Quotes by Michelle Tam  (?)

“Hands-on time: 10 minutes 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard Total time: 10 minutes 2 teaspoons capers, minced 1½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder”
Michelle Tam, Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans

“Prioritize whole, unprocessed, nutrient-rich, nourishing foods. Eat vegetables, grass-fed and pastured meats and eggs, wild-caught seafood, and some fruit, nuts, and seeds. Avoid foods that are likely to be more harmful than healthful. Especially when regularly consumed, certain foods can trigger inflammation, cause digestive problems, or derail our natural metabolic processes, such as grains, legumes, sugar, and processed seed and vegetable oils.”
Michelle Tam, Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans
