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.

This giveaway will end Sunday August 12th at 11:59pm Mountain Time. I will be choosing the winner(s), well, because I can. It’s my blog.
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
