Great cookbook (especially for those who need structure!)
I am hypothyroid and have been following the paleo diet for 9 months - some food sensitivities continue, so I need to try the more restrictive AIP diet. I am not the best cook, and I have felt overwhelmed grabbing recipes here and there from my few paleo cookbooks and pinterest. The meal plans are what I am most excited about. I think there is a meal plan in this cookbook for every kind of cook, including reluctant but committed cooks like me. I am planning on making the General Meal Plan #4 first (because it looks so yummy), but there are meal plans containing only one pot meals, 5 ingredient or less meals, 20 minutes or less meals, and on and on. There are so many recipes in this book that I will actually cook, that I am excited about getting started. Our family makes breakfast for our Christmas meal, and I am definitely making Bacon-wrapped Apple and Cinnamon Sausage!

This is still my favorite cookbook, although I use the Against All Grain books, too. Our favorite main dish recipes are Sweet & Savory Shepherd's Pie, Teriyaki Chicken & Fried (cauliflower) Rice, Garlic & Rosemary Crusted Pork Loin, Ham & Pineapple Pizza, Bacon Date Crusted Salmon, and Beef Pot Pie. I make double batches of some of these to freeze for lunch at work. I have liked every recipe I have tried, and I enjoy trying new recipes because I know I will probably like them. *I have to leave onion out of my recipes, and everything still tastes fantastic.
