Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, #PreOrderSpecial & #Giveaway!
Entries for this giveaway are now closed. Congrats to the awesome winner, Chris Lam! Remember to order Paleo Cooking for great healthy recipes! 🙂
The forthcoming book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry: Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy Free Recipes is filled with easy, not to mention delicious recipes from Celiac chef & Author, Elana Amsterdam (her Gluten Free Cupcakes book is da bomb…just saying!).
I have been researching the Paleo diet lately &Â happy to learn a lot of it is similar to what I eat, just way healthier. Paleo is mostly gluten, grain & dairy free with an emphasis on proteins like fish & lots of veggies & fruits….I have tried it a little on my own but know with a book like Elana’s, it will be much easier to stay on track.
The book will go on sale June 18th, but how would you like to order it NOW & not only be one of the first to receive it, but also save over 20%?! The pre-sale is available by clicking here & I also have a FREE copy for one lucky reader! 🙂 To enter, simply tell me in the comments why you would like to try the Paleo way of eating, & for additional entries, simply LIKE Facebook Elana’s page as well as Along Comes Mary’s page then let me know. Enter by June 15th. For rules, please check out my Sweepstakes page above.
Heres a sneak peek at one of my favorite recipes so far….
Flourless Nut-Free Brownies 
Makes 16 brownies
Sweetness: High
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup Spectrum all-vegetable shortening
1 cup coconut sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with shortening.
In a medium saucepan over very low heat, melt the chocolate chips until smooth.
Remove the pan from the heat, then mix in the shortening and coconut sugar.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool in the baking dish for 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Enjoy! xo

June 3, 2013 at 3:24 pmPaleo sounds like an interesting way of cooking/eating, and The Wife is allergic to everything. This cookbook seems to be a good primer. TY!

June 5, 2013 at 7:43 pmMy friend and co-worker has been talking about Paleo for weeks. I am overhauling my lifestyle choices and my diet sucks, so it’s time to quit screwing around. I’ve had the ulcer, now I found out I am gluten sensitive, so I need to keep going in a new direction. This cookbook and the recipes mentioned sound great. I am espicially curious about the Ginger Cilantro shake. Thank you for the chance to win.

June 5, 2013 at 9:07 pmI have been phasing into the paleo lifestyle and I feel much better when I follow it. I plan to continue on this journey as well as getting my family on board. I love Elena’s recipes from her blog and would love to have her cookbook. It would be nice to have a book to open up instead of searching the computer for recipes.

June 7, 2013 at 3:58 amI am researching ways to alleviate symptom’s of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I brew my own Kombucha tea and I have been reading Sebastien Noel. His writing has so much wonderful information! I see that I must be on a ultra-lo-carb Paleo diet to make myself well. I also subscribe to Elana’s feed.
