As we speak, Stacy and I are making the eight hour drive from Virginia to Massachusetts, my place of origin, for the Sustainable Feast in the Barn and to visit out friends who are attending the Ancestral Health Symposium. That will be awesome, but I’m also kind of tickled to be back in Concord, where I haven’t been since I moved at age 6. I used to live a five minute walk from here! In the meantime, you’ll not be hearing from us until at least Sunday. So as a consolation, how about a giveaway?
As Stacy said on Tuesday, we are super fans of Practical Paleo (the #14 bestselling book on Amazon!). Stacy talked about how the Practical Paleo nutritional guidance has shaped and improved her health.
But I’d like to talk about the outstanding and delicious food.
To look at this gorgeous book, you’d think some incredibly famous photographer flew in from Paris and started yelling at the food to be fierce while madly sketching during the prep time. But no! I know for a fact that all the illustrations are from the immensely talented Alex Boake and the photography was done by Bill Staley of Primal Palate. In fact, Diane moved into La Casa de Primal for a long while to create an incredible meeting of culinary minds the likes the paleo world has never seen.
Not only that, but it is really delicious as well. We tried several experiments to really test it out, never previously eaten any of Diane’s recipes. First, I made Diane’s famous bone broth. I had some super marrowy bones, placed them in the CrockPot and included the secret ingredient that I had never used in my broths. The broth turned out super thick and gelatinous (that means gut healing gelatin!) and I was quite pleased!
With that made, I went and made Sage-Butternut Squash Soup for Stacy’s lunch. She was very well pleased with this thick and delicious soup made with one of our favorite vegetables, butternut squash. Using good quality bone marrow broth makes all the difference here! Stacy brought it to work (with a salad) three times in a week and insisted I make more when I next have squash.
Then I discovered a genius recipe in Practical Paleo.
This is my favorite, but it needs a preface. When I was growing up, my family had a favorite restaurant that served Greek food and pizza. As a kid, I would order pizza, of course, until my dad convinced me to try a gyro. From then on, this became one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind. Seasoned lamb slices, with tomatoes, lettuce, feta on a pita. But the best part? The tzatziki sauce. It’s a yoghurt sauce with cucumbers with a spice I could never place. Alas, I thought it was lost to me for good! I’m no longer eating pita, or feta, or yoghurt.
In steps to be my personal hero, Diane Sanfilippo invented Lamb Lettuce Boat with AvoZiki Sauce. Somehow she was able to nail the taste of tzatziki sauce and give me the memory of eating gyros from when I was a kid! So delicious, the kids finished the giant 3lb bowl of meat! Wes kept pointing to the bowl, then the tummy, then declaring, “Meat! Belly!”
Of course, the boys demanded we try a dessert. Thankfully, since Diane has tailored meal plans, we were able to find something without eggs or nuts!
What were they? Mint Melt-Aways! We picked mint from our own garden, and Wesley and Finn made the whole thing by themselves. Only two tablespoons of maple syrup in the whole batch! The boys loved it and it was low sugar enough for Stacy to take to work and have an after-tuna-salad-lunch-refresher!
So how about a giveaway?
Specifically, we’d like to give away a bunch of stuff. Stuff that reminds us of Diane, Balanced Bites and Practical Paleo. What are those things?
A “Practical Paleo Guides” magnet, from Diane herself, for your fridge!
A copy of Eat Like a Dinosaur.
7lbs “surprise pack” from the ever-awesome US Wellness Meats grass-fed goodness,
including at least 1 package of stock bones to make nutrient-dense bone broth.
And, a CrockPot to make your own broth!
Last but not least, this nifty tool Diane introduced us to, which makes noodles from vegetables!
We love this book so much, we want to share it with everyone! But, this winning package only goes to one random winner:
- A copy of Practical Paleo!
- We’ll include a Practical Paleo magnet to post the tear out guides on your fridge (like we do in the above photo)!
- A copy of Eat Like a Dinosaur!
- A seven pound surprise pack from US Wellness Meats including beef bones so you can make delicious and nutrient-dense broth!
- This crockpot (the kind we use) to cook it in!
- This set of peelers, including the awesome julienne peeler!
Sound good? Well here’s how to win:
- Like, Follow, Like the works of Diane Sanfilippo
- Like, Follow, Like, Follow the works of us, Paleo Parents
- Post a single comment telling us the feature of Practical Paleo you’re most interested in and that you’ve done the above
That’s it! We’ll randomly select the winner next Wednesday at 10:00 PM and post it Thursday August 16, 2012 morning. Good luck!

