Gutsy By Nature
I have been waiting for so long to share this recipe for paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) pumpkin spiced pancakes with you! Several months ago, my friend and fellow AIP blogger Eileen Laird invited me to participate in a collaborative effort to create a cookbook full of AIP recipes specifically for breakfast. I jumped at the opportunity, because […]
I was recently trying to create a simple asian stir fry while cooking for the family on vacation and tried in vain to find a bottle of teriyaki sauce that was gluten free and not loaded with artificial junk and refined sugar. If only I had known then how easy it was to create your own! […]
These Hawaiian chicken wings are my way of capturing the flavors of the islands in a bite size package and paying homage to the tradition of the grilled huli huli chicken, but without out any of the junky ingredients you’d find in a bottled sauce or the barbecue grill which is likely buried under snow […]
UPDATE: Congratulations Lori L., you are the winner! Check your email and reply to confirm your address… I find it hard to believe now, but for the longest time I thought I hated squash. One of the delightful side effects of going on a diet that restricted most of the starchy foods I used to fill my […]
I am in love with a kitchen appliance and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I feel like an infomercial when I talk about it (It sautes! It steams! It’s a pressure cooker! It’s a slow cooker! And that’s not all… It even makes yogurt!). And I am not lying when I say that I […]
Before I tell you how much I love Real Life Paleo, the new book from Stacy Toth and Matthew McCary (also known as the Paleo Parents), I have to gush about these egg free macaroons. They are every thing you want in a paleo treat: easy to make, rich and creamy, just sweet enough, and […]
Before I get into singing the praises of the nutrient density of this pâté I lovingly call “powerhouse-on-a-plate,” I have to tell you a funny story about the real life troubles of food blogging. It is autumn now and that means that the days are getting shorter and so are the hours in which you […]
Sweet potato fries, made in the oven at home, that are actually crispy? YES! It is possible! I have tried so many different versions of this recipe since adopting a paleo diet and been disappointed with every single one. Sure, they tasted fine, but they were limp and soggy, never crispy. Some recipes called for […]
Every now and then, a cookbook comes along that changes everything you think you know about its particular niche. It presents something in a totally new way or it opens doors of a cuisine to a new audience. Mediterranean Paleo Cooking by popular blogger Caitlin Weeks, her chef husband Nabil Boumrar, and Diane Sanfilippo does both. Think […]
I love playing with herbs and spices in my cooking, so when I first went on the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) and had to eliminate both nightshades and seed-based spices from my diet, I thought I would simply die of food boredom! What saved me is this sage, rosemary and garlic salt – which I […]
