But in case you haven’t (well, you should — follow us here!), I went on my Choose Surprise trip for Marshalls. And it was everything. EVERYTHING. The one thing I love most about Marshalls is exactly what they are best known for — amazing surprises in each of their stores at incredible prices. That element of surprise makes shopping FUN, and I love knowing that even though I don’t know exactly what I …

How a Professional Snowboarder Strengthens Her Core

Professional snowboarder Spencer O’Brien is a six-time X Games medalist, Olympian, FIS World Champion, TTR World Champion, Winter Dew Tour Champion and five-year veteran of the Canadian National Team. Whoa, that’s quite the resume, right?! But get this. She first learned to snowboard at age 11, and then turned pro just five years later at the age of 16. Her career hasn’t been without hardship though. In 2013, O’Brien was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis — just two months before the Sochi Winter Olympics. While dealing with pain and overcoming obstacles to identify the right course of treatment, O’Brien has kept kicking …

More Than Mirror Muscles

  Whenever I hear someone talking about how hard they’re working on getting cut abs or killer shoulders, I always think of the trainers working with those folks. I mean, I totally understand that it’s tempting to really just focus on those mirror muscles — you know, the ones you tend to see when you look in the mirror — but if you’re going for overall health and not just a really hot sweaty selfie, you’ve gotta work the whole body. And if you’re the trainer working with somebody who’s laser focused on one body part, how do you convince …

Ready or Not! 2018 Wall Calendar

2018 Ready or Not! Wall Calendar by Michelle Tam + Henry Fong http://nomnompaleo.com

I know that many of my loyal Nomsters have already preordered our upcoming cookbook, Ready or Not!—and to you, we want to say THANK YOU—you kick butt! (Also: Don’t forget to nab your exclusive preorder thank you gifts!)

Yes, we know that Ready or Not!’s August 1 publication date is still weeks away, and you’re sick of waiting. But here’s a bit of exciting news to tide you over: Our Ready or Not! 2018 companion wall calendar is coming out on July 11th, a good three weeks before our cookbook arrives, and mere days from now!

We designed (okay, technically, Henry designed) this colorful and cheeky calendar so that you’ll have cooking inspiration hanging on your wall for 16 months—from September 2017 to December 2018. It contains a curated collection of healthy and delicious recipes from our blog, app, and cookbooks—all presented in the same deliriously fun style as Ready or Not! And just like our books, this wall calendar features step-by-step photography and instructions that’ll take you by the hand and ease you through the cooking process.

With a different Paleo recipe for each month of 2018 ranging from hearty suppers to easy snacks and sides, this wall calendar will inspire you to cook all year round, no matter if there’s time to prepare or just minutes to spare. See?

Best of all, this colorful calendar also includes a sheet of super cute stickers to keep you motivated throughout the year. There’s even a little pressure cooker and a tiny bottle of fish sauce!

By the way, this isn’t a cruddy calendar made with cheap-o paper that’ll fall apart in your hands. Our publisher, Andrews McMeel, is known in the industry for its super-high-quality bestselling calendars, so you know our calendar will stand the test of time. Hang this baby on your wall, and it’ll make cooking a habit you’ll never want to break.

At least not until 2019.
