Gutsy By Nature
Is “comfort food” compatible with a healing diet like the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP)? I asked some of my blogger friends who create recipes that are compliant with the protocol for their perspective and got the resounding answer… YES! They buck the conventional wisdom that the nostalgic and sentimental dishes we consider comforting might be […]
Chicken pot pie is the quintessential American comfort food, but a version that is compatible with the requirements of the autoimmune paleo protocol (AIP) but still had a creamy filling and delicate biscuit topping seemed like an impossible feat. That’s why when I had my first taste test bite of this new recipe, I did a […]
The story behind this easy paleo and AIP-friendly recipe for roasted chicken thighs begins with my love-hate relationship with restaurant chef’s cookbooks. On the love side of the relationship is the usually beautiful photography and the chance to get into the mind of some of the greatest in the culinary world. But on the hate […]
When the weather is warm, I cook on our outdoor grill at least a couple times a week. It’s easy, tastes good, and there is virtually nothing left to clean up! Usually I just throw a protein and some vegetables on there without a whole lot of thought, but I noticed that we are kind […]
I could sum up the review of Russ Crandall’s new cookbook, Paleo Takeout, in just three words: BUY IT NOW. You could just quit reading now and jump over to Amazon and order your copy… but first take a second to scroll to the end of this post and check out the sneak preview recipe for Tom […]
Back in my “eat everything” days, I always ordered chicken piccata in Italian restaurants, so creating a tasty paleo chicken piccata that was gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free that I could make at home was a top priority and I’ve been fine tuning my recipe for months! So when my friends Stacy and Matt (better known […]
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 […]
Did you know there is a difference between a so-called “meat chicken” and the hens that are bred for egg laying and sometimes sold as “stewing hens” – even among the quality free range, pastured chickens those who follow a nutrient dense paleo style diet are always looking for? I recently learned this lesson when […]
I just love a simple roast chicken and am always looking for ways to further simplify life by turning it into a one dish meal that harnesses the heat of the oven to cook another dish and puts the juicy drippings to good use. This chicken with cabbage and apples does just that! While the […]
My favorite Italian dish to make at home is a lemon and caper chicken piccata and taking a close second to that would be anything made with prosciutto in the “saltimbocca” style. This recipe is my dairy free and grain free combination of the two, which I have probably completely butchered the Italian syntax by […]
