Lexi has created such a beautiful cookbook. There are so many mouth-watering choices, I don't even know where to begin! Aji Tuna Bites, Proscuitto Flatbread with Grilled Peaches, Creamy Chicken Bacon Spaghetti Squash Bowls – sign me up! Even if you don’t follow a Paleo lifestyle, anyone can enjoy this cookbook.

-Gina Homolka, New York Times best-selling author of The Skinnytaste Cookbook

Creative. Exciting. Delicious. Clean! These are the words that come to mind when I think of Lexi's recipes - and this book is a beautiful collection of the best of the best. Lexi takes the guesswork out of cooking healthy meals that'll keep your whole family happy and eager to sit down to eat. Her recipes are completely approachable, but with just the right amount of flair to keep you on your toes, keep the flavors bold, and delight your palate.

-Diane Sanfilippo, New York Times best-selling author of Practical Paleo and The 21 Day Sugar Detox

When you thought every paleo recipe had already been made, Lexi proves that her creativity is endless. With recipes like French Toast Sticks, Focaccia Bread, and New England Lobster Rolls, you will constantly be amazed what you are still able to eat while eating clean! If you were to stock your bookshelf with just one cookbook, it should be this one because you will absolutely never get bored when it comes to your healthy meals!

-Juli Bauer, New York Times best-selling author of The Paleo Kitchen, Juli Bauer's Paleo Cookbook and OMG. That's Paleo?

First of all, the moment I started reading Lexi’s book I could relate to the gut issues she wrote about and the journey that she took to overcome them and find the healthiest, happiest version of herself. As a fellow believer in the power of food, you could NOT be in better hands than you are with this book. From health do’s and don’ts to tons of amazing recipes — those chia puddings, by the way, WOW — you will find yourself inspired to get in the kitchen and choose your healthiest you! Plus, those food photography skills are untouchable.

— Jordan Younger, founder & editor of The Balanced Blonde blog & author of Breaking Vegan

This cookbook proves that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring or restrictive. I love how Lexi makes clean eating so flexible and approachable, with a delicious collection of recipes that will have you drooling!
