Gutsy By Nature
Who has a New Years resolution that involves eating better, being more organized, and/or saving more money? If so, then meal prep can help… and one of my favorite meal prep meals types is the Mason jar salad! Once you know the formula, it’s easy to modify and make your own, which is why I […]
Stuffed flank steak makes a pretty presentation and with the right savory fillings, will appeal to everyone’s palate while still meeting the restrictions of a healing diet like AIP. And your guests won’t ever suspect that it was as easy to make as it really is (nor would they even know it’s “healthy food” unless […]
Everyone knows about “Taco Tuesday” and “Friday Fish Fry” was a staple of my childhood, and I think it is high time we gave the humble meatball its own day too! Having a theme makes AIP menu planning a little bit easier and a lot more fun, and because ground meat is often the most […]
Though we associate this Korean dish with its signature sweet potato starch glass noodles, the name japchae actually translates as “mixed vegetables,” which makes it all the more perfect for healing diets like the Paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP)! I’d been playing around with the flavors for this elimination phase compliant version of the dish for […]
Ah, Salisbury steak! For ages I thought the only way it existed was as a bland frozen blob in a box and only recently discovered that there was such a thing as homemade Salisbury steak. Who knew? But sadly, many of the recipes one finds on the internet are built around highly processed and very […]

Long before I adopted a grain and dairy free diet, I fell in love with beef stroganoff and tinkered with a recipe until I had a foolproof method for making a single skillet version of it that was quick and easy for weeknight meals. Only recently, with the discovery of sweet potato noodles in the […]
Way back in 2013, shortly after I started this blog, I created and shared a recipe for rosemary and garlic braised oxtail. I gushed about how delicious it was and what a great use of a cheap cut of beef it was, kicking off a series of posts I labeled “Grassfed on a Budget.” Well, […]
With its heavy use of soy and peanuts, Thai food takes some manipulating to make it fit the paleo eating template. Fortunately, coconut aminos and sunflower seed butter make terrific substitutes! This recipe is not an exact recreation of any specific Thai dish, but instead a riff on the flavors I love from that region. I […]
Jewish paleo food sounds like an impossible oxymoron but this new cookbook proves that you can stay grain-free and still nosh on all your old favorites – even bagels! The New Yiddish Kitchen is a joint effort of Simone Miller, chef and owner of Zenbelly Catering and author of The Zenbelly Cookbook, and Jennifer Robins, founder […]
