About Stormy and the Maoomba.com Blog
“Stormy, your ideas have added a spark to my meals. I’m finding more creativity and interest with Paleo. I am so grateful for your site~ your photography is vibrant & compelling from natural paleo wholeness to these amazing spaces and places you share. I feel refreshed, uplifted and renewed by your post today. Thanks so much for what you bring!” –Barbara Coon [from Facebook]
“Stormy has an incredible and unique way of leading with both her heart and head. When she spoke to my community of mothers they were inspired and encouraged to dive deeper into their own journey of health. Stormy’s warm, authentic and non-judgmental voice is a gift to those wanting to empower their own health through listening to the messages of their own body.” –Lisa Byrne, Well-Grounded Life
“Stormy was a recent guest on my internet radio show, Rich&GlutenFree. She talked about lunches — what she calls the forgotten meal — she was a great guest and very compelling: To date, this is one of the most frequently downloaded broadcasts. And the sister blog post on gluten-free lunches also tops the charts. Stormy’s expertise in eating healthy is evident and it’s worth connecting with her on her own website: Maoomba. com.” – Susan Rich, Internet Radio Talk Show Host, Rich & Gluten Free

About Stormy’s Classes
“[I] just completed my first ever hangout – a home-style Mexican Chorizo making class with + on ChefHangout.com. I was skeptical about participating in an online cooking class, but it was actually very fun and informative. The ability to ask detailed questions and have Stormy answer them made it far more helpful than a video would have been. If you are new to sausage making or want more information on Chorizo specifically, I recommend giving it a try.” –David Mikulin
Paleo Power Lunch
Foreword to the Book
by Melissa Joulwan, author of Well Fed: Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat and The Clothes Make The Girl Blog
Eating Paleo is often defined by the things we give up, so it’s always refreshing to find someone who opens up our minds to the vast, delicious possibilities of meat, vegetables, fruits, and fats.
With her charming, effective cookbook, Stormy Sweitzer completely redefines the phrase “power lunch.” Forget about professionals taking deals and making calls from the corner table of a swank dining room. These are real power lunches: meals packed with body-building protein, vibrant produce, luscious nuts and oils, and — most importantly — flavors that will satisfy your taste buds and make it easy to be true to your healthy habits.
More than a cookbook, Paleo Power Lunch is a how-to guide for creating easy-to-make, easy-to-transport meals that will make lunch a welcome respite in the middle of a busy work day — whether you’re in a corporate office or CEO of your household.
The basis of the Power Lunch is a salad. But forget about bowls of tired greens and grilled chicken. Stormy’s vibrant salad ideas combine elements of sweet and savory, chewy and crisp, all-American and international — along with homemade dressings of endless variations. With Stormy’s simple instructions, even cooks with limited kitchen experience will be Paleo power players.
But it’s not just about the recipes. Drawing on her own experience, Stormy goes beyond recipes to teach you real-life strategies for shopping, prepping, and packing your food. The pages are bursting with helpful tips to minimize prep time so you can make the most of meal time. There’s a handy chart to help you plan weekly meals, along with advice on the science of packing to keep your Power Lunch fresh and crisp.
The recipes in Paleo Power Lunch will feed your imagination and your body, and the helpful tips will simplify the logistics of keeping your good health habits, even when you’re eating away from home.
More Kind Words
“If you are finding it difficult to stick with a Paleo diet, especially when away from home, then Paleo Power Lunch will keep you on track! This book is so much more than just recipes and ideas for office or on-the-go lunches. It’s also a semi-template/workbook to help you learn to create your own power meals without wasting your most valuable resources – time, energy and money. In Paleo Power Lunch, Stormy Sweitzer provides coaching and strategies to help you create meals based on your preferences and the foods you have on hand. Even though I have been making my own salad dressings for years, I now have several new one that I can’t wait to try, so there’s plenty there for experienced cooks.
But if you are a beginner in the kitchen, or struggling with fueling your body while on the job, I highly recommend that you get this book and read it on your next day off. In no time at all, you’ll be preparing lunches that are the envy of all of your co-workers while getting healthier AND saving money!” –Patty Strilaeff, www.chowstalker.com