The feature that i am most interested in is the meal plan that is tailored towards health conditions. My family is plagued by thyroid issues and i think that this would really help
Cassie W
August 9, 2012 at 11:20 AMHello! I liked and followed all of the links, and now I have a Pinterest account, so thanks for that!
I’m most interested in the autoimmune protocol in Practical Paleo. I’m a celiac with hashimotos, and even though I have wonderful specialist doctors, my body is not healing. I want to heal my body and then thrive. I’m also excited about the recipes, that butternut squash soup sounds delicious. 🙂
Jewels_1273
August 9, 2012 at 11:29 AMDone all of the above. I’m most interested in the autoimmune protocol and being able to try new recipes for the family.
Katie
August 9, 2012 at 11:32 AMHave liked and followed all! I am most excited about the section all about poop although I am also interested in the autoimmune conditions and plans to follow for them! This giveaway would be huge for our family as we try to transition to a paleo lifestyle.
Jeanieplaster
August 9, 2012 at 11:33 AMStarted liking you guys when I found one of your recipes on Pinterest. Liking Diane on Facebook as well. I’m really interested in the recipes and the different foods I can make so that we can live grain, dairy, legume free because that’s pretty much what my kids live on. Also interested in seeing if changing to a pale lifestyle will help me with low mood/depression, energy, etc. As a mom of 4, a meal plan would be great as well. It would take the thinking and planning out of it for me which seems to be the hardest part of getting dinner on the table.
Brittany
August 9, 2012 at 11:34 AMI follow and like you both, love your website especially the 101 section and every recipe you share. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thompsdb
August 9, 2012 at 11:40 AMWhat a great giveaway! I had already liked & followed a few of the options but added the other ones this morning. I think the meal plans are going to be very helpful & I’m looking forward to checking them out.
Liz
August 9, 2012 at 11:40 AMIve done all the required following and liking 🙂 and I would be thrilled to win this, im looking forward to all the health condition specific meal plans and the fantastic pictures 🙂
Emilyfrye7
August 9, 2012 at 11:43 AMI followed, liked everything. I own ELaD, use it most every day and left a 5 star review on Amazon. I do not look like a typical paleo woman either. But, it was when I found you, Stacy, that I thought, “I can look like that!” I know you feel a great deal of pressure and I’m sorry for that. But, when you fail and bravely admit it here, I feel like I can fail and brush myself off and get back up. Thank you.
I ordered Practical Paleo a week ago! And have been stalking Amazon waiting for it to arrive…today! Yipee! I have a butternut squash sitting on my counter right now! Looks like it’s gonna be soup.
If I won, I would gift both cookbooks to other women that don’t look paleo either. But, I would keep everything else!!
Thank you so much for all your hard and under-paid work. I’m so very grateful.
Emily

August 9, 2012 at 11:45 AMI’ve followed and liked both of you for over a year now, and it’s been nothing but great. As much as I don’t want to give up eggs and nightshades, I’m really interested in reading about the auto immune protocol. I came to paleo a year after realizing gluten was a huge issue for me, and there are still a few little issues I’m wondering about.
Heather Gurnari
August 9, 2012 at 11:49 AMI like you and Diane and My copy of Practical Paleop is on it’s way, but I would love to have one to give away. I am most interested in the meal plans. I really need help there.

Mabel Figueroa
August 9, 2012 at 1:05 PMI have already liked all of the above. This may be shallow, but I’m really interested in seeing the illustrations in the book. From the previews I’ve seen so far, they look like they are funny and beautiful at the same time.

