New book coming soon, others in the pipeline...and another freebie soon
I hope your summer is starting off well.
Mine has been all right, with the advent of a new 100 Recipe book, Pizza 100 Recipes about to be published. Breakfast pizzas are covered, as are Starters. I break from the ususal format and when I got to Mains, I broke those down in to the following categories: Beef, Chicken, Seafood, and Pork. After that the cook book moves on to Vegetarian and my favorite, Off the Beaten Path (there's a pizza soup I want to try) and then to Desserts. No beverages this time around.
Up coming cook books include Vegetarian, Chili, Casseroles, and Copy Cat. I'm even thinking of sneaking in a Cupcake book...cupcakes are still hot.
Looking at putting Sriracha up for free later this summer. Maybe the end of July or August.
If you have a food, ingredient or dish you'd like a cook book on, write me and let me know.

New Cook Book, New Promotion
I've done the freebie thing on Amazon with Nutella and Ramen with great results.
Now I'm doing it with a brand new book in the series: Summer 100 Recipes will be free for the Kindle beginning Monday June 23rd through Friday June 27th.
Head over to Amazon and get a copy - I had a lot of fun putting this cook book together, and I think you'll enjoy it.

I'm a Bad Girl
It wasn't til I looked that I realized I had not blogged in April.
I think an author should at least try to stay in touch once a month.
At any rate, here I am, and I'm going to post another recipe out of the Sriracha cook book and again discuss what's coming next.
Strawberries, Red Wine, & Sriracha
Ingredients
1 cup red wine
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoons Sriracha
Fresh ginger (about 20 tiny scrapes on a grater)
1 large sprig of Thai basil, plus more for garnish
16 to 20 strawberries, cored
1 pint Coconut Frozen Yogurt
Directions
In a small pan, combine the wine, sugar, Sriracha and Thai basil and warm for five minutes over medium low heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Add in the strawberries, warm for five minutes more. Remove the sprig of basil, divide the berries and wine between four small bowls, top with a scoop of coconut frozen yogurt and a sprig of fresh Thai basil.
This and other delectable recipes are available in Sriracha 100 Recipes.
Bacon 100 Recipes is about to be published pending one photograph.
Next up, I'm trying to decide on my next adventure - the tastes of summer, chili, vegetarian, or casseroles. Or I may surprise myself and everyone else and do something else.
Rest assured whatever it is, it will be put together as a labor of love.

How The Paleo Diet Book Came To Be
I won't lie, I did some research to find out what subjects were trending in the food and diet world. Paleo dieting came up number one on the list.
I set my sights on developing a cook book and let me tell you, it was truly a labor of love.
First of all I had to determine precisely what the Paleo diet is and isn't.
Easy answer is, if your paleolithic ancestors couldn't/didn't eat it, it's not on the diet.
Then you have to ask yourself what our P.A.'s actually had available to them. I'm assuming depending on the area of the world they were located in, the choices of vegetation and animals for meat would vary. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and vegetables are all legal. Fruit in moderation, some nuts are allowed. NO processed foods, no white sugar, no flour, no starch, no dairy.
Some sources were saying sweet potatoes were all right, but others cited those were tubers and a starch and as such didn't qualify.
I came across other sources allowing the use of almond flour as a substitute for all-purpose wheat flour. It's assumed the almond was available, and since it is a nut, a flour made from crushing them would be allowed.
However, in making almond flower, apparently there is some processing involved and in a Paleo diet, that's a no-no.
So, after having trying and researching several different recipes, in the interest of authenticity, I had to end up pitching out 33 recipes as they contained either sweet potatoes or almonds/almond flour.
If you decide to try the Paleo diet, rest assured my book, Paleo Diet 100 Recipes, has 100 recipes that are OK for the diet. No flours, no starches. There are a few that call for a little honey or fruit, but those things are allowed in moderation.
It's my hope that my conscientiousness in research makes Paleo Diet 100 Recipes one of the most accurate cook books for this diet out there.
