Gutsy By Nature
One of the principles of the autoimmune protocol is that we try to eat as much variety as we can within the parameters of the allowed ingredients, especially the vegetables. This recipe uses tatsoi, a leafy green member of the brassica family and closely related to bok choy, which has long been a staple of […]
This AIP-friendly creamy vegetable beef soup is a study in contradictions. It’s creamy without a drop of dairy, vegetable focused but not vegetable-forward, both light and hearty, and ready in about 30 minutes yet full of flavor you’d expect from a long simmered stew! It’s also very flexible… I actually toyed with the idea of […]
These fragrant lemongrass beef skewers make a delicious dinner main course, cooked either on your outdoor grill on these waning warm days… or indoors in a grill pan any time. And once social gatherings are again safe to resume, they would also make a crowd-pleasing “eat-with-your-hands” appetizer. A note about life in 2020 and fighting […]
This week’s new recipe for herb meatballs with sautéed chard is an homage to the late summer garden, especially the bountiful herbs and the bright colors of the rainbow Swiss chard just now hitting its peak. I was inspired to create this recipe a couple weeks ago when my self-study and exploration of world cuisines […]

The best […]
Thai basil is one of my favorite herbs to both grow and to eat. It pairs perfectly with beef and adds a great punch of complex flavor to the dish, which is always welcome but especially when you are following AIP and have to avoid so many other flavors. It’s also very easy to grow… […]
The 1950 classic edition of Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook describes American Potage as “A quick, savory, meat-and-vegetable soup.” Start to finish it takes a bit more than 1 whole hour to make and a significant investment of labor in the form of peeling and chopping vegetables, which serves as a clear reminder that “quick” meant […]
This multi-purpose shredded beef is perfect for tacos and taco salads, as shown in the photographs in this post, but it will be equally delicious on a salad, on top of stuffed sweet potato, or added to some stir fried vegetables either for a breakfast hash or a dinner sauté over cauli-rice. Meal Prep Tips […]
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! […]
