Thanks for coming over here and checking out my new cave! This is the new big momma bear web site. If you have subscribed to the blog, we have moved your subscription over here. But unfortunately you are going to need to go to re-subscribe if you want to receive my latest luscious posts in your inbox. If you don’t you will still see my posts in WordPress Reader but just won’t receive them in as an email.

Please leave me a comment on what you think! I will draw a name from all the people that comment on my new web page and that lucky person will receive a copy of “Well Fed 2”. I know I know, I never ever thought I’d do the stupid give away thing but I love that cookbook and I really want you to come check out my new cave and tell me what you think.

Well Fed 2 is a wonderful continuation of Melissa “Melicious” Joulwan’s delicious journey down the cheeky path of paleo eating. Her first book, Well Fed 1, wowed me over with all the fun and playful ways that she creates food within the sometimes limiting confines of strict paleo. I mean this girl walks the talk! Her Well Fed 2 cookbook is 90% Whole 30 compliant. (As far as I’m concerned it is 98% compliant. I mean I consider frozen bananas Whole 30 but obviously I’m just a cavewoman)

It’s a good thing I have this cookbook too because I am doing my second whole 30 right now. Yup. On day 23 (but who’s counting) and it feels pretty good! Other than desperately missing my morning tea with honey and cream everything else is relatively easy. If you are thinking of becoming or are paleo, it is an important experiment to try as least one whole 30 just to experience how wonderful your body feels to be free of all the foods that cause cravings, obesity, disease and inflammation.

Now back to Well Fed 2, where it really shines is in her sauces and spices. Whenever I try any of them out my taste buds purr with satisfaction and pleasure. As you might know, strict paleo is made exciting by the sauces and spices that one can add to even a boring burger. Well Fed 2 delivers in this category. Her personal favorite recipe in the whole book is the Zesty Ginger Sauce. When I heard that, I was intrigued….. her favorite recipe?

It is s super easy recipe to make and store for a while in the fridge. I am enjoying it mixed with her mayo recipe, which is my all-time favorite. It really adds a serious zing to whatever you are making! I’ve been adding a bit to our green smoothies and wow! So come on over to my new cave and leave me a comment so you can have a crack at getting a copy of her delicious cookbook.

  8. Congrats Dana! The new site looks great! I bought Well Fed I for my first Whole 30, and I loved every recipe I cooked from it! My transition off the Whole 30 has not been so great (too much birthday celebrating!), so I am gearing up for another one. I want that awesome feeling back! I hope the last seven days of yours are wonderful :-).

  9. Dana, you don’t know it, but you changed my life! Three ( or even maybe 4 ) years ago, I had never heard of the paleo diet. I saw your blog on the BBQ and I’ve been on the path ever since. Fifty lbs lighter and so much healthier. Thank you sweetie! You just keep getting better!!

  11. Is your website goddess disqualified from participating? I’m getting closer and closer to paleo (reformed semi-vegetarian)…just need to give up wine and stop thinking that I can even occasionally eat wheat w/o feeling pretty icky. Almost there….

  12. I just started mostly paleo due to food allergies. It is actually a great diet for immune support, food allergy elimination and for loosing weight if that is an interest of yours. I will bookmark this site for sure! Thanks!
