Ever since I found Mickey Trescott's Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook, I've been mesmerized by the picture of the Cranberry-Braised Short Ribs. I felt like the time was right to make this dish as cranberries are in season, I had some beautiful grass-fed short ribs from Tendergrass Farms, and I'd just received some Fatworks Tallow to review. With quality ingredients like this, it would give this recipe its best chance in my kitchen.

Make Ahead Paleo by Tammy Credicott
As you'll recall, before I dove into reviewing recipes from Well Fed 2, I had the pleasure of receiving a review copy of Tammy Credicott's Make Ahead Paleo. This summary book review post is long over due, but you'll be rewarded for the wait as I've made one other recipe to add to my review that I've not posted yet.
Well Fed 2 by Melissa Joulwan
After receiving a review copy of Melissa Joulwan's Well Fed 2, I've spent the past few weeks cooking through a few of the recipes. While sending me a review copy of a cookbook will guarantee that I'll dedicate some time and attention to the book, it certainly doesn't guarantee a good review. I picked some challenging recipes to put this book to The Paleo Review test.

Paleo Chicken Pad Thai from the Paleo Mom
While looking for recipes that fit within my N=1 Autoimmune Paleo experiment, I came across The Paleo Mom's recipe for Chicken Pad Thai. I've only made one other paleo Pad Thai recipe and it is a labor of love to make time-wise. Worth it, but not a weeknight dish for me. Could Paleo Mom's recipe give me the pad thai flavors I love, but in a weeknight dinner timeframe? I gathered my ingredients and got to work.

Casablanca Carrots from Well Fed 2
When I decided to make the Pan Fried Sardines from Well Fed 2, I noted that Melissa suggested a few recipes as sides. The Casablanca Carrots were suggested and so they went on to my list. Not only did the picture in the book look appetizing but I know that I usually have carrots on hand in my fridge.
I gathered my ingredients, and got started by peeling and chopping the carrots.

Pan Fried Sardines from Well Fed 2
If you follow the blog, you know how much I like quick and easy meals. I also like the idea of nutrient dense ingredients like sardines. While looking through Melissa Joulwan's Well Fed 2, the Pan Fried Sardines went on my list of recipes to review. Little did I know what a paleo cliffhanger I had signed up for.
I gathered my ingredients and got to work.

Buffalo Chicken Salad from Well Fed 2
I love buffalo wings. I've tried a few paleo wing recipes, but what if you could get that flavor with a healthy portion of vegetables as well? What a great meal that could be. Enter Melissa Joulwan's Buffalo Chicken Salad from Well Fed 2.
I gathered my ingredients and got to work.

Turkey and Cranberry Meatballs from Well Fed 2
I would be remiss if I didn't try out at least one recipe from Melissa Joulwan's Well Fed 2's "Burgers, Balls & Bangers" section. As it was getting close to Thanksgiving and I'm still too chicken to cook the turkey in my deep freeze, the Turkey and Cranberry recipe seemed like a good choice.
I gathered my ingredients, turned my oven on to pre-heat and got to work.
