Oh Goodness, Tammy has truly outdone herself with this one! And this busy working Mom, who feeds three hungry men daily, is extremely grateful! Our family has been Paleo for well over two years now, and this book has already given us several new favorites that my kids request on weekly meal planning day. Really! My kids are NOT the eager ones in the kitchen, wanting to help. But finally... FINALLY... because they love the taste of this food so much, they voluntarily ask me to stir and add ingredients now. It brings me to tears... For real. It's priceless.
I own several Paleo cookbooks: Some recipes knock it out of the park, some are way too simple and "easy." And quite honestly, many of the ones that look luxuriously amazing in photos often end up tasting just... well... "meh." They are either too time-consuming, have too many crazy ingredients, turn out the wrong consistency, or just fall flat by being bland and have to be re-vamped beyond just simple little tweaks.
I love every chapter of this book: Make & Freeze, Low & Slow, On the Go, Room Service, Travel Treats, and Week In a Day. The indexes in the back: How to Store Anything, Stocking your Paleo Kitchen, Grocery Lists, and blank Freezer Inventory sheets are awesome resources also. I find that when my pantry and freezer are stocked how you suggest, I can wake up on any given weekend morning or zoom home on any busy weekday evening and still whip up something healthy and delicious for my family.
So far, my boys wanted me to give you a "shout out" for the following recipes:
1) Sloppy Joe's! (pg. 84 - a huge pot is simmering now, while we are cozy in front of rainy day football) Your combination of flavors in this recipe is absolutely spot on! My only regret is that I can never seem to make enough to have for dinner AND to freeze ahead. No matter how much of it I make, they devour it ALL. We like to saute the onions and peppers in duck fat from Fatworks.
2) Breakfast Muffins (pg. 58) My kids love playing with different add-ins. They are thrilled to finally find a recipe that is perfectly moist with just the right amount of sweetness. Sometimes we add Enjoy Life soy-free chocolate chips.
3) Bacon & Onion Roast (pg. 128) Yep, the mouth-watering title says it all. Plus, the 8 simple ingredients are in my kitchen 95% of the time, so the 10-15 minute prep in the morning is SO easy for a busy weeknight meal. The leftovers with fresh bacon crumbles on top have proven to be a fantastic lunchbox option, too.
4) Chicken Piccata Bites (pg. 200) A refreshing and easy weeknight meal with simple, hearty yumminess.
These four recipes are just the tip of the iceberg and I can't wait for this coming week!
Honestly, I've been in a daily grind and meal planning rut lately and you've snapped me out of it with MORE than just the recipes. Your heartfelt narrative in the beginning reminds me anew to live simply, reconnect with loved ones, choose work that I'm passionate about, play, have adventures and have FUN! Thank you for injecting a shot of new inspiration into our lives and our food!

In today’s fast-paced world, the family dinner can easily get swallowed up by work, errands, and kids’ activities. But sitting down to a healthy home-cooked meal doesn’t have to be a thing of the past. In Make Ahead Paleo, Tammy Credicott shows you how to eat well at home and on the run, without sacrificing flavor or good nutrition.

Cashew Lime Hummus
Makes 1 1/2 cups
I used to be a recipe addict. I would tear countless recipes from magazines and hold on to them for years in the hope that one day I’d make a delicious item that would become a family favorite forever. Alas, I’ve grown up a bit since then, and I hate clutter. So I don’t tear out recipes anymore. However, I always encourage folks to adapt recipes (even mine) to fit their own needs and tastes. Just because the flavors work for my family doesn’t mean that they’re perfect for yours, so play! That said, I was cleaning out an old desk drawer and ran across a dip recipe that contained lime and coconut milk. Those two were all I could salvage from the unhealthy ingredients list, but I was inspired to come up with this little creation that my kids love for dipping veggies.
Directions:
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor, and purée until smooth. For a thinner dip, add a few additional tablespoons of coconut milk, one at a time, while blending to get the consistency you like.
- Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Dip your favorite veggies, such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, or jicama spears.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup roasted, salted cashews
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2 TBSP lime juice
- 1 TBSP coconut aminos
- 2 tsp minced shallot
- Pinch of sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste

So Delicious!
Tammy Credicott has created some of my family's absolute favorite recipes. You must try Asian BBQ Chicken (p 102), Bacon & Onion Roast (128), and the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Cinnamon Sugar Topping (246). Amazing. Plus all the tips and tricks make it simple to plan meals with a large family. I love this cookbook!
