Primal Life Kit ON SALE this week only!!
Sometimes you need to grab an opportunity when you see it. This bundle is that moment! Check it out – it’s pretty darn remarkable!
I created Balancing Paleo so that I could share my journey and my recipes with all of you and sometimes I discover things that I think can really make a difference. This bundle is remarkable for the quality of its content AND for its price. And it’s only available like this for a very short time, which is why I want to bring it to your attention. There are things in this bundle that I am excited about, that are making a difference in my life, and maybe they’ll make a difference in yours. Things like…
- Recipes? – Check!
- Guidance? – Check!
- Meal plans? – Check!
- Fitness programs? – Check!
- Motivation? – Check!
I have actually spent the last several nights reading the success stories in here and I have been inspired. I’m so inspired, in fact, that I hope to share a few more details of my own journey with you in the future – just in case it resonates with one of you and helps you get over the hump. The people in these stories share their growth and as I read them, I realize that they are ordinary people just like me making choices every single day. It’s exciting to see where they’ve been and where they’re going and I’m grateful to have them included here.
And then there are all of the other books and offers – it honestly seems too good to be true. But I’m telling you, it isn’t. So go grab it – You won’t regret it!
Recipe Review: Deep Dish Tamale (Hint Hint: It’s in the Chowstalker Community Cookbook)
You know how I’ve been telling you about this amazing bundle of Primal and Paleo cookbooks, success stories, research papers, how-tos, discounts and more? If you don’t know about this incredible sale, the details are here.
Well…one of the cookbooks in the Primal Life Kit is the Chowstalker Community Cookbook. You’ll find my recipe (!) for Spring Risotto with Ham and Asparagus, of course, as well as over 130 Paleo/Primal recipes by other bloggers. It’s pretty awesome and there are so many that I want to try! One in particular kept drawing me back. It was a recipe for a Deep Dish Tamale by Emily Coatney, at Coconut Contentment.
I have actually been craving tamales lately. I grew up in California and live in Colorado so tamales are a part of my culture. But they’re time consuming to make and they’re made with corn so they’ve fallen to the side. Then I saw this open-faced tamale that you whip together and toss in the oven and suddenly I knew what I would be making and sharing with all of you.
The crust of this is nothing short of amazing. The combination of white sweet potato and coconut flour does an impressive job of standing in for masa. It’s tender and fluffy and slightly sweet and the chicken topping is nicely spiced. We ate it with guacamole and salsa and it was terrific! I have to admit, though, my mind starting going wild with all of the possible toppings for this crust. Just like a traditional tamale, you could do beef, pork, even a sweet variation. There’s a lot of fun to be had!
So go ahead and make this recipe and then go get your bundle while it’s still on sale. Who knows which recipes or articles or books will be the ones to change your life?

Deep Dish Tamale by Coconut Contentment
Filling
1 Tbsp. palm shortening (sub any healthy cooking fat)
2 c. shredded or chopped cooked chicken (about 3/4 lb., thighs are normally the most affordable and delicious)
2 1/2 tsp. cumin
3/4 tsp. chili powder
zest of one lime
juice of one lime
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 purple onion, chopped and sautéed
2 garlic cloves, finely diced
Tamale Dough
2 white sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and mashed (sub any variety of sweet potato)
3 eggs
2 Tbsp. chicken broth (sub water but broth provides the most authentic flavor)
2 Tbsp. palm shortening (sub any healthy cooking fat)
1 tsp. vinegar (white or apple cider)
5 Tbsp. coconut flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Toppings
Guacamole
Salsa
Avocado Slices
Cilantro
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In an 8-10 in. oven-safe skillet or pie dish, place the Tbsp. of palm shortening (or other chosen fat). Put in the oven to heat the skillet to temperature.
2) Combine all of the filling ingredients in a medium sized bowl – toss well to ensure even coverage.
3) Combine all of the dough ingredients together in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, Kitchen Aid mixer, or by rolling up your sleeves and giving it a good stir until well-combined.
4) Once your oven has preheated carefully remove your skillet or dish. Evenly distribute the melted cooking fat in the bottom of the pan. Pour your dough into the skillet, spread out evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Layer your filling on top, lightly pressing it into your dough.
5) Carefully place in oven to cook for 35-40 minutes, until the edges are nicely browned and the chicken has begun to brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve alongside your favorite toppings.

Primal Life Kit Bundle – OH MY!!!
Dear Readers,
I can’t even begin to express how excited I am about what’s happening in the late hours of Sunday night. There is an amazing bundle of Paleo and Primal products that has been put together which will be on sale (like crazy sale) for 1 WEEK ONLY! In this bundle you’ll find the Chowstalker Community Cookbook which has a recipe by ME (among other talented food bloggers, including several really well-known ones)!! I really, really want you to check out the whole bundle, but you’ll have to wait until Sunday night/Monday morning. I promise it’ll be worth it!
For the past several years, a few of my friends have repeatedly said that I should do something with my passion for cooking, that I should start a blog, that I should write a cookbook. Last fall, I decided to give it a go and you have all been so amazingly supportive that I am certain this is a path for me to follow. Recently I was asked by the wonderful people behind the Chowstalker website if I would contribute a recipe to the e-cookbook they were putting together. Needless to say, I was thrilled! It turns out that this cookbook is now being offered as part of the Primal Life Kit Bundle that brings together some of the keenest minds and leaders in the Paleo/Primal community, not to mention some of the most celebrated cookbook authors and bloggers. And the whole bundle can be had for a steal!
In this bundle, you will find many, many fantastic cookbooks as well as Paleo Magazine for 6 months, a 21-day Paleo Cleanse from Paleo Plan (which I’m dying to try), a ton of discount coupons, and more! This is seriously something that you don’t want to miss. Okay – just one more thing…Well Fed 2 by my idol, Melissa Joulwan, is in the bundle. Do I really need to say more?
So the Bundle Sale will be launching this Sunday night but, don’t worry, I’ll remind you again. I might even share a little something from inside the bundle.
Want to see a picture of my recipe?
Spring Risotto with Ham and Asparagus. It’s on page 57.
Thank you all so much for supporting the efforts of one mom to live healthier, cook with passion, and share with you.
