Are you passionate about learning how to eat pure?
Do you want simple recipes that will help you to incorporate whole, natural, colorful foods into your meals?
Are you ready to have an easy way to add cancer-kicking vitamins and minerals, phytochemicals, heart-healthy fats and oils, fiber, and age-reversing antioxidants to your daily diet?
If you answered yes to any of the above three questions, then I have a perfect cookbook for you.
According to Hallie Klecker, author of The Pure Kitchen and Daily Bites Blog, this cookbook is jam-packed with:
- Simple ways to successfully transition to a whole foods diet
- A guide to stocking the pure kitchen
- Lessons in label-reading and easily avoiding gluten and dairy
- Tips for menu planning, shopping, and charming the palates of picky eaters
- 100 scrumptious recipes free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar
I have to tell you that, although I only have had this book for a few weeks, it already has the look of a well-loved cooking tool. It has fingerprints and smudges on it and post-it notes hanging out from the sides for dishes that I have already made and then for the ones that I will be making soon.
I have tried quite a few of these recipes already. Each one has really been amazing and just full of whole natural foods.
And all of the baking recipes are loaded with whole grains instead of just starchy flours…just how I like them. It is exactly how I do my baking, so this book fits seamlessly into my kitchen.
Recently, I made the Apple Snack Cakes with Oatmeal Topping. These were devoured promptly. The kids loved them (as did my husband and I). They were a great healthy start to the day and I had to restrain the boys from eating too many at one sitting.
I also whipped up the Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Clusters. I made them to bring as a snack for a family outing we took a couple of weeks ago. I figured a few would get eaten on the trek and then we would be able to save the rest for part of our breakfasts during the week.
Apparently I underestimated how much my family would like them. They were almost gone before we even pulled the car back into the driveway on that first day.
There was no way I could complain though. These babies are loaded with the good stuff: oats, raisins, walnuts, flax meal, and pumpkin puree, just to name a few ingredients.

i am trying to help others in this dorm to be healthy!
This cookbook would be good for me for many reasons. I’m gluten intolerant. I need to learn menu planning. And I have a toddler I’m teaching to eat healthy. I’m looking forward to seeing this book!
This would be an awesome cookbook for me! One, because I love your blog an recipes. Two, because I’m gluten-intolerant, and lactose-intolerant, so I need to keep my foods pure and real! And three, because I love to try new things and to work with real food.
I “liked” the Cook it Allergy free page on Facebook!
I already “liked” the Daily Bites page on facebook…that’s how I found out about this giveaway!
This cookbook sounds perfect for me because I am trying to incorporate more whole, gluten free foods to my and my family’s diet. I am very over weight and want to stop eating refined sugar and hope to teach my children to eat healthy and avoid getting over weight like their mother.
I am already a fan of yours on Facebook!
I am also already a fan of Daily Bites on Facebook as well! Sure hope I win the cookbook!

This cookbook would be great for me because I have celiac disease and hypoglycemia, so I have to be very careful with eating no gluten and limited sugar–and I also love to cook fresh pure foods!
I am the best hope for making healthy changes in my family.
I do follow Cook It Allergy Free
I found Daily Bites, that looks good too, and is one I didnt have before, thank you.
This would be a great book for my family because we found out a year ago that we are all gluten and casein intolerant after over a decade of all five of us experiencing different life altering symptoms including a heart condition, severe skin rashes, intense headaches, and neurological dysfunction which all seem to either have completely resolved or become less debilitating since giving up gluten and casein.
At the end of July this year, because of my health issues, I needed to switch to a mostly vegan diet while still trying to make food that my family would eat.
I am taking it one recipe at a time
A wide range of family illnesses have pushed us into awareness of so many issues and we are now on a hunt for the best options for us all.
I’d love to have a copy of Hallie’s cookbook. I’ve read her blog for a long time. Her Grain-Free Granola Balls are a staple in our house. I already follow her on Facebook.
This book would be perfect for my celiac daughter.
My husband is a a higher risk for colon cancer because of Crohn’s.
I have liked both FB pages:)
I have recently started experimenting with a gluten free and dairy free diet and this would really help inspire me with this transition
I have three boys (plus me) with food allergies and intolerances and they’re sick to tears of my old stand-bys! We are desperate for new, tasty recipes. I am desperate to improve their collective health and eating habits.

My 3 year old son is allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts, treenuts.
Not only do I have a huge and varied set of allergies but I’m a holistic nutritionist with several clients who either by choice or fate are gluten- dairy- egg- sugar free and trying to live a more wholesome lifestyle, and many of whom are inexperienced in the kitchen – this would be a JOY to have in my arsenal!
Just wanted to say I’m following Daily Bites and CIAF on Facebook!
I have an allergy to almost EVERYTHING right now! I also have two sweet, wonderful children with allergies and special needs that deserve to enjoy delicious food…I am constantly searching for recipes that work for all of our needs! Would be a fantastic treat for all of us! New to your site and love it…thank you so much!
This would be a perfect cookbook for me because it’s just the way I’m trying to transition to eating, but having a hard time actually accomplishing.

Took my kids gluten and dairy free and found out I thrived on that diet too! I really do love cooking but have to start all over learning recipes and figuring things out. Believe we are on the right track. Thanks for your blog. Jamie