Also, I followed all of the steps and thanks for the rec for the veggie noodle gadget!
Carolyn Curielli
August 9, 2012 at 2:29 PMAll the above are done. I’m looking forward to the suggestions and meal plans for digestive disorders as I have Crohn’s disease. There is so much conflicting information for this disease, even within the paleo world, that I’m excited to see what Diane recommends.
JSands

Dlgoulding

Liz M.
August 9, 2012 at 4:37 PMLike, followed, etc! Like so many, I’m interested in the autoimmune protocol. I’ve been “experimenting” on my own, but its tough to follow any guidelines when they seem to be scattered all over the internet. It would be helpful to havr the necessary info in one place!
Allison
August 9, 2012 at 5:09 PMLiked and followed! I, too, am intrigued by the autoimmune protocol. I really want to give it a real go, and I think having the recipes all right there for me will make it SO much easier. I’m a lover of tomatoes and bell peppers, and also spicy (cayenne) foods, so…it might be hard, but I’m willing to try!
Juliet Julez

Evie Andrews
August 10, 2012 at 3:29 AMI’m not on Twitter. 🙁 And I’m in Australia, don’t think US Wellness Meats would deliver here. Anyway, i’m interested in anything to do with gut healing and getting me off these grains. i’m really struggling.
Leslie Miling
August 10, 2012 at 7:01 AMDone! Most interested in the recipe section of her book, but a few of the 30 day meal plans are also intriguing.
jessica kenney
August 10, 2012 at 10:08 AMI am interested in Diane’s book because it would help me get my family online with a paleo diet. It is so hard to get them away from the breads and cookies. Her healthy recipes could help me get them there.
jessica kenney

Christinaincamo
August 10, 2012 at 1:17 PMAll steps complete. I received my copy yesterday and you are right, it is gorgeous! I would love an extra copy to pass on the Paleo love What interests me most about the book is that it is all inclusive, you get the “why” and a lot of the “how” to do this and personalize it according to your individual needs and constitution. Love it.
Bonnie Cramer Stone
August 10, 2012 at 1:34 PMI am most excited about the guides in Practical Paleo that address specific health issues. I can’t wait to study the ones that apply to mean and tailor a specific plan to move from SAD to HEALTH! And I have to say, this is an awesome giveaway! Thank you!

I really need help with meal planning, so that is a big draw for this book. But that butternut squash soup sounds too good!

Susannah
August 10, 2012 at 3:49 PMI have been trying to transition my family to a more Paleo way of eating. I’m hoping your recipes will get me a step further with their palates. I have also liked and followed through the above links :0)
Carolynn@mylittlebitoflife.com
August 10, 2012 at 3:57 PMHow awesome is all of this? I’m currently writing a post about your cookbook on my blog! I would love to try the “Gyros” with the AvoZiki Sauce! Sounds amazing. For some reason I’m scared to try and make my own broth (go ahead & laugh) so this just might give me the motivation I need to overcome my fear! (Btw, all the above is done!)
superdumb
August 10, 2012 at 5:53 PMI really like the idea of meal plans and tear-out charts!
Emily
August 10, 2012 at 9:12 PMI really hope I can enter, but I don’t have a Facebook! I would love to have the Practical Paleo book…those mint meltaways look wonderful, and I would strangle someone for a good gyro right now. The meat from USW would be awesome, too! We can never have enough meat!
PolkaDotMommy aka Jamie
August 10, 2012 at 9:41 PMCompleted the checklist. 🙂 I’m also reading my copy of Practical Paleo which arrived today. . . yay! I’d love love love love to win, the 7lbs of US Wellness Meats excites me. And I have lots of people I’d love to share PP and ELaD with! I’m just starting in PP but I’m most interested in the meal plans and the autoimmune protocol.
Eatrecyclerepeat
August 10, 2012 at 11:13 PMI’ve heard great things about this book, but what really sold it is your whole family review! My younger brother has been interested in eating healthier since I gave him your book, and my older siblings and parents like to talk about “eating like a dinosaur”. I think this book would be a great way to introduce them to the amazing health benefits of a primal diet. Thanks for the great giveaway! I’ve already liked your & Diane’s social media sites 🙂

