliders tonight. :D
We are fairly new to Paleo after being vegetarians for almost 10 years. Thanks for the giveaway! cokelush at gmail
I forgot to say I’m a fan of TCMTG on fb. :)
If I win this book, I will carry it with me everywhere and take pictures with it in all locations. Travelocity got nothing on me!
I would love to win this cookbook. I am just beginning to eat Paleo and need some ideas for new recipes! The more recipes the easier I can plan my meals for my stupid busy life!
I love your blog and Melissa’s blog. I have seen her book through fellow crossfitters and have heard nothing but rave reviews about Well Fed. I would love to add this book to my growing collection of recipes printed from your blog :)
I am just getting into paleo and looking for new and exciting recipes to try. I found your website and have been trying some of your recipes. Yum and Double Yum!!! Thanks so much for all that you do to help those of us just starting out figure out what to cook and how to eat Paleo!
Melissa’s cookbook is on my list of books to buy so that would be super sweet to win a copy! If not, I’ll definitely be buying it. :)
Because my friend said “Paleo meals are always boring” and I love proving people wrong. >:)
Because I want to continue wowing all my friends with new, fun, and healthy recipes! But mainly because I am somewhat new to crossfit and the paleo lifestyle and I am loving it! Pick me!!!
I really, really, really want this cookbook… plain and simple… thanks :)
I’ve followed Melissa’s journal since 2010 and she has been nothing but inspiring. Whether it’s a get-to-know-you blog entry with her readers, sharing her struggles and accomplishments in the gym, “smupdates”, or just random musings, she always makes me smile. It’s her motivation to keep pushing herself and reach new goals that encourage me to seek the same within myself. Having the privilege of owning Well Fed would not only add a *squee* to my voice but all the more inspiration to my kitchen. It’s a faster and even more intimate way for me to connect with her as I’ll have a hands-on opportunity to try her dishes as I’m not always able to print everything out from her site. Thanks for the opportunity!
I liked the page on Facebook, but I don’t have Twitter, so I hope Facebook alone is good enough! I would love to win this cookbook. I’ve been hearing lots of good things about it so I would LOVE to try the recipes :)
Been doing a modified paleo diet for a while now and think Melissa’s Well Fed cookbook would provide just the inspiration needed to keep me on track and get even more committed to this way of eating. So far I’ve enjoyed her blog recipes, and love that she uses such wonderful spices and unique combinations of things!
I love Melissa’s site and would love to have her cookbook!
p.s. nice to discover your blog too!!! ~ via your giveaway announced on Mel’s The Clothes Make the Girl facebook page! :)
Thanks for the chance to win, I would so love to have this cookbook!
Following on twitter and tweeted here:

Thanks! cokelush at gmail
I found out I am allergic to all grains and dairy. I have stumbled upon paleo on my search for “whatever can i eat with these allergies?”. I have been searching for recipes and anything I can find about paleo. I came upon the whole9 and their whole30 and have heard that the cookbook to have is well fed. Well I am disabled and literally have 0 income so I cannot afford to buy your recipe book. For my birthday I have recieved the It Starts With Food and would love your book to compliment the whole30 and help me on having variety. I asked for your book for my birthday also, but I guess they went with the cheaper of the two books. I love ISWF, and know that I would love your book also. Please pick me.
I am obsessed with food, but get frustrated with cooking. I’m new to paleo and looking for fun, yummy recipes to keep my love affair with food strong!
I read and lurk on your blog frequently, yet hardly ever leave comments. And now there’s a free book and I make sure to comment. How tacky is that?
I do love your blog, though, both your funny written content and the delicious recipes. This would be the first ever Paleo cookbook to join my collection in the kitchen! I want something to show friends and family when they inquire about what I eat. And I could always, always use new ideas for menu planning.
I found her Mayo recipe online and I want to be buried in it when I die. I wouldn’t mind if there was a little Cumin and cilantro added either. I would love love love this book as I am always searching her site for recipes. My poor computer doesn’t like to be in the kitchen when I’m cooking. I need this DINO CHOW BOOK!!!
I started Paleo a few months back and was turned on to your website by one of my fellow boot campers. I love all of your recipes and look forward to making something new each day. My two boys and husband enjoy all of your things too! Thanks for a great website for amazing food!!
I borrowed Well Fed from my local library, but unfortunately they made me return it so I would love to have a copy of my own. Thanks for the give away.
1 & 2 done! Would love to win this cookbook. My husband and I have been following Paleo for 6 months now and would love to have a book of recipes, especially one that I have heard so many good reviews about!
P.S Juli, you should totally put all of your recipes into a cookbook, they are great!
I love to eat the Paleo way! Your recipes are great and I was getting bored with the cookbook I have. I love your blog and am excited to have Melissa’s cook book!!! Feeling great the Paleo way!!
