Some of you may or may not remember that I’ve been dropping not so subtle hints about a big surprise. Well…this surprise is big, wicked big. So big I’m actually a little nervous to tell you guys. And as we know that NEVER happens.
You ready? Here it goes…
I’m writing and releasing a book — a real book with a publisher and all {not the Liz Kind of book that involves lots of “wanting” and never any “writing” LOL!}! Cedar Fort publishing approached me way back in February about writing a Budget Friendly Paleo cookbook and of course I said yes! Seriously this is one of those things I’ve always wanted to do. Even when I was a kid and learning to cook from my Dad I always knew I wanted to do something big that was food related. Sure I absolutely LOVE photography. But cooking? It’s been this amazing and oddly comforting passion I’ve had since I can remember. And now? Now I get to release a cookbook for you guys and all of our soon-to-be new friends. How cool is that? {And isn’t the cover wicked pretty?? I’m in love!}
Expected Release Date: December 10, 2013!
Paleo On A Budget is going to have some of your favorite stand-by recipes {that are slightly revamped and re-photographed} like Oversized Meatballs | Sauce + Greenbeans, Kale + Tomato{ish} Soup and Sweet Potato Chili. But also a lot of new ones that are quickly becoming a staple in my house like Roasted Cauliflower Salad, Summer Shrimp Salad, Almond Butter Truffles and Lemon Chicken.
It’s even going to have a mini-paleo 101 and my tips and tricks for staying on a budget. I’m even adding a splurge and gray area recipe section for my friends who like rice, white potato and chocolate {of course there’s chocolate, we all know my obsession with it}.
Here are just a few of the recipes going in! Top Left is {the famous} Kale+Tomato{ish} Soup, Bottom Left is Lemon Chicken and the Right side is a Summer Shrimp Salad!
The best part? My awesome new friends at Cedar Fort Publishing are working really hard with me to keep the costs of the book as low as possible so I promise you won’t walk into a book store and see a list price of $30.00 and up!
The kicker? — I’m not done yet, still writing and still photographing it. I hand it in a week from Friday and lemme tell you — It’s not easy but it is loads of fun! So much fun that I don’t know who’s enjoying the process more — me or Mr. Not So Paleo and Primal Puggle {they graciously volunteered to be my taste-testers!}.
And of course as we go on I’ll be dropping some surprises on you guys, previews and keeping you updated on the books progress!
So if you don’t hear from me in the next week or so I’ll be buried in the land of yummy food and epic writing — And promise to be back ASAP!
Happy Wednesday!
Congrats & keep us updated 🙂
I know they say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I LOVE the cover design on this book. It’s so nice! I cannot wait to get it. Congrats!
Thank you Tara!!!! I know right — it’s so pretty!!
Congratulations! This is beyond exciting.
Thank you Tash!
Liz, that is so awesome! I’m super excited for you (and me because you better believe I’ll be buying this book for my house and probably gifting it out with the release so close to Christmas)! I’ve been hoping you’d get to put a book out soon, I use your recipes all.the.time. Again, congratulations!
Aww Jenelle thank you!! Seriously you rock 🙂
That’s awesome! What a great Christmas present to give to friends and family. It will help show them (and reiterate to all of us) that you can follow a Paleo lifestyle without breaking the bank!
Thank you Amy! I know this is coming at the perfect time for the Holiday Season — which I love because the Holiday Season is the best time of year!
Congrats! I have been enjoying your recipes and look forward to the book 🙂
Thanks Jessica!!!!!
Yay that is awesome!!! I’ve been waiting on your surprise 😉 That’s great and I can’t wait to see it!!!!
Thanks Jen!! Haha I think some people almost came at me with pitch forks I’ve been making you guys wait for so long!
Just found you via Facebook, and I’m really looking forward to this coming out! I’ve tried going Paleo before, but I’m on a REALLY strict budget, so I can’t wait to trawl through your website and see what you’ve got. 🙂 And I can’t wait to see the book! The photos look divine, and that cover really stands out.
Congrats, and good luck with getting it finished!
Merry Christmas to me!
Congrats.
I knew you had it in you Liz!!! You rock, keep up the great work. I’m sure your listeners would like to hear more on an interview 😉
Excellent! I will definitely be picking up a copy! 🙂