Adrienne Eichsteadt Jess
August 11, 2012 at 12:44 AMI am always on the hunt for new and tasty but EASY recipes, and that’s what I feel this book is going to provide. Not to mention the 30 day meal plans. That excites me a lot! I love having a plan in place, it makes it much easier to keep on track when you’re in a hurry and working a lot. Thank you for such a great giveaway! (I already like both your pages!)
Carolyn Merling
August 11, 2012 at 12:45 AMI have been liking and following all of the above for a while now! I think I am most excited about Eat Like a Dinosaur and the peelers (I know…). I am in love with Practical Paleo and would love to pass along that love to a friend… but Eat Like a Dinosaur is something I’ve been wanting, mostly because of the “family” feel to it. I am having a hard time getting my 3-year old on board with this lifestyle change… I am hoping that the dinosaurs will do the trick (because Mom’s just not enough right now)! I think those peelers could come in handy making “pasta” out of squash and other veggies… and she might never know! Thanks for the opportunity!
Brian LaRose
August 11, 2012 at 12:46 AMReceived my copy today and can’t wait to go through it! Been on Paleo 4 months and this is my first Paleo cookbook. Really lookin’ forward to eating more than just eggs everyday

August 11, 2012 at 12:53 AMThanks for this opportunity and being such great contributors to the Paleo Community! Steps 1 & 2 Complete! I am excited about the Autoimmune section and the charts, especially the one you posted on your fridge! It will come in handy post WOD!
Katie Solvie
August 11, 2012 at 12:54 AMI am already on the bandwagon liking and following Balanced Bites. I did not know about Paleo Parents…and so glad Balanced Bites sent me here to enter the contest…I am excited about the Paleo Parents as we have two young kiddos and expecting #3 any day now. I have liked, followed, liked, and followed you as well now! Honestly when I first saw the book, the word Practical is what stood out to me. As any mom knows, its a busy world out there, and I am totally interested in being able to add new variety to our meals and lifestyle hopefully to get us back on full Paleo! We love Everyday Paleo and use it and Primal BluePrint often. The way it seems, Practical Paleo, is all in one…the explaination of Paleo, why its so beneficial, easy recipes, and guides, etc…..so many things to look forward to!
Anatomy Acupuncture

I’m love the practical and clear voice Diane brings to the table and her book definitely features this in a well-organized and clearly written format. The handy charts and meals plans are very exciting, as are the recipes & beautiful photos! Keeping fingers crossed… Thanks for your labor of love in sharing the wealth of health!

August 11, 2012 at 1:17 AMWhat an awesome giveaway – how thoughtful! Diane’s food looks so wonderful, and I would love to win this package! I joined Pinterest for this very reason. I like how you and Diane are supporting each other and your Paleo sites, and looking around here is going to keep me VERY busy! I did all the requested liking and following, but I would have done so anyway. Except probably for the Pinterest. 🙂

Menagerie
August 11, 2012 at 1:34 AMAll followed and liked. I really love how the different facets, authors, gurus and experts of the Paleo community join together to support each other and collaborate on many projects. Can you imagine what a wonderful world it would be if everyone worked in unison and raised each other up rather than tearing each other down.
I’m looking forward to the menus and recipes. As well as the sections that address individual special needs. I really appreciate the opportunity to win this prize as it has been a really tough financially for the last several years.
Katherine
August 11, 2012 at 1:35 AMAll liked & followed. I’m waiting for my copy of Practical Paleo to ship from Amazon. I’m interested in the specialized meal plans & recipes.
Kimberly S.
August 11, 2012 at 1:40 AMAs gross as this may sound… the feature I am most excited for in Practical Paleo is the poo section(s) – there’s been so much chatter about them, and hey, everybody poops.
All pages “liked” and “followed” too!

August 11, 2012 at 1:47 AMI am new to paleo and you & Diane are my ” study guides” on it so far. I follow your collective posts daily. I am saving up for Diane’s book & I am going to get 2 copies because of the info on paleo & thyroid issues. and cancer recovery. My mom is battling her 2nd round of thyroid cancer. I want her to go paleo with me. I start the 30 day paleo diet sunday!

August 11, 2012 at 1:53 AMI am most interested in the science behind the diabetic diet model. I am terribly insulin resistant and plan on using Practical Paleo to get me on track.

August 11, 2012 at 4:52 AMI already like both. My sister already has her copy of Practical Paleo and has been telling me little bits of info here and there and so much of it seems interesting, I am going to use the book to try and get our parents eating better and hope it will help our dad with his type 2 diabeties.

