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!
Congratulations on the new book, can’t wait to order my copy. One thing I would love to see in a cook book is complete meals. It makes things so much easier if I can see it all together.
Congratulations. Thoughts… I appreciate when you explain that a certain ingredient or instruction is essential, or not. It helps me since I’m not an experienced cook and sometimes want to make alterations. Also, it would be great to note possible ingredient substitutions (I.e., could wheat flour be used to make a non-paleo version for dad, could a different type of oil or butter be used in case that’s what I have in the house, etc.)
Congrats Juli! I’d recommend you focus on what you do best, make people drool with an all Paleo dessert cookbook. That’s your bread-and-butter err maybe your banana bread-and-butter french toast!? 😉
My wife has a total crush on you so I’ll pick one up f’sho!
Yay I’m so excited for you!!!
I can’t wait! You are very talented and funny. You will rock it.
Crock pot recipes! I would love more crockpot recipes! And meal planning to encorporate leftovers. I think my biggest challenge is that I work and I am tired when I come home to cook, so anything that can help with that. I love your blog! I am sure I will love your book.
Congratulations on the book deal, can’t wait to buy it. One thing that would be very helpful for me would be nutritional facts breakdown. With the app, I’d like that the recipes can be searched by ingredients, so I can search for ingredients that I already have.
I will definitely buy your cookbook. If your write it the way you write your blog posts, it will be great. I enjoy maybe a little blurb about where this recipe came from or what it was inspired by, the list of ingredients, and then directions as simple as possible.
For the app, it would be cool if there was something where you could keep track of the recipes from your blog/future cookbook you’ve made and could rate them and make notes about it. Or even a paleo diary where you could input your progress, goals and such.
Pictures! If I can’t see it, I’m probably not making it.
