Gutsy By Nature
This roasted turnip hummus is for everyone who has looked at a couple big turnips in their CSA box and thought they looked about as appealing as a couple of big rocks. Or for anyone who wants to sneak more vegetables and more diversity of vegetables into their diets! Or for anyone who is following […]
If your favorite way to eat broccoli is smothered in cheese sauce, then this recipe is for you! It is dairy free, but is a pretty good AIP-friendly representation of the cheddar broccoli soup… though much more nutrient dense. The yellow color comes from vitamin A rich butternut squash and optional nutritional yeast adds both […]
A restricted diet, even one like AIP which doesn’t allow nightshades or seeds, doesn’t need to be bland… if you are creative with the foods you are able to eat! This innovative daikon radish coleslaw has a complex flavor that is equal parts refreshing, sweet, and intense. Lemongrass and ginger provide the lead flavors, with […]
These precious little sugar pumpkins are irresistibly cute, and tasty too! Stuffed with apples and dried cranberries, they are a trifecta of autumnal flavors packaged into one and seasoned with a bit of bacon. A cross between a dessert and a savory side dish, they would be a lovely addition to a Halloween themed meal […]
No, these kabocha squash fries aren’t really fried, but trust me when I tell you that you’ll love them anyway. If you ask me, the crown jewel of the winter squashes is the brilliant orange fleshed kabocha squash with an edible green peel, especially when cut into finger-sized chunks and oven roasted with herbs. While […]
There’s nothing quite like steaks on the grill… especially when they are cauliflower steaks! Enjoy them as an accompaniment to something meaty, or put them right in the center of the plate for a show stopping main dish that your vegan friends can enjoy along with you. Cauliflower doesn’t have a lot of it’s own […]
The alternate title to this post should be “What to do when you grow way too many pickling cucumbers in your urban garden and don’t want any more pickles!” I’ve made dill pickles, sweet pickles, spicy pickles, fermented pickles, refrigerated pickles, and canned pickles… and quite honestly, I’m pickled out. And yet the vines keep […]
Yes, you can pickle most anything and these quick pickled carrots with AIP-friendly spices prove that true! And yet, when we hear “pickle,” cucumbers are what come to mind most often and “dill” is the seasoning. But acid, salt, and spices can transform even the most mundane food into something exotic and flavorful, perfect for […]
Grilling over high heat is one of the very best ways to prepare asparagus because you can get a nice char and smokiness, while still keeping it tender. But I always found it tricky because the spears would get caught in between the grates of my electric patio grill and sometimes even fall through to […]
Garlic scapes taste just like garlic cloves, but are low-FODMAP! That’s right! Just like the green parts of green onions, these curiosities don’t contain the pesky fructans that give so many people digestive difficulties when they eat regular garlic and onions. They are extremely seasonal, with the entire harvest happening at once in early summer, […]