I would LOVE this cookbook! I am starting my first Whole30, and my husband and I are trying to collect as many resources as we can get our hands on to make it a successful experience!
I would love to win because it would be an awesome treat for my birthday (August 13). I love Mel’s blog and would really love to be able to curl up with Well Fed.
My hubby and I are on day 5 of eating Paleo and we really don’t know what the hell we are doing, we’re sort of winging it. I’ve lost 4 lbs. so far and he’s lost 11, so we must be doing something right. I’d love to have this book so I can figure out how to to this right.
Melissa is awesome! She is a fellow Texan who once admitted to eating bread and cheese in Europe! Oh so scandalous! Like Juli, she is real! And I mean come on, her recipes are amazing! Why would I not want her cookbook?
I’m a Type1 Diabetic, and I just finished my first 30 days of paleo eating and cut my insulin needs in half! I don’t have any paleo books yet, and this one looks amazing! I would love to win this and I hope it would come autographed! Unfortunately, my library doesn’t carry this book.
I would REALLY like to win this cookbook because I just bought “It Starts with Food” thinking that it would be in the same vein as “Clothes Make the Girl.” It is a little too science-y (and discouraging) to me and I’d really like to have a sort of um… friendlier introduction to Paleo eating. :)
I NEED this cookbook just for the jicama home fries recipe! Just saw a picture and they look amazing!
I would love this cookbook! I’m a 42 yr old working mother of two – former marathon runner, and a relative newbie to CrossFit and Paleo (started both in Feb 2012). I love it! My husband and I are cooking paleo at home 100% of the time (except for wine…please don’t make me give up wine … I have a 3 yr old and 7 yr old!) and my next challenge is to get our kids fully transitioned to paleo too! I follow PaleOMG daily, but love my cookbooks too for meal planning!
I’ve been eyeing this book for quite some time! I started living the paleo lifestyle as part of a challenge with my roommates. The challenge ended a number of months ago but I couldn’t give up the lifestyle after all of the changes I’ve noticed… primarily less fatigue and bloating! I’m not a natural-born cook but I know the recipes in this book will inspire me!
I would love to win this cookbook! I’ve been wanting to try eating Paleo but have no idea where to start. I need a treasure trove of recipes to get me going.
I struggle with cooking Paleo as I am trying to feed and teach a 17 and 14 year old along with a picky husband. I mostly don’t succeed and they miss my yummy southern unhealthy cooking. PLEASE give me good yummy reviews so I can prove to them that healthy can mean yummy! Love you Juli!!!
Recipes! Not reviews! Darn autocorrect!
i’m hungry and like books too
This would be amazing to win because we’ve been sort of thrust into the Paleo lifestyle due to my 16 month old daughter’s skin issues. A nutritionist has pretty much suggested going Paleo for her and now me and my husband are getting on board as well. Having some more cookbooks like this one, especially since I want to start a Whole30 (I know her book is Whole30 approved) soon, would be fantastic!
It has been a crazy battle with my overweight parents to get them to eat more primal and leave sugary and carb filled foods behind. My boyfriend owns a copy of Well Fed and boy, IT IS GOOD. If I win the copy, I will share it with my parents who LOVE ethnic food with lots of taste, so I am sure they will not be able to get out of this one! GO PALEO!!
I’d love to win this cookbook because everything I’ve made from PaleOMG has been fantastic, I love everything about your blog, so I can only imagine how amazing this cookbook is! Also, I have a few friends and family members that are interested in going paleo and I’d love to share the recipes/cook for them to show the real reason why I eat paleo–because everything tastes so damn good.
I liked TCMTG on Facebook…and after years finally caved to open a Twitter account…yes, just now to follow @Melicious11 and @paleOMG…Crazy perhaps, but I’m not sure what else screams “pick me! pick me!” better than that!
Thanks for doing the giveaway, I’m excited to come across TCMTG for the first time. A quick look (Moroccan bastila and Pad Thai?!) makes me confident that my global food-inspired soul will be well fed regardless :-)
Wow! A giveaway! I will plead my case by noting that I have been eating paleo for over 2 years now, but still do not own a paleo cookbook. I just use your website and a few others.
I have liked her fb page. I have recently gone paleo and enjoy it but need more great recipes
I am about 2 months in to living paleo and I LOVE your blog! I would love to have a copy of “Well Fed” because I am in the process of transitioning my 3 kids (and hubs) and I need some help! There are really only so many times you can make “ants on a log’ and turkey rolls ups without someone jumping ship and haulin’ it to the drive through (that may or may not have happened…tonight.)
Hooray for cooking that doesn’t gunk up the works.
I’ve been lurking on paleo blogs for literally forever, but it’s been super hard to jump into it. I love the way PaleoOMG presents paleo, and any rec of yours is sure to be phenomenal! :D
My husband and I are just now starting to eat a paleo diet. This cookbook would be perfect for us!!
