Jet-Lag Monday

Just back from a busy week in LA at the BEA representing my entire cast of Eat Clean books. While it may sound glam it does translate into a lot of work. The vibe for the upcoming Eat-Clean Diet for Family and Kids is very positive.

We did manage to squeeze in a bit of fun during the week. On Friday we went to the uber-hip STK restaurant for a team dinner. On the menu... STEAK!! Surprise surprise! This was paired with delicious mushrooms, spinach, and roasted potatoes. We even had a few celebrity sightings.

On Saturday afternoon I had a cooking demo. I was nervous, since I am certainly not a chef, but it was a lot of fun. I demonstrated how to make clean chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries, clean ketchup, banana bread, and tofu chocolate mousse. The first 4 recipes are all new from the upcoming family and kids book. I was thrilled afterwards when one of the children in the audience let me know my cleaned up recipe of chicken nuggets was "super good"! I can't wait to share the rest of these recipes with all of you when the book comes out in August.

I also want to thank booksellers across the nation for their continued support of the Eat-Clean Series. Stay tuned for the next batch of books I have in the works including The Ultimate Eat-Clean Diet, Clean Eating for Men, and another cookbook full of a ton of great new recipes!!
