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!
Yes of course! Lots of desserts and sauces and condiments please. And with your cookbook I am gonna need to buy PaleOMG dish towels and PaleOMG oven mitts and fun PaleOMG serving dishes, and….
Oh my gosh, what?! Congratulations, Juli! What awesome news! I will definitely be waiting in line for that cookbook as soon as it reaches the shelves 🙂 Especially if it screams your style and sense of humor. I hope you won’t be editing that out!
p.s. Pretty pictures are also always a plus!
I’d like to know how long something takes to prepare. Also, lots of yummy pictures!
I would totally buy your cook book, one thing that would be nice would be to list calories per serving, and nutritional breakdown of fat, fiber, etc. if possible.
Also, quick snacks are so hard to find,
good luck!!
Exciting! I like cookbooks that have pictures with each recipe. So when I’m thumbing through, I can scan the pictures and decide with my eyes. And it’s a lot like a kids book, pictures pictures pictures. I know this cost more, but I think it’s worth it.
Congrats girl!! Awesome news, cannot wait,
My suggestion which has probably been said a million times is a zone block calculator 🙂
Also with the app perhaps a converter for those of us who are metric not imperial”
Keep being awesome 🙂
YAY!!!!!! I’ve been hoping you would put out a cookbook!!!! Make sure that banana bread recipe is in there because that stuff is AWESOME!!!
So happy for you!! (and all of us!) 🙂
Pictures:) That is what gets me to try the recipes.
congrats!!!! I am thrilled for you… what a blessing this is for you, and what a blessing you and your website has been for me. i was diagnoised with celiac disease in 2007, this year my doctor put me on a completey grain free paleo diet because my body is turning non gluten foods lik rice, corn, other grains, potatoes, coffee, cows milk… into gluten. Therefore my gut is not healing. I love your recipes and especially love how simple they are… because i am also battling a neuro disorder which has paralyzed my left side and cooking and baking- which was once something i loved to do, is now quite a task for me.
keep up the amazing and woderful work you do!

Congrats!! Can’t wait to buy the book. I know you will have awesome pictures to go along.
For the app – what about putting something like an abbreviated version of the block serving sizes that is in the CrossFit Training Guide? I know I am constantly opening that thing up every night to check out portions for my boyfriend and I. It’s got more food crumbs than any other cook book I have on it!