Hello! I would love to win this cookbook! I’m always looking for new ideas. Love your website and thank you for hosting this giveaway!
:)
SIMPLY because I USE cookbooks! I dont just use em for display!
I am a few weeks into paleo and already getting so many benefits from it! I was at a plateau in my weight loss but going paleo has helped me push past it. I really love your recipes because they’re very delicious and budget friendly. I would love to have another resource to pull from though :)
I would love this because I am new to Paleo and this would be my first Paleo cookbook!!
I started eating paleo about a year ago because of my Dad. He got really into paleo a few years ago as a way to get healthy, and has been slowly been converting the rest of the family. I would love this cookbook, because it would be my first paleo cookbook, and it would also mean that I wouldn’t have to trawl the internet for new recipes all the time.
oh pick me please, I eat healthy (no junk, no sugar, no refined grains, lots of veg) and am always on the prowl for new recipes. Also I’m intrigued by paleo and would like to learn more about it. Thanks!

I would love this cookbook because I have been eating 95% Paleo diet for the past year but have no Paleo cookbooks yet and would love one.
I follow Melissa on twitter and tweeted https://twitter.com/gapey/status/232810908114632704 I also ordered a t-shirt. :)
I just liked Melissa on Facebook.
already like you on facebook!
i would love to win the cookbook because i am trying to make my diet somewhat paleo and this would be a huge help! :)
I just liked Melissa on Facebook. I would love this cookbook because I just started doing some serious research into eating Paleo, even though I have been intrigued by Paleo for awhile now. I have a daughter who is almost four with a serious digestive issue that she’s had pretty much since birth (no one seems to know what is causing it or how to make it better). I am hoping that by eliminating grains, we can heal her gut and have a healthy little girl. I could use all the help I can get and I know this cookbook would help point me in the right direction. Thanks for this great giveaway! :)
I have been mostly paleo for about a year(ish), including one successful Whole30. I’m kind of unofficially in charge of helping the paleo newbies at my CrossFit gym. I would love to have this as a resource to share recipes and spread the love of cooking. Additionally, Melissa is a bad-ass.
Who doesn’t love a new cookbook! I would love this cookbook! I am fairly new to Paleo as well as CrossFit so any help with the food is appreciated as when I get home from my WOD I kinda want to fall into bed so having a cookbook that has all the ideas I could think of would be super helpful. I use your recipes a LOT (i have you on my phone, you’re an ap…you go to the store with me…in a non-creepy way) but any extra info is always helpful. Thanks for doing this and for providing us with your awesome recipes!!
Liked and tweeted (@hopalong15).
I’d love the book because the recipes sound amazing and the Boy and I are trying to eat a lot cleaner and could use new ways to prep.
Since doing a full-month of Paleo in March and being more lenient, on-again off-again since then, I’m trying to garner up all the resources I can to stay on track! A cookbook like this would be such positive inspiration to get cooking so I’m “Well Fed,” too :)

As a paleo newbie, i have no idea how to make delicious dishes with natural foods such as veggies and spices! Also going to college means I’ll have to be really creative with my meals so I would REALLY appreciate a little (actually A LOT) help from a cookbook! Besides, I have to spend don’t-wanna-know-how-much amount of money on textbooks so buying a cookbook is really going to empty my bank account! :p
I have been eyeing this cookbook for a while now, would love to win it! Paleo rocks!
I love eating paleo and what it has done for me and my boyfriend. But sometimes, I feel like I’m just making the same thing over and over and I would like some inspiration in the kitchen. And let my first comment on your blog include this: thanks for being fun, non-judgmental, and interesting. This in one of the few paleo blogs I can go to without drowning in self-righteousness. Juli, you’re AWESOME!
I would love to have the cookbook because like you, i’m trying to find a paleo, crossfitting man. Perhaps this is old fashioned, but I think learning how to cook would really, really help me with that mission! Dating in the midwest is kinda hard when boys think i’m a pansy who doesn’t eat good food because the only thing that’s reasonable to order on a date is grilled chicken and broccoli!
I am new to paleo, so I would love to have a cookbook full of great recipes to try!
I would love to win this cookbook to get some new Paleo food inspiration!
I’ve heard so many amazing things about eating Paleo, and now that I’m finally enjoying cooking and making healthy meals, I am ready to try the paleo way and I know that this book would help me tremendously!
I love her blog and am done with one week of my whole30. I’d love to have a quick go to sitting on my countertop! This book would be perfect for that.
I would love the chance to win this paleo cookbook, not only to find more inspiration from paleo foods for myself, but also to find recipes that people not eating a paleo diet still find awesome. I have found a bunch here on your website and i want even more!!! I want to take this cookbook back to college with me and hopefully inspire the people around me to eat cleaner and what better way than by making irresistibly good, clean food right in front of them?
thanks to you and melissa for your generosity! I can’t wait till August 12th!
