YAY!! So much Paleo Kitchen in one post. Not only am I sharing another sneak peek recipe from my newest cookbook, The Paleo Kitchen, but I’m also announcing my first book tour that George and I will be going on starting next week!! I’ve never done an actual book tour before, so this should definitely be interesting. I’ve done some signings here and there for my first cookbook, OMG. That’s Paleo? but never speaking, or cooking, or discussing the book in several different cities. Now all I’ve been doing is figuring out what I’m going to wear and how I’m going to pack all of these outfits into one carry on bag.
This is what I’ve come up with: I’m going to pack each outfit, clothes and jewelry, into individual vacuum seal bags. That way they will all fit into the suitcase when I head out to all these stops. The only issue is, even though they will fit in the bag when vacuum sealed, I won’t exactly have a vacuum with me while I’m on the road, so packing the outfits back into the bag after I’ve already worn them will be tough. I’ll make it work, but it’s going to be a pain. I also really hope I can find an iron. Balls.
I’m so excited to hit some of these new cities!! I’ve never been to Seattle, Portland, or New York City. Most of these places I’ll only be in for a day or even just half a day, but I want to try to eat at cool restaurants while I’m there. So if you live in any of these towns below or have been to any great restaurants in those places, please let me know!! I’d love to try some local restaurants.
Here are the dates for upcoming book signings! Remember, this is just our first trip so we will soon be hitting other areas and cities throughout the summer all over the US! Hope to meet some new faces!

Cinnamon Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread + Book Tour Dates Announced
- Yield: 1 loaf 1x
Ingredients
For the pan

For the banana bread:
- 4 medium bananas (about 1 pound)
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted grass-fed butter, melted
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

For the swirl:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Combine the bananas, eggs, butter, and almond butter in a food processor or mixing bowl and mix until the ingredients are well blended. Add the coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and salt and continue to mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- In a double boiler over medium-low heat, mix together the swirl ingredients. Heat, stirring often, until the chocolate has melted.

So excited to see you in nyc! I’m a big fan of your blog….love how outspoken and funny you are….you bringing Jackson to the book signing? Hope so…he is too cute!
Any plans to come to Canada 🙂
I know I already commented about this the first time you posted about your book tour but PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE come to Atlanta at some point this summer! Pretty please with a cherry on top! Unless you don’t like cherries. Then pretty pretty please with a gluten free chocolate cupcake on top. Or pretty pretty please with those apple pie pancakes on top. OR pretty pretty please with Jackson on top! Except no, don’t eat Jackson. Basically what I’m trying to say is PLEASE come to Atlanta on your book tour. 🙂
Yay NYC! You’ll be just a few blocks north of midtown but close enough to walk to there. I only work in NYC and commute from outside the city so I do t know a ton of restaurants but if you love a good steak Smith & Wollensky is great. It’s across town from 8th ave where your book event is – you can google for the directions. Or Bar American, which is a Bobby Flay restaurant which is on West 52nd between 6th and 7th Aves. But what you should do is go on Yelp and search restaurants – there’s so many good ones, so many different kinds of foods it’s insane. Best of luck with the tour! I hope to get to the NYC event!
See you in Seattle!!!!!!!!
Go to local 360! Amazing food!
Hu kitchen in NY is amazing! It’s a restaurant that serves paleo food by union square and near a cross fit gym. Get one of their chocolate bars https://www.google.com/url?q=http://hukitchen.com/&sa=U&ei=AuqPU7TRKMORqgb_loDABA&ved=0CA4QFjAA&usg=AFQjCNFQ5bgzDHn2jIcTtvgzhDDImNinoQ
