Gutsy By Nature
Looking for a nightshade-free, AIP-compliant sheet pan chicken fajitas? I’ve got you covered here… using one of my favorite fall vegetables as a stand-in for the more traditional yellow bell pepper! This is a super easy recipe, perfect for weeknight cooking. There is a little bit of prep time required, but that could be easily […]
Bacon wrapped scallops are one of those dishes almost everyone goes for, even people who aren’t big fans of other shellfish or seafood. And no one really thinks of as special diet food, but as long as you use a compliant bacon they work for AIP and a variety of other dietary needs! You can […]
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 […]
Carob syrup is the secret ingredient to these sticky sweet and sour chicken wings. Wings like these are an easy concept, but a challenge to execute at home without a deep fryer and an even bigger challenge if you are operating within the confines of a soy-free and sugar-restricted diet like the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). […]
Photos of these extra crispy chicken wings truly don’t do them justice! The joy of eating them must be experienced to be appreciated. You would swear that they have been deep fried; but in fact it is just the magic of one secret ingredient and a two-part cooking technique in the oven that gives them […]
My dear blog friends… I am so sorry that I have neglected you these past few months! It seems like one minute it was March, then I blinked and here it is already the middle of June. A number of things have been taking up my time, including continued study toward becoming a certified nutritional […]
Since “going paleo” a few years ago, I have been introduced to a number of new-to-me foods that I now love, and high atop that list are yuca fries! Known and loved as yuca frita in much of Latin America, they are a great alternative to traditional french fries for people who are following the autoimmune protocol […]
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 […]
It has been well established that paleo meatballs do not NEED a binder like bread or breadcrumbs to hold their shape. Recipes for grain free and dairy free meatballs can be found and most of them taste really good. But they still lack a certain authenticity, a softness, a “meatball-iness.” Or rather, they are heavy on the “meat” […]
These plantain chips are my paleo answer to an overwhelming desire to enjoy chips and guacamole! I know some paleo people are able to eat organic corn chips and more power to them, I say. Unfortunately for me, corn (along with wheat) is one grain I steer completely clear of because I’ve had allergic reactions […]