Always looking for a new twist on Paleo. You can never have enough good food to share with everyone :)
Pinterest only takes a girl so far and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to devour this book!
I’ve been leaning more and more Paleo for almost a year now, and the results have been very positive. Always looking for more ideas/information to make it easier and more interesting.
Also, my wife (who has various daily-debilitating health conditions) can see the concepts and the benefits, but is having a *much* harder time with the idea of “giving up” pastas and breads and such, and the more food and recipe options we/she can have to work with the more likely she’ll give the whole thing a real try. So…
I’d love to try this cookbook. I’ve been feeling the need to change my diet as well as my family’s. I got interested in Paleo when I came across it researching my young son’s gluten allergy and looking for gluten free recipes. I’m definitely interested in trying it out. Thanks for the opportunity!
I like the Clothes Make the Girl on facebook!
I follow melissa on twitter and I tweeted!
I would LOVE this cookbook because I’m trying to incorporate more paleo food in my diet and I’m gluten intolerant, which is another reason I love paleo recipes!
This book would be a great addition to my Paleo resources! My fiance and I have been exploring Paleo for about a month now and am interested in trying these recipes!
I’ve been Paleo for awhile now, but I love trying out new recipes to keep things interesting.
I would LOVE to win this cook book because we are constantly trying to vary our paleo meals and are somewhat newer to it and this would be a great help. I LOVE your blog. You have a great sense of humor, and it really shows in your writing. You really make it interesting. We just made your Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf last night. YUMMO. Looking for a dessert recipe now. Thanks again for such a great blog!
i am actually having a paleo cook party this weekend and showing people all the great food you have on your blog. i have been eating paleo since January and absolutely love the food and the way i feel. i would love to have new recipes to try and share with my friends at crossfit tahlequah.
Hey Fellow Denverite! Thanks for doing this. Even if I don’t win, the book looks interesting to pick up. I’m just trying to eat/live healthier and reverse some of the evil I’ve done to my bod. This looks like a good tool to help!
what a great cookbook! I just started living more of a paleo lifestyle and this cookbook would be great for new recipes!
Dun dun dunnnn!
AH! I hope I win this! I need a paleo cookbook in my house to reference. Would be a nice addition to my collection of cookbooks!

I followed, I tweeted and now here are my reasons why I want that cookbook:
I’ve been paleoish for a couple months now (I say paleoish because I probably follow it 80% of the time). I have multiple sclerosis which I have read on numerous sites can benefit from a paleo style diet. Reading all I can when I can, I found the Whole9 website and purchased It Starts With Food hoping it would be filled with more recipes then what actually came with it. In fact, of the few recipes contained, most come from Well Fed. BTW – I was one of the 4% that hasn’t seen her book (I live under a rock if you didn’t know). We actually lost our only bookstore when Borders closed so I can’t even browse the book in person. I am always stalking blogs for new recipes but I don’t have a printer and laptops aren’t the nicest thing to have on the counter when cooking. It’s doable but just very inconvenient when your counter-space is limited. I also have a son I am raising alone and he is allergic to peanuts and dairy and eggs so I battle with him on finding healthy foods that he will actually eat. Having this book would forever change my life and benefit both myself and my son’s health. I am afraid he too might develop MS one day so the sooner I can get him converted over to the P-Side the better. Thank you for your consideration and continued generosity to all of your followers.
i did it all!
I could sure use a good paleo cookbook. I am wheat intolerant and switching over to paleo has helped me out! I feel wonderful! I hope i win.
thanks
OMG you have a lot of followers! I kept scrolling and scrolling so I could enter. I have always loved trying new recipes and need to replace all of my old (SAD) cookbooks with great new Paleo cookbooks. This would be a great addition to my collection1
I would love to have this cookbook b/c I would like to love cooking paleo meals as much as I love crossfit. Let’s be honest, I suck at cooking and could use all the help possible for this to happen. Thanks :)
Love Melissa and love her receipes!
I would love to have this book for I need new recipes to continue my journey eating a primal life.
I would love this cookbook because I just started eating paleo a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I would love some new recipes to get creative in the kitchen!
I tweeted! (@teabagginit)
I liked her on facebook!
I would love the book. I generally make up my own recipes but sometimes it is nice to be told what to do. Even by a book.
I’d love to win this cookbook because I’m tired of your recipes. False, I love your recipes. However, I need more! I’m mainlining paleo like a $10 hooker on payday. This cookbook will feed my habit. My dirty, dirty paleo habit.
