Weekend Cooking & Pinterest Finds {June 15, 2013}

Amy — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:00:01 +0000

Nate was helping direct the movers. From Instagram; I’m @Amys_SSGF.

We moved last week. I knew it would turn our lives upside down for a while. We’re still getting settled. I’m learning a new area, finding new activities for Nate, meeting new people, and learning the layout of our new home. And, yep, I’m still unpacking boxes!

I spent 30 minutes searching the internet and finally figured out that the tiny little town we moved to doesn’t have a public library. Once I got over the shock, I found story time at the library one town over. It’s only a 10 minute drive. And, they’ll let me get a library card because we’re in the same county. Taking Nate to story time is a great learning experience for Nate and I want to make sure I pack in as much of those activities as possible.

All of that being said, I LOVE our new home and our neighborhood. It’s 5 minutes from Joe’s office so he’s been able to come home for lunch several times a week. There are tons of kids and our neighbors are lovely. The school district is incredible and, when the time comes, we can walk Nate to school. There’s a brand new neighborhood school that’s a 10 minute walk away.

We’ve been dreaming up ways to gussy up Nate’s play room. I’ve got some neat ideas to share below.

I haven’t had much time for cooking. Yet. I’ve been making dinner but would LOVE to start baking in my new ovens. I have two. Heaven, right?

Here are some recipe ideas for you to try this weekend and a few other things I found on Pinterest:

Five Paleo & Primal Ebooks for just $7.40

Amy — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:00:00 +0000

I know that many of my readers like to dabble in the paleo lifestyle so I thought this would be a perfect ebook bundle to share with you. For just $7.40 you get 5 ebooks, more than 200 recipes, and inspirational stories from the authors about how the paleo lifestyle has changed their life.

I don’t personally follow a paelo lifestyle (can’t see myself giving up rice or quinoa!) but I do find that I enjoy paelo food. For me, good food is good food. It doesn’t matter what ‘label’ you give it. I’m sure you’ll find some tasty eats to add to your current diet in the books offered here.

Paleo ebooks can be expensive, but this week only you’ll get all 5 at a savings of more than 85% off, less than the cost of any one of the ebooks by itself! That’s a great deal!

Here are the titles included in the bundle with links to each so you can get more information about the books:

The Paleo Miracle by Joe Salama and Christina Lianos

In The Paleo Miracle, Joe shares a compilation of stories from people who have undergone a miraculous transformation in their health thanks to the paleo diet. The people featured in this ebook have eliminated or dramatically improved their symptoms of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, ADHD, Crohn’s, and many others — and in most cases have become completely medication-free — by eating real food. And in the process, they’ve learned that when your body is healthy inside, it will automatically look healthier on the outside to — losing body fat in the process!

The Paleo Snack Recipe Book by Suzanne Crawt 

For those times when you need a snack, Suz’s Paleo Snack Recipe Book has more than 75 paleo-compliant snack recipes to help you stick to a paleo diet when hunger strikes! Each recipe includes a full-color photo and step-by-step instructions, with plenty of ideas that don’t require any cooking!

Eating Out and Traveling on the Paleo Diet by Aglaée Jacobs

In Eating Out and Traveling on the Paleo Diet, Aglaée shares tips and tools to help you avoid non-paleo ingredients away from home, so you can feel at your best at all times. You’ll find dozens of meal ideas, snack lists and recipes you can prepare on the road, as well as information about cross-contamination, the use of fasting as a tool while traveling, a paleo-friendly dessert guide and tips for explaining your food preferences in social settings, as well as various printables to help you simplify your travel diet.

Toadally Primal Smoothies by Primal Toad

In Toadally Primal Smoothies, Todd Dosenberry (aka the Primal Toad) shares more than 150 paleo and primal smoothie recipes, complete with substitution ideas and nutrition information! Discover tasty flavors like coconut egg nog and vanilla almond cappuccino and more.

Paleo Ice Cream by Ben Hirshberg

With 31 delicious, healthy and nutrient dense ice cream flavors, Paleo Ice Cream is your guilt-free ice cream handbook. Armed with a love of ice cream, Ben tested and created each flavor combination by replacing the problematic ingredients and chemicals found in conventional ice cream with healthier paleo-friendly options so that you can enjoy your dessert without feeling like you’re cheating!

The Paleo & Primal bundle is only available through 8am EST on Monday, 6/17. Get yours today!
