Gilmore - No excuses detox: 100 recipes to help you eat healthy every day

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am so grateful for all of the talented and caring individuals who have helped me bring this book to life.

To Julie Bennett and Steve Troha, thank you both for working with me again to bring this second book into the Ten Speed Press family. I am humbled to work with such an amazing team and appreciate the support from the whole crew at the Crown Publishing Group and Penguin Random House. Kaitlin Ketchum, thank you so much for masterfully editing my manuscript and helping me to make this book as user-friendly as possible. It has been such a pleasure to work with you!

I want to also thank my photographer Erin Scott for inviting us into her lovely home and for making these photos look so dreamy! These gorgeous shots wouldnt have been possible without the food styling talents of Ashley Marti, her assistants Allison Wu and Michelle Battista, along with the direction of Emma Campion and Ashely Lima. I also want to thank Rachel Perry for standing in when I couldnt be there, and Lizzie Allen for bringing this beautiful book design all together. What a dream team!

To my readers and fans, this book wouldnt be possible without your daily visits, comments, and emails. You all help keep my creativity flowing, and I am forever grateful for each and every one of you.

To my volunteer recipe testers, thank you for bravely trying my kitchen experiments, both good and bad, and for providing such honest and thoughtful feedback. These recipes are better because of you!

I couldnt have done it without the help of Karen and Kevin McNellis, Mike McNellis, Sue von Geyso, Courtney and Tucker Gilmore, Sara Maples, Kristina Saladino, Alex Henton, Jennie and Andrew Perry, Laurel Caes, Laura Sloofman, Alyssa Shrum, Susan Nee, Shannon Spezialy, Carrie Olson, Mary Kando, Chelsie Johnson, Brittany Tolman, Marcia Hoyt, Danae Littlejohn, Linda Ficke, Meghan Kelley, Mary Ellen Nye, Tina Cash, Chawna Dill, Rita Buhlmann, Pammy Josey, Elizabeth Santos, Karen Biebe, Lena Gonzalez, Kate Lunn, Kristy Bilbie-Bekius, Melinda Vita, Julia Silverthorn, Susan Peters, Heather Peters, Julia Bergin, Heather Miller, Jennifer Sage, Alison Moodie, Molly Campbell, Jennifer Gonzalez, Sabine Jentzsch, Kristin Kelly, and Julie La Bar. And a special thanks to my youngest taste testers, Charlotte, Finn, Max, Cora, Audrey, Beckett, and Penny.

To my parents, words cant thank you enough for your constant love and support. Not only are you the best parents a girl could ask for, but you make even better grandparents! Our little guy is lucky to have you, and I thank you for keeping him safe and entertained during this particularly busy time in my life. You really went above and beyond, and I appreciate it more than you know.

To my mother-in-law, Sue, thank you for always being around to help, giving Austin and me much-needed date-nights out, and for cleaning my kitchen every chance that you got. It certainly needed it!

To my son, I suppose I should thank you for turning into a picky toddler, as it has forced me to become even more creative when it comes to sneaking more nutrition into our familys meals and snacks. No matter what, you always manage to brighten my day and I cherish every minute that we get to spend together.

To my daughter, thanks for making me the picky eater this time around! It was no easy feat to develop these recipes while pregnant with food aversions, but I hope the result is a collection of recipes that truly everyone can enjoywhether they are in the mood for healthful foods or not. We couldn't be happier that you have joined our family, and I'm so proud to have worked on this book with you.

Finally, to Austin, thank you for being the absolute best husband, father, and friend I could ask for. None of this would be possible without your support! Thank you for your patience as I made a mess of our kitchen each day, thank you for solo parenting when I needed the extra time, and thank you for all of the back rubs, late-night coffee runs, and taste testing some truly disastrous recipe ideas. I couldnt imagine my life without you!