I would love this book! I love learning new recipies, and cooking paleo. I love how much better i feel since i started being paleo 2 months ago. :)
I love this site and how REAL you are when blogging about stuff. Your recipes are amazing. I’ve become quite the foodie since switching to clean/paleo eating. I’d love to use this book to help spread the “movement” in my area of the south where everything is deep fried and NOT in coconut oil!
Would love, Love, LOVE this cookbook!!! My boyfriend, very active within the Crossfit and Paleo lifestyle, has recently started to convert me to that lifestyle as well. Problem is, he could eat the same thing, three times a day, seven days a week… me, not so much! I already follow your blog to get helpful hints on how to make some Paleo yumminess, but having the book would be awesome as well! Not only would it be my first Paleo cookbook, but it would be my first cookbook EVER!!! WHOOP WHOOP! Thanks for such a great giveaway!!!
Wow I just started Paleo yesterday. I have been doing crossfit for over a year and a half and have seen results but do to a family medical emergency last summer (hubby had a heart attack at 39) I have not been back to my old self and decided Paleo might help with becoming leaner, sleeping and all in all feeling better about myself. I love your blog you are to funny:)
My husband and I are trying to switch over to the Paleo diet and this cookbook would definitely help us with the transition! It looks like it has recipes that’ll take us beyond our usual grilled chicken/stir fry veggies in coconut oil. p.s. we tried your jambalaya recipe – OMG, indeed! Best ever.
I just started the Paleo lifestyle, and it has been so fantastic for me! I feel better, I have more energy and I feel like I love food more…if that was even possible. I would LOVE this book to help me along on my journey.
I would love to win this book because I’m on dayy 8 of paleo and am having a hard time getting creative and think the book would help me with that.
I went paleo about 6 weeks ago and love it! Would love to add this book to my collection!
Well, I so totes need this cookbook because I’m a ass poor college student. I love to eat, but I suck at cooking. Getting on the right track now is so important! This is the rest of my life we’re talking about! Come on JB hook me up!
I would love to win this book because my boyfriend and I recently went paleo to improve our health. He is 60+ Ibs overweight and I am a type 1 diabetic. Cooking has never been my strong spot but I have found the paleo recipes to be incredibly easy to make and they have all tasted great (much to my suprise!). I print out all the recipes I find and they are all over the place!! It would be great to finally own a cookbook I can use and be proud of!
I would love to have this cookbook…(correction)….I really ‘need’ this cookbook! I have had a ‘ball’ lately experimenting with all foods PALEO. Even hubby is enjoying this new way of eating. I feel a lot more energised, which is tough when you have SLE (Lupus). I am hoping that by winning this cookbook, my energy levels and health will improve 10-fold.
I’m not new to eating but I am new to Paleo. I enjoy your blog, especially your recipes. I’ve been a lousy cook forever but you’ve created some dishes that have changed my husbands usual response from, “it’s alright” to “I like sausage mushroom thingy.” So thanks for that! I’d like to make more delicious food and the Well Fed Cookbook might help. Thanks!
Hi Melissa, I’m in awe of you positivity and passion for food and would love to be able to expand my knowledge of paleo eating through your work of art. I’m a self confessed obsessed CrossFitter and am interested in experimenting with my nutrition to see the effects it has on my training and mindset. :)
Hello! I recently ran across the Easy Paleo blog, and she just cooked through Well Fed. The pictures look amazing! I have been trying and mostly failing to shift towards Paleo for the past two years. I do so well, then fall on my face, and have a really hard time getting back up… (It takes me months). This cookbook isn’t going to help me not fall off the wagon (that’s on me), but I would love to cook some delicious food! PS – I found your website because I was looking at the 21 day sugar detox on facebook. Love it!
Still pretty new to the Paleo diet; this cookbook would be a great help!
I’d love this cookbook because I definitely need more good paleo recipes. I have autoimmune issues and feel so much better following a paleo diet, but I’m also addicted to sugar and sweets and baking, so I need more meal recipes! :-)
I’ve been doing Paleo for several months now, but have yet to get a Paleo cookbook. I’d love for this one to be my first!!!!!
I competed in my first fitness show about a year ago & had many stomach issues since. I started seeing a holistic chiropractor who tested me for many different food allergies…dairy, gluten, coffee, sugar & sugar substitutes. He found that my stomch was inside my diaghram (not sure of spelling or if it is the other way around lol) and a rib was out! I have slowly added some of the foods back in besides gluten & dairy but still having troubles with my stomach and insane mood swings! I eat very very clean but need more help with meals!! I am a personal trainer & dance teacher and I hope to motivate my clients & dancers like you have inspired and motivated me to be aware of what goes into my body!! So thank you :) this is my absolutely favorite blog!! I have done some CF & can’t wait to do more…just need to be able to afford the damn membership but I’m going to make it work!!! :-) not sure I will compete again, but CF is my new goal!!! Thank you for everything & sorry for this novel :) i cannot wait to try more paleo recipes & especially WellFed!!!!!