Btrizza
August 11, 2012 at 8:42 AMTotally like and follow you both! It would be very hard to chose one thing I like about Practical Paleo. I like that she lays it out in such a simple no nonsense way for everyone to understand.
Steph
August 11, 2012 at 8:50 AMLiked both of you already. Love the explanations and scientific nature. It bresks down all the parts of paleo. Love the recipes too
Kris Weimer
August 11, 2012 at 8:57 AMI liked both you and balanced bites and follow on Pinterest. I don’t twitter. I really want to read her science and protocols in the book. The recipes sound great too. Thanks for the giveaway.
Katie
August 11, 2012 at 9:08 AMI have liked/followed all the pages. I am most interested in learning about how Paleo can help me better control my hypothyroidism. Thanks for giving me this opportunity!
Jennifer Duckworth
August 11, 2012 at 9:23 AMI love Practical Paleo and Eat Like A Dinosaur. I own both books and love them both. I am excited about Practical Paleo because of the guides within the book that help with buying meats and veggies and fats to what kind of foods contact the most carbs. I am new to all this and dragging my 4-year-old son along (not kicking and screaming might I add) and he is loving all the meat and veggies. He is starting to understand how sugar makes him feel and the dreaded soda he wants or the fast food. I love that the Paleo lifestyle has helped me to help teach him the importance of what we place into our bodies and he really does understand this now.
Rebecca
August 11, 2012 at 9:23 AMI am really excited to use the tear out sheets on my fridge and just dig into all those recipes with the beautiful pictures. I’ve done all of the above!!!

Margary Thrasher
August 11, 2012 at 9:34 AMWhat an amazing giveway! Thank you for sharing this with your readers. I am following and liking everything. I’m excited about part 1 of Practical Paleo, especially the sections on paleo in public and on the go. It is very easy to stay paleo at home, but not so much in public or while traveling!
kelly
August 11, 2012 at 9:35 AMI have liked/followed!!! I am excited about the whole book! I want to read about poop, use the recipes. I’m also interested in the autoimmune and digestive sections of the book!
Meghan Way
August 11, 2012 at 10:02 AMAs some one with a lot of issues mainly from being a long-term vegetarian up to last year and finding out I have a gluten intolerance this year and being under weight, Diane’s book would be awesome to have. As come September I’ll be going Paleo, I’ve made the commitment, as I’ve also decided to go for the Celiac testing at the beginning of September and that means having to do the gluten challenge for 2 weeks near the end of August, which isn’t going to be pretty. So I’m highly interested in the different meal plans and all the information that looks beautifully laid out and also reading about poop and the autoimmune information, and digestive issues oh and the recipes off course too.
Michelle
August 11, 2012 at 10:14 AMI am most interested in her receipes! I would love to get some new ideas to get back on the paleo track!

Stephanie Hill
August 11, 2012 at 11:06 AMI liked and followed. 🙂
I’m most excited about reading the ‘technical’ information in the book. I’m finding that the more I understand, the easier it is to approach this way of eating.
Awesome giveaway, btw!
Bethanie
August 11, 2012 at 11:32 AMI liked and followed! Since we are doing our best to be as paleo as possible I’m always look for new ideas and recipes. I already know I want ELAD, but don’t have it yet! AND After reading about how helpful Diane’s book has been to your family, I’m totally interested! I’m a nurse (RN) and I’m very interested in the medical/scientific reasons/approach, etc.
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
MaireS
August 11, 2012 at 12:29 PMHave been following both you guys and Diane for a while now. You are both “go to’s” everytime I need some Paleo inspiration. So, you are both well “liked.” My daughter can’t get enough of ELaD and wants to cook something from it almost daily. She would love to share a copy with a friend who has similar food issues. Looking forward most to Diane’s tearout guides. Any chance you would throw in the Vegetarian magnet? I LOVE IT!

