Follow me on Instagram! Check out Thrive Market for reduced prices on pantry staples! Here’s some of the mentions made in today’s episode- My favorite bloggers for weeknight recipes: Primal Gourmet– Ronny’s cooking style is influenced by several different ethnicities and everything he makes is a hit! I have complete faith in all of his dishes. They add flair and new flavors to your regular dishes and he’ll also inspire to try new dishes. DO IT!! You won’t be sorry. Check out his cookbook, or visit his blog for recipes. The Defined Dish– Alex is hands down, the BEST weeknight dinner blogger I’ve ever come across. Her recipes are quick, easy, and ALWAYS delicious. I use her recipes every week, some of the recipes get repeated pretty often because her food is just THAT good. Her blog has hundreds of recipes, almost all of them perfect for busy weeknights. She also has great “game day” recipes and appetizers. Get her cookbook here!  Paleo Running Momma– Michele cooks and bakes! Her dinner recipes are great, but what I really love from her is her baking recipes! All of her recipes are strictly paleo, but you can sub almond flour for traditional flours, which I do often. I like her recipes because they use natural sweeteners like maple syrup, coconut sugar, and honey. Also, she doesn’t compromise texture for flavor, like some “health food” bakers. Visit her blog to explore her repertoire. Her cookbook is all bake recipes, and the book hasn’t collected dust once since I’ve had it. Get yours now!
