Dare You To...

Remember last spring when I reviewed The Paleo Approach by Sarah Ballantyne, PhD?  I promised that a companion cookbook was forthcoming, and guess what?  It's here!


The Paleo Approach Cookbook A Detailed Guide to Heal Your Body and Nourish Your Soul ... is finally releasing tomorrow! (On shelves 8/26/14)  Here it is:

You heard me right.


If you'd told me three years ago--or even three months ago--that I'd be writing these words, I'd have laughed, too.  In fact, recently my mother was visiting and came across them in my pantry.

Yum!  What is it?  Where's the recipe?  When am I sharing? I had to laugh a little, because the caption really explained it all: "Salmon avocado slaw."  It's that simple, folks.  Not much else to it but a little dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar.  Combine, mash, and done.  Yet, the inquiries rolled in.  Well, folks, here ya go!  I'm about to give you the inside scoop on my latest favorite mish-mash meal: Tangy Tuna.

It began when I started eating paleo.  I made my own tuna salad-style tuna. It was about two or three hefty servings, and looked something like this:
