Gutsy By Nature
Fish cooked in the Livornese style usually means a tomato based sauce, but my version of the classic Tuscan dish takes out the tomatoes entirely so that people who are on the autoimmune protocol or who otherwise need to avoid nightshades can still enjoy the incredible flavor of two kinds of olives, capers, and aromatics. […]
I didn’t set out to create this recipe; it created itself! Boneless chicken thighs, a few pieces of bacon, a bunch of kale, and some gorgeous king trumpet oyster mushrooms were all rolling around my refrigerator one day and I decided to see what turned out when I threw them all in my favorite pan, […]
These miniature pear tarts are like the dessert equivalent of a Mini Cooper* — adorably cute and sophisticated, all in one elegant package! Plus, they are a perfect dessert for people on a healing diet like AIP or SCD, not only because they meet all the requirements for compliance, but because they offer built-in portion […]

I can hardly call this pork chop sheet pan dinner a “recipe” as it is little more than arranging foods on a pan and setting a timer! But I wanted to share because the truth is that this is the way most meals in my house get made. Yes, I’m in the food blogging business […]
Comfort food, plain and simple. This variation on chicken and dumplings is an AIP-friendly version of a dish that I grew up eating throughout my childhood in Wisconsin, especially during the busy school year. It was usually made from scratch, always with homemade dumplings and usually a creamy dairy-based sauce, though sometimes a can of […]
Your search for delicious and easy gluten-free and AIP crackers ends here! These garlic herb crackers are the real deal… crisp and crunchy with a hint of olive oil flavor on top of the rosemary and thyme that gives them plenty of interesting taste. I created them to be a vehicle for my favorite liver […]
It’s zucchini season in my part of the world and I’ve discovered that the very best way to enjoy it is fresh and with as little alteration as possible. This zucchini relish, served with some seared or grilled medium-rare ahi tuna steaks, is a beautiful showcase for a vegetable that too often gets lost in […]
