Gutsy By Nature
What’s the month of August without some chocolate ice cream? If you are in the elimination stage of the autoimmune protocol (AIP), or like me have discovered that you don’t tolerate chocolate OR dairy products, you may think your only answer to that question is to stomp your feet and scrunch up your face and […]
Ease. Every January I pick a single to be my theme for the new year and my 2020 year is “ease.” I aim to manifest ease in my life in many ways, but the most obvious for you is going to be in the recipes that I share this year. Instead of trying to AIP-ify […]
The best things in life often happen when you are looking for something else entirely… and this smoky “cheese” spread made from kabocha squash, bacon, and a few other key ingredients is a deliciously great example of that! Believe it or not, I was actually going for soup when I started out and almost burned […]
Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizer and party food dishes and this seafood variation on that classic is not only compliant with the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol (AIP) but also packed to the gills with nutrient density, which is good for everyone!

Much of the joy of Christmas and the other winter holidays is in the anticipation and preparation for them and that includes baking holiday cookies and candy. If this is your first winter on AIP or another healing diet, you may be thinking that you won’t get to do that this year – but this […]
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that makes me smile because… Cranberries! Combine those cranberries with Brussels sprouts and roast them in the oven just long enough to get them a little bit crispy on the edges and oh mama, I’m in heaven! I know everyone has their favorite holiday dishes and when you […]
Oh, duck confit… where have you been all my life? Who knew such a fancy sounding dish could actually be so simple to make and also delicious? Maybe my dear readers knew that all along and have been holding out on me, but this is a brand new discovery for me, so please pardon my […]
Most of the food I make at home is delicious, yet simple. Some of it is fancy. And then there are the rare delicious dishes that are both simple and fancy, such this pan-seared duck breast with sage and pear sauce. It happens to be compliant with the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol (AIP) […]
