Danielle’s Digest: Week of 2/7/16

[ssba]

Hello friends! This week on the digest, you'll see some behind the scenes photos from the photoshoots we had this week for my third book! We're getting closer and closer to revealing more about it every week and I just can't wait to share this with you all.

Day_2_on_set._Getting_excited_to_be_able_to_tellThe beginnings of a beautiful set for the photoshoot. I just love fresh wild flowers!! I can't wait to share more about this book with you guys.

Last_week_of_cookbook_shoots_happening__And_now__I_d_like_to_eat_you_burger.A special burger from this weeks photoshoot for book number 3. Be on the lookout for this recipe once this project is done!! I think you're all going to love it. For those wanting the rolls, they can be found in my Meals Made Simple cookbook

Asher_s_lunch_today._Leftover_rotisserie_chicken__Quinn_popcorn__coconut_oil_andHere's a quick shot of one of Asher's lunches this week. It consisted of leftover organic rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods (which is our favorite quick go-to), Quinn popcorn (coconut oil and sea salt!), raspberries, carrots, and our new veggie victory: cucumbers, and dye-free chocolate candies. And all with my new Whole30 compliant ketchup recipe which you'll get on the blog next week! As I've mentioned before, Asher is gluten-free but not entirely grain-free so popcorn is a little treat for him.

Dinner_prep_tonight._Roasted_to_these_with_garlicHere was some quick dinner prep because I really only had time for fast dinners this week. I roasted these with garlic, ghee, lemon and sea salt and served with simple roasted salmon.

Since_my_old_favorite_brand_added_corn_and_cassavaSince my old favorite brand added corn and cassava to their ingredients, this is my new go-to! They have a vanilla one too that's delicious in coffee.

PS I have a recipe for something that tastes exactly like this in my app Cookery, but I'm lazy ?

If_you_have_Meals_Made_Made_Simple_andIf you have Meals Made Made Simple and are doing a paleo or Whole30 challenge, I wrote up notes for the 8 weeks of meal plans and grocery lists that are compliant! I relied on these a lot during my January Whole30 and didn't realize just how many recipes already worked or just needed small tweaks! See the post HERE.

Asher_has_been_loving_the_Berry_Blast_Off_smoothieAsher has been loving the Berry Blast Off smoothie from the new Simple Green Smoothies cookbook! I tend to get stuck in a rut with smoothies so this has been helpful to change things up!

Day_13_of_15.__aagbook3__againstallgrain

And here's day 13 of 15 days of photoshoots. I've been loving all of the beautiful blooms, ceramics, and table runners on set.

long day

We had another long but exciting and productive day on set! We're finally getting so much closer to this book being done. I can't wait to show it to you all! And the kids were in bed, so I sunk into the couch, made a fire and caught up on Top Chef.

When I book a hotel the deciding factor is usually how good the reviews for the restaurants are. I like to try to find a place that has quality food so I can modify things to my needs. I enjoyed a some salmon with sautéed spinach and roasted veggies instead of the potatoes that were supposed to come with it. It was so delicious!
