Ready or Not!

150+ Make-Ahead, Make-Over, and Make-Now Recipes by Nom Nom Paleo

Ready or Not! makes healthy Paleo home cooking a breeze, no matter if there’s time to prepare or just minutes to spare. Whether you’re a fastidious planner or a last-minute improviser, you’ll find plenty of deliciously nourishing options, from make-ahead feasts and treats to lightning-fast leftover makeovers and make-now meals.

  • KINDA READY! Learn how to transform pantry staples and leftovers into impromptu meals that’ll satisfy the most discriminating palates.
