Gutsy By Nature
Do you remember the “Muffin Tops” episode of Seinfeld? If you were alive in 1997 when it aired – or even if you weren’t but have seen any reruns of this iconic sitcom series – I bet you do. This recipe for AIP blueberry muffin bites is my nod to that because it’s all muffin […]
Making homemade sausage is not nearly as hard as you may think, and these AIP-friendly apple and chicken breakfast sausages are completely worth the effort! Simply start with pre-ground meat, mix in seasonings of your choice, and then shape into either patties or links. You can make a batch and fry or bake right away, […]
Good morning! What’s for breakfast? If you are at my house, chances are good it’s some kind of an AIP breakfast hash. Frequently it’s a combination of leftovers and other odds and ends that I want to use up, but I do have a few favorite “recipes” that mostly exist in my head… until now! […]
These gluten-free bagels are so much like the real thing, you just might think you are dreaming. The pumpkin and cranberry flavor is just a bonus on top of the perfect bagel density and chewiness! I designed these to be 100% AIP compliant, but I’d be selling them short if I didn’t also try to […]

What is a “tigernut” and why is it allowed on AIP? Tigernuts win the prize for having both the most interesting and misleading name I have ever encountered. They have nothing to do with tigers or any part of their anatomy, nor are they nuts at all. They are actually very small root vegetables that […]
Tostones, or twice-fried green plantains, are an AIP breakfast staple for me. Cheap, easy, and delicious – what’s not to love? Well, the fact that they take a little bit of time is one! You have to peel, cut, heat oil, cook pieces on all sides, remove from hot oil, smash, return to hot oil, […]
First, a personal update… I’m excited to tell you that tomorrow (February 13, 2017) I officially start the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) course with the Nutritional Therapy Association! It is a very rigorous 9 month program and I am going to be balancing it with my already demanding full time job and still keeping my […]
Breakfast soup may seem like an odd choice to some, but in fact it is a common dish in cultures around the world. A humble bowl of soup is nourishing, satisfying, and quick – all features busy people appreciate for that first meal of the day – and can be easily made to conform to the requirements […]
