Gutsy By Nature
Looking for an easy gluten-free or AIP dessert that will wow your holiday guests? A rustic French galette is the perfect canvas for simple or exotic flavors. You could make it with berries or apples, but this mixture of pears and cranberries provides seasonal color and an optional sprinkle of rosemary takes it up another […]
Ready to travel the world – culinarily speaking, anyway? This hearty Irish stew is just a preview of the adventures that await you in a brand new AIP cookbook that I’m honored to be part of, along with an all-star global cast of AIP recipe creators! The book is called The Global Paleo AIP Kitchen, […]
“Spoon” lamb is a classic preparation that results in meat so tender you can eat it with a… yes, a spoon. Thanks to an Instant Pot, this AIP-friendly version is made in about 2 hours. I know that doesn’t sound like it deserves the label of being “fast” – but compared to the 7 hour […]
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 […]
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 […]

They don’t show up here in Virginia until late September, so it was quite a treat to […]
I just can’t help myself when it comes to apple crumble (or “apple crisp” – whatever you want to call it!). This is not the first recipe I’ve created for an AIP-compliant apple crumble… in fact, it isn’t even the second! But this is the best one so far… in part because it is scaled […]
Love it or hate it, tuna casserole is an American classic… at least in the upper Midwest where I grew up, and for years I’ve wondered: could I make a tasty AIP version, perhaps a “Tuna Zoodle Casserole”? My first couple attempts were watery failures (more like tuna zoodle soup… blech). But I kept at […]
There are few treats that bring me back to my wholesome midwestern childhood as quickly as simple toffee bars do. They were a staple of homemade goodness, both made by my mother for my sister and me, and then later made by us when we learned how to bake. They worked because they provided the […]
