That’s my excited face.
Oh sh*t. I can’t even hold it in. Word vomit is about to happen. I’M WRITING MY FIRST COOKBOOK!!
I’m literally tearing up just thinking about this. I’ve wanted this for so long and have gone back and forth about how I would accomplish this goal. But once I was approached by Scribe Publishing, I knew it was the right fit. Not only is the Publisher a CrossFitter as well, but she’s a paleo-er who gets my sense of humor and isn’t afraid of what I have to say. She’s so awesome.
I hadn’t thought about a writing a cookbook since my recipes are free over the internet, until readers began to ask for one. Which was very cool. It’s amazing people would actually want to purchase something when they can get it all free online. So really, I’m writing this cookbook for all of you who have supported me and wanted to show that support by purchasing a cookbook. So this cookbook will feature my favorite PaleOMG recipes along with many new recipes you won’t be able to find on the blog. Already have some good stuff for you!!
So what I want to know is, what are YOU looking for in a paleo cookbook? What is helpful to you and what would make your life easier in a paleo cookbook? Please leave your comments below and give your ideas because I’m making this cookbook for YOU all!
ANNNNNNND, omg, yes there is more. I’m now in the first steps of creating a PaleOMG app. Let’s be real here, obviously I am not the person doing it, I know nothing about anything…except sweets, but my good friend Peter who also put my website together for me, is doing the job. He’s amazing and spectacular so I’m trusting him to create something wonderful. BUT I want and need to know what you are looking for in a paleo app. I don’t do apps, I don’t really get them. I downloaded a food porn app once, but I’ve only looked at it once when I was too hungover to get out of bed. True story. So I need to know what people who actually use apps would like to see in a PaleOMG app?
Are you mad because there isn’t a recipe? Don’t you worry, there will be plenty all week!
crockpot recipes!! the green chili pork and chicken enchilada stew are awesome! more of those will NEVER be a bad thing =)
I would reccommend adding lots of pictures to the cookbook… I personally hate cookbooks that dont have good pictures.
I love recipe apps that allow you to search a for a recipe based on ingredients you have and want to use, instead of just the general breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert etc catagories.
Congrats and good luck! I love your recipes and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Congrats!! That is some great news!! I am so excited for you! I can’t wait for your cookbook to come out!!
The wife and I were JUST talking about how you should do this. So it’s obviously a great idea. OBVIOUSLY.
ConGRATULAtioNS!!!! That is amazing news! Cannot wait to see the finished product 🙂
Wow! Great news on the book! Things I would love to see:
1. Exact measurements. Calling for ‘one sweet potato’ in a recipe can mean soooo many different sizes!
2. pictures. I love pictures
3. Nutritional info
That’s it! Happy writing 🙂 can’t wait to see the result!
Oh, one last thing…you gotta have a contest for a free copy once this baby is done!
Woo Hoo! It’s about damn time! I can’t wait.
I would like to see some simple condiments. That is what I seem to have trouble with.
Keep us posted:)
Great News! Just let me know when to pre-order. I like easy to follow cookbooks with minimal ingredients that are 30 minutes or less. In other words, just do what you do.
I love your humor and quirkiness. I have tons of cookbooks, honestly I think I might have an issue. However the one thing I notice with many paleo or primal cookbooks its so much meat. I need more desserts (you totally got covered!) and veggies and fruit recipes. I am a meat eater but I do eat a ton of veggies def more veggies than meat so I am always looking for new way to cook veggies.
Congrats, I think it’s a great idea. love your recipes! What would be helpful for me is fast and simple recipes. I’m crossfitter and kindergarten teacher you can only imagine how much time I don’t have on my hands! Thanks for all you do and entertaining me!