I also tweeted & liked Melissa’s page on FB…so amazing!
I would love to have this cookbook! I just found your site last night and I love it. I’m in Colo Springs so we’re close :) My husband and I are doing our first Whole 30 challenge starting the 15th so this cookbook would help us out tremendously. I don’t FB or Twitter so this may be a deal breaker for winning :/
I am on day 8 of the Paleo diet to prove to my doctors that a girl in her late 20′s with a healthy weight and standard lifestyle does not need to be on statins. My cholesterol is RIDICULOUSLY high, but I ate too many carbs and loved chocolate way too much. This diet was VERY hard for the first 2-3 days, but I am starting to feel much better. My problem – the cravings are not 100% gone and I am getting BORED with my food…espcecially my snacks. I love to cook, but with a new baby, a 3 year old and a full-time job, my time is, well, limited, so this book really appeals to me.
I just came across your website today. For four years, I was so tired I couldn’t work. Drs couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. Finally decided to diet and discovered I can’t eat sugar and flour etc. I now work two jobs, with energy to spare! the reason I need the cook book is because I get a little bored with my food and end up eating something I shouldn’t and then I’m down for the count for awhile. I need some great recipes to keep me from destroying myself!
I have heard so many wonderful things about this book, it is on my list! Since going paleo I have lost 80#, and have been enjoying food so much more. Thanks Juli, for a wonderful site!
Wow! Bring out the giveaways and the comments start flying. I didn’t know there were that many people that read your page :) They should read your page though, because it’s total awesomeness!
Liked, Tweeted, and really want the book. I’ve been eyeing it for months now, but B&N says that they can only special order it, and it’s going to cost me well over $50 to do that… Sorry B&N, but that’s lame. Winning it would be so much easier on the pocketbook :)
i should win because it would save me the time from going to barnes and nobles and making a photocopy of each page. that would take a long time, and i would develop an appetite from all that theft. but without a full cookbook, i’d have to stop at mcdonalds and eat a big mac. BUT… if you give me one, then i don’t have to waste my time, waste paper, break copyright laws, or eat mcdonalds. and tell me: do you really want me eating a big mac on your conscience?
I would LOVE to have this cookbook! I like cooking, but paleo is a *completely* new venture for me. I’ve tried a lot of your recipes and they’re all amazing! The reason I decided to go paleo to begin with is a little health condition I have called PCOS. Basically, my body hates me and rebels in *very* strange ways. Paleo makes me feel good – it’s as simple as that. I’m going to get the book regardless, but free is better than not! :)
I would love to have this cookbook! I just found your site last night and I love it. I’m in Colo Springs, so we’re close:) My husband and I are starting the Whole30 challenge on the 15th so this cookbook would help us out tremendously. I don’t FB or Twitter though, so that may hinder me from winning :/ Love your site!
Thanks for offering this, Juli!! :) I usually get my paleo recipes online, BUT… I’d love to have this book because, unlike online, I can write my own little notes in it! :) Plus it’s Whole30 approved ! =)
Liked!
Oops! You can delete that last one. Did all of that goodness. I would la la loooove this because I’m moving into an apartment with my best friend, and while she’s awesome and eats all of my delicious food with weird ingredients, I could really use a cookbook to grace the place with and really break it in with some good food. She’s bomb for self-publishing, and why not rave about her book to everyone at my box // in Syracuse? All about spreading the love. They’ll know where their brownies came from.
My partner and I are Paleo, we wod together, and eat together. In my spare time I’m looking for good tasting recipes to keep it new for us. Since I have found your website, it has made it easier, but so would a cookbook! ;)
My most recent meal I have made the (Curry Meatballs) he licked the bowl! never had that before. totally wanna be able to make more like this. I’ve tried lots of your treats and they are great for pre-wod or post-wod. thanks :)
I do not do Paleo strictly, but I am obsessed with so many of the recipe’s. My boyfriend is very into Crossfit and wants to go more Paleo. I would love a cook book with more details so I can help us both achieve those goals :)
I am new to Paleo and need some ideas of different things to eat. I have gotten sick of the plain old stuff I have been eating. I like flavor and to add spice to my life!
I am dabbing into the Paleo lifestyle & this would be a great resource for me! Happy to see that so many people are interested and wanting to live healthier :) Keep it up America!
Just haven’t biten the bullet yet and bought this cookbook…but would LOVE to have it. I’m sure I’ll buy it if I don’t win, but hey, it’s worth a shot. =) Pick me pick me pick me
JB – You gotta give me this cookbook. Here’s why:
1) Your blog was the first paleo blog I ever read and I’m pretty sure your recipes and attitude toward Paleo are the reason I’ve stuck with it. (No joke: The Sweet Potato & Apple Breakfast patties and Spinach Sweet Potato Egg Nests got me hooked).
