Things I Like: PaleOMG Book Review + Giveaway

paleomg

Juli cooks the way I want to eat. I’m sure you’re familiar with her blog; PaleOMG.com if you’re not. You can get a sense of the way she cooks and her general aura of awesomeness. It’s creative. It’s flavorful. And most importantly, it’s fun. We started Health-Bent because I hate salad–I don’t hate it, but it doesn’t really inspire me. So for me, to keep the idea of Paleo as a “lifestyle way of eating”, and not a “every once in a while style of eating”, I need creative, flavorful and fun food in my mouth. What Juli’s written is a shining example of what I’m talking about. I’m so happy for her and I’m so happy that she’s put something out there that I think will inspire people to “stay the course”.

Buy on Amazon.
