Gutsy By Nature
If you are following AIP, you probably think Indian food is completely out of bounds, what with all the seed based spices, nightshades, and ghee… right? My Paleo AIP Indian Adventure, a brand new cookbook by Bethany Darwin, proves that assumption is completely wrong! Whether you are craving spicy curries or savory chapati or lamb […]
The unique flavor of preserved lemons combined with chicken is one of my favorite combinations and this fast one-pot dish gets it on the table in under 30 minutes, allowing you to enjoy them even on a busy weeknight. It is pretty much a meal on it’s own if you are feeding just two or […]
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, […]
I’ve been on a culinary tour of Latin America – and I didn’t even have to leave my house to do it, or compromise on my commitment to a healing diet! This virtual “trip” came courtesy of an exciting new cookbook that landed in my mailbox earlier this month by the blogger behind The Curious Coconut, […]
My dear blog friends… I am so sorry that I have neglected you these past few months! It seems like one minute it was March, then I blinked and here it is already the middle of June. A number of things have been taking up my time, including continued study toward becoming a certified nutritional […]
Let’s just say that I have a complicated relationship with the official food of my childhood home state of Wisconsin. I can eat a couple bites here and there of the good quality stuff and I feel fine, but the problem is that I love it too much to ever stop at just a couple […]
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 […]
It doesn’t get more comforting than a creamy casserole like shepherd’s pie, or its cousin “cottage pie” – which is what it is properly called with made with ground beef instead of lamb. Yes, I’m a stickler on that point. Why the heck would a shepherd be eating a pie made with beef? Shepherds herd […]
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 […]
Paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) meals should be comprised of 2/3 to 3/4 vegetables… easy enough to do when the garden is overflowing in the summer, but what about the cool months? Thankfully the vast majority of fall and winter vegetables are AIP-compliant and there is a huge variety to choose from, so you never have […]