2) I am starting a Whole 30 on Monday, August 13th, the day after this giveaway ends. It is my first Whole 30 and I am excited and terrified. I would love to have Melissa and her badass recipes leading me through it.
3) August 12th is my birthday. And I’m getting old (23), so a cookbook would probably be the perfect gift for an old fart like myself.
4) Oh, and I’m a teacher, which means I fall right there with personal trainers in the “spend all my money on food & supplies” category.
I’d love to win this cookbook because my wife and I are starting a 30-day Paleo challenge very soon, and I need dinner ideas to cook for her (to try to balance out all the times she cooks for me)!
Juli-I would LOVE to win this cookbook because:
1) Your blog is one the reason why my husband and I have been able to maintain a paleo lifestyle without going crazy, -er.
2) Paleo has been the reason why my husband is no longer on blood pressure medication and why I have never felt more amazing and energetic in my life (CrossFit Excel may have plenty to do with it too…)
3) I have been spreading the word on paleo to family, friends and co-workers, SUCCESSFULLY, I might add by cooking your delicious recipes for other foodies….

I “liked” The Clothes Make The Girl on FB!
I would love to win this giveaway because I am new to paleo and am interested in new recipes!! :)
I’m starting a whole 30 on the 20th and could really use some fresh ideas. My eldest daughter told me today that the chocolate pie I made for her sister’s birthday was disgusting, so apparently I need some help!
Hey Juli, love your blog. I literally get all my recipes from your blog. I’m new to Paleo and my husband has joined me. I’ve battled multiple health issues my entire adult life; I truly feel that this way of eating is healing my body (when I consistently stick to it). Conventional medicine has certainly failed me. I’m a cookbook junkie and can’t use any of the ones I have….obviously. Would LOVE to win this cookbook and my birthday is August 12th so it would make my birthday very happy. Thanks for the great recipes and the time and effort you put into your blog…..
I am a total recipe hoarder! LOL No, and I am interested in all the different types of healthy lifestyles and really try to incorporate what I can into mine. I try to limit my carbs, and I know paleo can help!
I would love this book! I love to eat and I love Paleo! I have a hubby and 3 kids that I’ve started to bring along on my Paleo lifestyle- and it’s an amazing thing to see!
Please pick me!
I would luh luh luh love to win this cookbook because I have been sucking in the kitchen lately! Your blog plus this book is what I need.
I’ve slowly but surely going from “counting calories” to going paleo, and I’m loving the changes! I’ve lost 70lbs (!!!!) since I started to shape my life into something healthy and livable, and the paleo cookbook would be a great addition! I’m also checking out your blog for recipes. The pork enchiladas with avocado cream and the ropa vieja have been major hits!. We work out like beasts, fail before we start with guys, and do the best to eat right – Thank you for being relatable
I need all the help I can get!
I’m a med student, down 40lbs on Paleo. I have one day a week to cook and need some help to vary my diet. Help me I’m poor!!!
My husband & I are starting a Whole30 on August 15 – we’d love to use this cookbook to help us thru!
I know how to read (good quality to have). I love CrossFit (and kickball). I love food (duh). Food fuels my CrossFit.
Know + Love = need for awesome recipe book!
New to Paleo, my brother & sister-in-love convinced me to try with your excellent recipes! Banana bread French toast, epic. Chicken carbonara was dinner. Why do I want cookbook? You can never have too many recipes with 5 finicky children, ages 24, 22, 20, 8 & 7.
Id love the book because sometimes an iPad just doesn’t cut it. Let’s do it old school :)
I would love this cookbook Trying so hard to choose good recipies that my family would like is very difficult . I cant wait Thanks for putting out good recipies!!!
I would LOVE to win the cookbook! I’m fairly new to the Paleo world (about 2 weeks in) and I’ve lost 10 lbs so far and just feel so much happier/healthier. I love baking, which was my big hesitation to doing Paleo (I love bread!). I found your Banana Bread French Toast recipe and made it (sans the “french toast” part, I hate eggs) and realized that I can still bake and be Paleo! Addicted to your website now. Would love the Well Fed cookbook to get more meal ideas
This would be amazing to get! I would really put this to use with the whole fam!
I love ISWf, I’d love to have Well Fed for great ideas on cooking!
Starting my first whole30 and looking forward to feeling great!
Time to give paleo a try!
I want this cookbook! I’m a new mom and trying really hard to get my husband to eat paleo with me!! I really want my kid to grow up know the difference between real food and fake food. I love your website, Juli! I stalk it daily. :)
I want her book so BAD :) I love cooking and have been following her blog (and yours, obviously) since I started changing my eating habits about two months ago. Feel great and want to keep the inspiration flowing!!
