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!
My advice is what I love in a cookbook, a picture for every recipe and spiral bound so it stays open on the counter when using it.
Keep up the good work, just keep doing what you are, it seems to come naturally and you’ll do great. I’ll buy one and add it to my collections.
Congratulations!! That’s so awesome!
I love your recipes.
What i would like to see in a (your) cookbook are different units, cups converted to grams and/or milliliters etc.
And also alternatives to used products, i’ve never come across some of the stuff you use in your recipes in stores over here.
That would be really helpfull for people from other countries wanting to try your recipes.
Good luck with the cookbook!!
Couldn’t happen to a better blogger! I just found your site this summer and it’s now my absolute favorite food blog. Your recipes are straightforward and taste amazing everytime (for real!)
Love your stories that go with the recipes too- somehow that makes them taste better 🙂
I love reading cookbooks at the beach so next summer it’ll be a staple in my beach bag and it’ll be a great gift to give too.
So excited for the app too! It would be great to have “favorites” function to be able to access marked recipes easily.
Anyway to recap: You’re awesome, your recipes are awesome, the book and the app are going to be just as awesome.
Great job on everything and have so much fun with the book!
Congratulations! I’ve been doing Paleo and Crossfitting for 4 months and I am in LOVE with it all!! You know what I want in a Paleo cookbook? I want two things besides…obviously…recipes…I want tips and ideas about packing food for lunches (not little kids…husband and me)…travel food…just make it simple and easy. Second: I want some cocktails!!!!! I want to make strawberry infused vodka! Ok, it’s not strict paleo, but a girls gotta live! And two last things…sorry, I know I said I only wanted two things but now I want four…so number three, I want fish recipes without freaking lemon!! Everyone puts lemon on fish. I want something different!! And four, I want some sauces and dressings!! I know how to grill a steak! But I want a sauce on it!! Same for salad! Ok that’s all I got. I am super excited for this book!!
Juli – CONGRATULATIONS! You are amazing!!! Your website is my trusted source for Paleo.
I’d like to see entire meal ideas – side, protein and dessert. Keep it simple and easy. What’s the ETA for the cookbook to drop?
TOTALLY well-deserved; congrats!! An App is also a great idea! As for your request: I’d love more ideas on cooking flavorful veggies in new and interesting ways (rather than always having them relegated to “side dishes,” make them something I *want* to gobble up).
Congratulations!!!
I’d like to see you keep all of your recipes simple, as in not a whole bunch of ingredients. I hate recipes that call for a whole bunch of stuff that I have to go out and buy to make one dish.
I like how you post your recipes with some amount of flexibility, so if someone doesn’t want to add…let’s say honey…you give them options and the recipe still comes out delish. Maybe if you could do that when you write your book?
I would definitely purchase your cookbook if there is a Kindle edition!! It is very convenient to have a Kindle full of cookbooks with me at the market so I am much more likely to purchase a digital format.
How about a little section of recipes that are super kid-friendly??? 😀
Congrats! I can’t wait to buy your cookbook! Please include links for your favorite products and substitution suggestions!! Your book is going to be a fun read!!
