fitfully delicious cookbook

I looove to eat, try new recipes and feel the need to organize everything. I made a book of my favorite recipes intending it to only be for me but I started having people request copies. Now you can buy my book directly from Amazon! These are 25 of my favorite recipes as well as an intro page that shows a photo of all the recipes in the book so you can go right to the page for that recipe easily. It's not a specific type of book but does have mostly paleo recipes. Some of these recipes are on my blog but I really like physical book copies to have in my kitchen so this will fit for those who are old school like me. This was so fun to work on and made me hungry at the same time. Hope you enjoy!

biscuits

These biscuits are crispy and flaky on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Serve them with butter, jam or plain on their own. They tasted amazing warm and crispy right out of the oven.

golden beet, fennel and toasted hazelnut salad

Joining a CSA has helped me to branch out in vegetables I've never had before. Beets and fennel are new to me in the last few years and a pleasant addition to my meals. This dish really grew on me and I especially liked it the next day after all the ingredients had time to sit together in the bowl. You can eat it warm or cold and it is a great side dish.