I would love to win this cookbook because I am really interested in Paleo,
And also because the person who called them self an “old fart” at 23 made me throw up a little in the back of my mouth. (I’m 48) so I need to stay fit so I can hunt them down and smack the crap outta them.
Seriously, that cookbook looks awesome! I love to read cookbooks – and make recipes sometimes too! Thanks, Juli; what a great giveaway! Scott and I try to eat Paleo as much as possible, so this would be fantastic.
I’ve been wanting that book for ages! Its always sold out on Amazon!!!
I would love to have this cookbook not only for the great recipes but also the planning and preparing ahead. I have been doing the paleo eating for a couple months now and I love it! My husband and my daughter, who is 14, are also happy with the food and how they feel.
Liked and tweeted! Would love to win a copy of her book so I can make delicious paleo recipes for my family (in addition to your recipes of course!).
I would love to have this because I gifted a copy to a friend who loves it! I’ve been doing the whole30 and would love to have more recipes! Thank you!!
Your book would be an awesome addition to my kitchen to help me rocking my Paleo lifestyle!
I’ve gotten Well Fed from the library before and love Melissa’s approach to prep and batch cooking along with her ethnic tastes. I’d love a copy to keep me on my paleo cookbook whore path! I hope that not being part of the “Twitterverse” doesn’t rule me out as I love every FB post I see from you or her! Trying to get CFTA in Winter Park to get one of you guys up here some time!
I’m new to your site and I love your recipes! If these are similar to yours and approved by you then I’m excited for what’s to come in this book!
I’d love to win this book. Mostly because I suck at creating side dishes and snacks. I’m pretty ok with meats. In week 7 of paleo and feeling awesome!
I have recently started eating Paleo and would love this book.
I would love to have her cookbook to add more amazing recipes to my Paleo repertoire!
Hey there! So, Here’s the deal: I have been making your paleo chocolate chip cookies for a while now and my fiancé loves them ( as do I. I love chocolate. Hehe) so anywho, we just got hitched 3 days ago and were on the way back from our wedding trip and we were talking about paleo and how we need to step it up! So, as I am a wife now, this cookbook would be the foundation. I am 23 yers old and I love love love to cook and try new healthy things! We love crossfit too!!! Hooray
So, I’m 16 and started paleo 8 months ago. Basically everyone that I talk to thinks I’m crazy, but I’m used to it. I got interested because I work out a lot and play a lot of sports. ( + @emilyschromm) I would enjoy this fabulous cookbook due to the fact that I love cooking and I would love to be able to share rad paleo recipes with my non-paleo friends. I also couldn’t help but notice you’re pretty cool yourself and your sweet potato recipes make me go cray. I guess I won’t win though because I don’t have a facebook. Sorry! :(
I “liked” The CLothes Make the GIrl on facebook, follow Melissa on twitter & tweeted! I would love this cookbook because I am switching from a vegan to paleo diet :)
I would love to win this book because I am new to the paleo lifestyle and could use all the help I can get, loving it so far and want to love it even more.
I would love this cookbook because I’m new to Paleo and I could always use new recipes/advice! I have to keep it interested for my husband and 2 year old who would rather have pizza.
I am trying to get my kid to join the paleo train with me. He is 3 and has never eaten a vegetable in his life. Today, at the farmer’s market, I bribed, lied to and manipulated him into eating bell pepper, spinach AND zucchini. I think I deserve a prize for this accomplishment. I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life. And I’m not exaggerating. Please help me keep up the deception by choosing me for the Well Fed giveaway! I love your blog. I am a dedicated follower. Back to browsing your treats — my son deserves one after today!
I already have this cookbook…but for those of you that don’t have it, it’s a must! This book changed the way I eat…this website and well fed are the two places I go first for yummy (easy) recipes!
I think you need to publish a cookbook! Your recipes are incredible!
I am new to the Paleo way of eating and LOVE your FB Page, as well as your blog & find both 2 b very informative and full of fab recipes. I would like to win this cookbook in order to help my transition to Paleo and for fab food ideas:)
Thanks a ton for this – love the info and agree with your perspective. However many others will not, so thanks for speaking up. Nice blog, well done!
I’m trying this out to see if I can cure my PCOS. It’s supposedly a genetic trait passed on by women in my family. It basically reduces your chances at given birth, acne issues, period issues, weight gain. Not an attractive thing to have I tell you. But, it makes me who I am and I’m proud of myself. However…I’ve always wanted to lose the few extra pounds I carry…and of course I want a chance at having a baby at some point in my life. I’m hoping this diet change will help me. @swanswannie
I’m on the list at the library for this book but would so love to own it! I’ve been Paleo for a few months now and am just beginning to get my kids into it as well (hubby is slowly trailing behind….). Yours is my favorite blog and am always finding myself pointing out something or other to my 14 y.o. daughter. :)
I have heard great reviews about the book I am new to Paleo and could use the cookbook.
