The ability to get affordable and tasty Paleo meals on the table fast is a key skill for most of us to be able to stick with Paleo over the long term. When my family gets home late and exhausted from swim practice, dance class or parent-teacher conference night, getting dinner on the table for an on-time bedtime is my number one priority. And, when I’m out of inspiration, cookbooks like Mel Joulwan’s new Well Fed Weeknights are true lifesavers!
Bursting with vibrant flavors and foolproof recipes, the third installment in the best-selling Well Fed cookbook series puts more than 125 complete—and crazy-delicious—Paleo meals on the table in 45 minutes or less. In real-food land, that’s darn fast!

Nutrivore Weekly Serving Matrix
An easy-to-use and flexible weekly checklist
to help you maximize nutrient-density.
The Weekly Serving Matrix is very helpful! I’ve been eating along these lines but this really helps me know where to focus vs. which foods serve a more secondary role. It’s super helpful and has taken a lot of worry out of my meal planning. Thanks!