I’m most interested in the “simple explanations of complicated medical stuff.” Definitely sounds like something to share with friends and family!
kristin williams
August 11, 2012 at 1:43 PMI liked and followed all! Since I am completely new to this way of living I’m looking forward to the whole book. I haven’t read any books about being paleo yet. I’ve just found some amazing blogs like yours and Diane’s. If I don’t win I’ll definitely be buying both of the books when I manage to save up a few bucks. I’m a full time college student currently seeking employment. Needless to say I’m broke. Ha ha. Thanks to all involved for this fantastic giveaway!
Brian Goldstein
August 11, 2012 at 2:03 PMI have liked and followed all. I am most excited about the AI protocol/30 day meal plan in the book. As we talked about on twitter yesterday, I am going to join team “I Miss Eggs” for at least 30 days and Diane’s book is going to guide me in doing it!
Jessica Gobble
August 11, 2012 at 2:46 PMI did all of the above, and I am so excited to see the tailored meal plan specifically for serious athletes!! It is a little hard to navigate with a high volume of training!! Thanks!
Tina B
August 11, 2012 at 3:20 PMI already love both you guys and Diane, and have been enjoying my own copy of the book. I haven’t yet got into the meaty digestion parts, and can’t wait to read those parts!

most excited for the specialized meal plans (husband has health issues and i’ve been trying to convince him to go paleo)..and more recipes!
Remy Olson
August 11, 2012 at 7:57 PMDone! After reading it, Diane’s book is the only paleo/WAPF/low-carb book I feel I can confidently hand to any newb without reservation that they’ll become overwhelmed, discouraged, or disinterested in changing their life with paleo. It has everything anyone needs to get started and is approachable and manageable… and beautiful. Plus, having tried most of her recipes over the years, I’m confident in the food tasting good which I can’t say about a lot of other paleo cookbooks/recipes.
Luvs2eatblog
August 11, 2012 at 7:58 PMLiked and followed. I just started Paleo (I’m doing the Whole30 right now) and practical paleo will be a great reference for me as I get started. I also am in desperate need of some good paleo recipes!

August 12, 2012 at 12:06 AMI followed and liked everything above. I’m just getting started with a paleo way of eating. I have two young children that I’m slowly transitioning, but these books would help me to get them the rest of the way there!

Casta_Sophia
August 12, 2012 at 11:15 AMThank you for all the time and effort you’ve put into your website, Matt & Stacy! I’m consistently inspired by you both, and I love your recipes. I’m most excited about the section in Diane’s book on eating paleo to manage auto-immune conditions — like Stacey, I’ve got one to manage. Thanks again for helping to show us that paleo is do-able. (And yup! I’ve liked and followed — with pleasure — your and Diane’s work. 🙂

August 12, 2012 at 12:02 PMMost interested in feeding teenage athletes, nourishing my picky tween girl, balancing my super-active and challenging 2 nd grader, putting a few needed pounds on my husband and losing a few for myself. Creating a daily way of eating that works for all of my family. ElaD has been a good resource and it seems Practical Paleo, as well as all those other goodies, would help escort us further down the path of wellness. Great work to all . . . .

Michael Lindsay Kerr
August 12, 2012 at 1:58 PMLiked and followed both long ago ! I’m looking forward to finding new ways to prepare vegetables. My son has Tourette’s and has issues with textures of certain foods (common in TS patients, I’ve come to learn). He’s made great strides since going gluten free (his tics are less frequent, and his eczema has cleared up!), but I feel that he would benefit even more if he would eat his veggies.

August 12, 2012 at 8:42 PMThank you for the wonderful giveaway opportunity!! I am a very visual person, so Diane always takes amazing pictures of the meals she prepares. The pictures on her new book are one of my favorite features besides all the great information…it is not just a recipe book! I liked and followed to all the links! 🙂
stopandlook
August 12, 2012 at 11:08 PMI like and follow all of the above! The one feature I am most retested
in this book, is in the title itself: PRACTICAL. Being a full time
student, volunteer, and part time scientist, I have little time to
spare in the kitchen. Diane’s book full of illustrations and her
practical ways that will allow me to have nutritious food in my belly,
are definitely what I need for this lifestyle of mine!

Katie Baylor
August 14, 2012 at 12:51 PMI have heard great things about the meal planning portion of this book. Our Friday evenings consist of meal planning (exciting, i know) for the week ahead and this part of the book could be super helpful..and maybe even save me some time!

