People always ask me how I got into blogging and here’s the short of it. In late 2013 my husband and I decided we wanted to start following a paleo diet. After just a few months of following paleo dietary guidelines, we were feeling great and were hooked. I’ve always loved food and considered myself a bit of a foodie but now I felt that I had also found a purpose to go along with my love for food.

In December of 2013 my husband and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and I turned to him out of nowhere and said, “I’m going to start a food blog. And then I’m going to publish a cookbook.”. Being the kind, supporting husband that he is, he turned to me quizzically and said, “Ok…?”.  I quickly followed my outlandish proclamation up with, “And when I get my cookbook deal we’re going to the French Laundry to celebrate. And I really want it to be a New York Times bestseller. I’m gonna do this.” Him and God only know what was actually going through his head at the moment but he was and has been supportive from that moment.

Chicken Pesto + Sun-Dried Tomato Egg “Pizzas”

It came out of left field as I knew nothing about starting a blog. I’ve never considered myself the most tech-savvy person in the room by any stretch of the imagination. But I was doing food photography locally at the time so I had that part down. I pledged to myself this was what I was going to accomplish. I spent the next few months up all hours of the night figuring out what I needed to do to get this going. With a 2 and 4 year old at home, my daytime hours were limited and late nights were all I had.

Brussels Sprouts + Date Salad

I spent the next 4 months working on my blog and creating recipes for it. I didn’t tell friends and family about it until May. I began Instagram-ing my daily meals and new recipes and found an amazing tribe of like-minded eaters that I connected with. My passion grew and my blog became all I thought about. During that time I discovered Whole30 and appreciated what a beneficial program it was for people who were looking for a better way of eating.

In December of last year an opportunity arose to create a cookbook based on the way that we eat here at the Whole Smiths. Much of what we eat day-to-day happens to be Whole30 compliant but we also make room for “treats” when it’s appropriate and The Whole Smiths Good Food Cookbook represents just that; a healthy and manageable way for people to eat post-Whole30 while incorporating Whole30 principles into the majority of the recipes.

Mini Hasselback Tots + Horseradish Dip

And here we are now. I can finally tell you all about it. Like how I make these Mini-Hassleback Tots + Horseradish Dip every week and how much my kids love them. Or how my friend Teresa tried out my Chimichurri Chicken Wings and raved about them for days. Or how about the fact that my kids don’t think this cookbook is a big deal at all? I asked my oldest daughter, who’s 7, what she thought about the fact that her mom wrote a book. You know what she said? “Eh, there’s a lot of books out there. People write books all the time.” Thanks kid. I on the other hand am ecstatic.

Chimichurri Party Wings

I’m so happy to be able to bring this book to you all. It’s literally made of my blood (lots of cut fingers), sweat (like when I saved all the soup recipes for the week it was 106* F here) and tears (it’s stressful man!). See? I was serious abut the blood, sweat and tears. Again, here are the links to pre-order your copy.

Thank you so much to my team at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for all of your support in making this cookbook a reality. To the Whole30 team for being so supportive and excited about this project, you guys rock. And to Melissa Hartwig, you will always have my heart and deepest gratitude.

And ummm, not to be pushy… why are you still reading this?!? Why aren’t you pre-ordering your copy?? Now hop to it!

See you all on the book tour!

I know... Sweet potatoes and chocolate in a CHILI? I know... Sweet potatoes and chocolate in a CHILI?! It sounds wild.  But it works! And it’s amazing.  And you know what else? One of y’all entered it into a chili cook off and IT WON!  Sooo, maybe you should make it? It *is*chili weather after all...

Seriously though! Let’s have a stinky convo, h Seriously though!  Let’s have a stinky convo, huh?  As soon as I started cleaning up my food perspective, cleaner personal care products came into my world as well.  I didn’t even really think twice about it before but those worlds tend to collide. So here I am today not only mindful of what I put INTO my body (food) but the stuff I’m putting ONTO my body (products).  Deodorant was the first thing I swapped as the ingredients and effects of traditional anti-perspirants were most alarming to me.  But I was suuuuuuuper hesitant. I was not a person who rarely sweated. I was! In workouts or just through the day. I even carries a travel anti-perspirant in my purse during the day.  And yeah, that end of day weird smell of anti-perspirant “powder fresh” scent mixed with whatever was goin on in my body was... not good. You KNOW what I’m talking about!  So I was reeeeeeally hesitant about switching to cleaner products.  But it really was the best thing ever. It took a some time, I’m not going to lie. It took time to fond the right ones that didn’t irritant my skin and ones that... actually worked!  Today I use Beautycounter’s newly released refillable deodorants as well as Stank Stop from @fatco. I use both and honestly it pretty much comes down to which scent I’m favoring that day, that dictates my choice.  They both work fab for me and don’t leave stains on my clothing, smell nice and don’t irritate my skin.  And here’s what else, I do not sweat NEARLY as much as I used to. I was worried I would be a sweaty pig to put it lightly. But after time, my body adjusted and it’s really not even a problem. And no smell. It works!  And here’s the thing... WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SWEAT PEOPLE! So when we wear anti-perspirant I can imagine that throws off our natural balance.  So if you’ve been hesitant, give it a try!  I linked to the Beautycounter deo in my bio and you can visit @fatco to try theirs out.  Ask any questions in the comments and I’ll get to them for you.  God bless the day I am talk about my body odor (or now lack thereof!) in a public forum. 🙄🥴  https://www.beautycounter.com/michellesmith3?goto=/clean-deo
Unh, ahh Sweet Potato ...Hash. An oldie but good Unh, ahh Sweet Potato ...Hash.  An oldie but goodie.  One of my first recipes to “go viral” was this Sweet Potato Hash. With good reason, it’s so freaking good!  I made it multiple times a week in the early days of this website and it’s kinda trailed off for no good reason.  Time to bring it back.  I’m whipping up a batch tomorrow to use through the week, it reheats perfectly. Just make the hash ahead of time and fry an egg to throw on top day of.  Recipe at the link in my profile. Double the bath and you’re be good to go on breakfasts for the week.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/bacon-sweet-potato-hash/

BRAND NEW RECIPE Pickle Brined Crispy Chicken Y BRAND NEW RECIPE  Pickle Brined Crispy Chicken  Yep. That crispy skin, that pickle-briney goodness, who *doesn’t* love a juicy thigh right up in their face?  That may be a bit intense of a description for chicken...
