Anna Vocino is an actor, comedian, voice over talent and podcaster. She has performed in numerous television shows, films, commercials, and video games which is a pretty good day job to support her real passion of being a home cook and food blogger.Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2002, Anna has made it her mission to create easy to make, delicious gluten free, sugar free, and grain free versions of her favorite comfort foods, gathered here in “Eat Happy.” She blogs additional recipes at www.AnnaVocino.com and co-hosts The Fitness Confidential podcast with celebrity fitness trainer Vinnie Tortorich. Anna urges you to not only buy several copies of her cookbooks, but also to tag her in pictures of the recipes you make so you can discuss it in front of millions of your closest friends on social media: @AnnaVocino thank you very much.BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Anna Vocino is back with Eat Happy Too: 160+ NEW delicious grain-free, gluten-free, low carb recipes that are also free of processed sugars. Get back to cooking and retrain your taste buds to love food again. You'll be shocked at how good food can taste! Eat Happy Too has 150 more starters, mains, sides, soups, casseroles, slow cooker AND Instant Pot recipes, plus breakfast and a chapter called make your own, so you can learn how to make sauces and dressings from scratch and not be stuck buying chemical laden versions from the grocery store. There is even a desserts chapter which has some splurge recipes made from the finest ingredients, so that when you have something to celebrate, you can do it with minimal metabolic effect on your body. Half of the recipes have dairy, half are dairy free, and most of the recipes with dairy can be made dairy free for those who want to limit their dairy intake. Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2002, Anna Vocino struggled to manage the effects of autoimmune disease and middle age weight gain while still being able to eat delicious and satisfying foods. In 2012, she started podcasting with Vinnie Tortorich and changed her way of eating to not only be gluten free, but also grain and sugar free. Her first cookbook, Eat Happy, is an Amazon best seller, and her audience made it very clear MORE RECIPES, PLEASE! This cookbook is not dairy free and it contains no nutritional breakdowns/macronutrient counts. Please seek medical advice before cooking or eating anything.

ADDITIONAL INFO (some in interview, some not)
The Ayurvedic diet is tailored toward your dosha type, and some of the recommendations can shift with the season or as you age because your dosha can change during these times. Your dosha type will either be a vata, pitta, kapha or a combination of these and the beauty of an Ayurvedic diet is that it doesn’t have to be done all at once.Helpful tips based on your dosha type to improve digestion: Vatas should take a stroll after eating: A brief, relaxing 5–15-minute walk will ground you and help to pull vata dosha types downward to support healthy digestion. Pittas go green: Pitta dosha types tend to favor certain fruits and vegetables over others and should minimize the consumption of sour and salty foods, acidic foods and beverages and meats. Kaphas spice it up: Kapha dosha types should consume spicy and bitter tastes, room temperature or hot beverages, honey and ghee in moderation and warm, cooked foods.Practice intermittent fasting: your gut needs a break to stay efficient, and your body detoxes and repairs overnight. Fasting during sundown honors your circadian rhythms. This automatically generates more energy and greater mental clarity, allowing you to jump out of bed feeling fresh and vibrant each morningThe Power of Mantra: There is an Ayurvedic proverb, “What you eat becomes your mind.” What this means is that your food influences everything about your mind—the way you think as well as your clarity, mood and memory. The foods we drink and the beverages we consume become a part of who we are and the impact that has on not only our brain, but our gut microbiome shapes the health of every organ in our body.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
From the author of The Honey Bus comes a wild and emotional memoir of family and self-discovery, featuring a lovable golden retriever named Edie
Meredith May had a difficult childhood, with a mother who was physically present but emotionally absent. She learned early on to fend for herself, and never had to care for anyone else. When she and her wife, Jenn, adopt Edie, a sweet golden retriever puppy with saucer brown eyes and buttery white fur, Edie wins their hearts immediately. But it isn’t long after Edie joins the family that the problems begin.
Edie is an unusually anxious dog. She cowers around most people and the slightest noise sends her into a frenzy. Edie’s fears become so intense that Meredith and Jenn can’t leave the house. Is this normal puppy behavior or something more? Meredith grows determined to fix Edie, but what will she do if Edie can’t be fixed?
In this poignant and heartfelt memoir, Meredith shares her unforgettable journey with Edie, and the lessons about selflessness and unconditional love that she learns along the way. From treating Edie with CBD gummies to visiting a dog medium, Meredith shows just how far she is willing to go to save her dog. But maybe Edie is secretly the one doing the saving—if Meredith will only open her heart.