August 14, 2012 at 3:39 PMHi guys! I completed all of the above! Following as djb6486 and my name on FB is Dawn Burgess-Scott. Actually I’ve been a fan for a while! I have Diane’s book on Kindle and the physical copy but I would love to win a copy for my mom. She is struggling with Celiac’s so the section I am most interested in for her would be the specific dietary recommendations for Digestive Health. I would also love a copy of ELaD because my stubborn girls have been going days without eating much if anything at a time since we started paleo. I’d love a good resource to get them on board and my oldest, 3 year old named Savannah, loves to help in the kitchen so maybe it would inspire her! Thanks for the chance! :o)

August 14, 2012 at 4:16 PMI liked everything, but no twitter for me, same with pinterest (I *have* bookmarked your pinterest page, because I like it – I just don’t want to sign up). I just don’t have time for these. I’m embarrassed by how much time I spend on FB already. I’ll be interested to see the autoimmune section of Practical Paleo. What a great giveaway!!
Katie Sertich Mulinix
August 14, 2012 at 4:22 PMI am soo, soo, soo pumped for the AI stuff (and way excited to find your AI Pinterest board too!! thank you!!).

Sarah Rawson Sprouse
August 14, 2012 at 4:48 PMI’m most interested in the meal plans, particularly finding breakfasts without eggs or massive amounts of almond flour. Of course then I have to get my kids, serious creatures of habit, to eat it!

August 15, 2012 at 1:30 PMI like, follow, like both of you all the freakin’ time! I received my copy of PP last week and love everything about it but what I like most is that it is written in layman terms so that you don’t need to be a scientist to understand the premise. I want to be able to share copies with my friends and family. There is lots of autoimmunity in our family and I need to convince so many to get off of gluten and grains in general!
Christie Blankfield
August 15, 2012 at 5:17 PMI posted yesterday, but I must not have finished it properly, since I don’t see it here. So sorry if there are two posts from me!
I liked you both on FB and Amazon (actually, I’ve liked Paleo Parents for a long time), don’t do Twitter or Pinterest (but I bookmarked your page there! So many great ideas! It will take awhile to look at everything). I will be most interested to see the part about autoimmune (I’ve got that in spades!).
Such a GREAT giveaway! Thanks for sharing.

August 15, 2012 at 6:31 PMI have been voraciously liking and following all of your pages…even before the contest! I found out recently that I have an autoimmune and have decided to go paleo. Not too much of a switch since I was already on a low carb program but this makes even more sense to me! I am most interested in not just what you can and can’t eat but an explanation of the health benefits of certain foods and pictures of wonderful food!
Marni Gallerneault

Allie Waugh
August 15, 2012 at 7:10 PMEverything! As a “virgin” in the Paleo world I want to learn all that I can. I only recently stumbled on both of ELaD and Practical Paleo. As an over-weight mother of three boys myself, I began migrating my family to “clean” eating about a year ago after many tummy problems. Additionally, my hubby and boys all have allergies and two have asthma. Over the last month I decided it was time to take it another step beyond clean eating and started researching Paleo eating. I was happy to find so much information out there on the web! Cook books would be an awesome help! Oh pick me, pick me please. 😉 LOL

August 15, 2012 at 10:36 PMLiked and followed! (except I don’t twitter!!)… I was just looking through Practical Paleo yesterday and Barnes and Noble and DROOLING over it!! I am recently diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid and have been following the autoimmune paleo… and I have a 3 year old… I am struggling with being organized enough to feed us all from the same table! I would be most interested in the recipes that I can use for our whole family to eat as one again! Thanks for such a great giveaway!

I love your recipes! I have made your Samoa brownies a couple times now and they are a hit!

August 16, 2012 at 8:49 AMI keep looking for inspiration and motivation to keep on. I’m really struggling with sticking to this diet and it shouldn’t be. I so addicted to the grains. As a type, I’m in a daze due to a nasty migraine I had yesterday due to wrong food – it may have been gluten free but it was still grain. ELaD was the first book that helped me move in the right direction and want to keep moving that way.

August 16, 2012 at 3:49 PMI did all the above (I don’t have facebook but my husband likes all the pages on his account). I ordered Practical Paleo for a friend and read as much as I could from the time it arrived to the time she picked it up from my house. I would love a copy for myself so I can finish reading and start making all the delicious recipes! I really found the poop diagrams helpful! lol
