Against All Grain: Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well & Feel Great by Danielle Walker

Against All Grain Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well & Feel Great by Danielle Walker

I love to cook and bake, but confess my favorite meals and desserts are not always the healthiest. I am trying to incorporate healthier meals and options into my diet. I learned quite a bit from Walker's book and now won't feel so intimidated trying to use coconut and almond flour in my baking or subbing out refined sugar for natural sweetners. I'm anxious to get in the kitchen and try her paleo recipes too.
