But wait, there’s more! With more always in the works! Enjoy these ebooks and guides:
- Wildly Good Grab-and-Go Lunches. Save money, get healthy, and cut stress by making delicious lunches that are ready to go when you are. Say goodbye to the brown-bag blahs with meals that take under 20 minutes to make and that cost less than $2. Turn lunch prep into creative art time by making Power Jars. Delight the ones you love by adding hidden sparkle to their lunch. With recipes and nutritional information.
- Wildly Romantic Recipes. This 26-page ebook features three menus: cozy, elegant, and classic, with gluten-free options, plus a dozen recipes and a review of current research that shows how eating right helps you feel sexy, act sexy, and stay sexy.
- Cooking on the Road ebook. Does the thought of leaving your cozy, well-stocked kitchen and familiar restaurants for uncharted meals away from home make you shudder? Don’t worry. It’s easier than ever to find healthy, satisfying meals, even at airports. Preparing some food yourself while you travel helps you get and stay slim even when surrounded by temptation. It’s one of the best ways to increase your pleasure, reduce stress, and save money while you’re away from home.
- Lose Weight Kickstart ebook. Learn how I discovered that eating for thrift leads to glorious side effects, including losing weight without dieting, special food, or special effort. We’ll take a look at addictive hyperpalatable food: the enemy of budgets, waistlines, and health everywhere. Then you’ll learn how to kickstart your kitchen with seven easy steps that will put you on the road to vibrant health. Finally, get a map to resources that make it all scrumptious, easy, and fun. 15 pages.
- Chart of protein in 38 common vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruits. You may be surprised! This is the extended list mentioned in this blog post, which has a chart of percent protein for meat, fish, and dairy products for comparison.
- Wildly Affordable Organic Speedy Reference. This is the one-page quick reference for my favorite Wildly Affordable Organic recipes that I have taped inside a cupboard. I created it so I wouldn’t have to keep looking up core recipes that work best if the proportions are exactly right. It lists the ingredients for Cuban Black Beans, Hummus, Spicy Peanut Noodle Sauce, Good Whisk Bread, Whisk Pizza Dough, Chocolate Pudding, and more.
Did I mention that you will also help me develop and share recipes and information with everyone, including people experiencing tough times? The site and newsletter cost thousands of dollars a year to produce. You will help others get healthy and save the planet.
