Gutsy By Nature
Bone broth. I recently realized that it is no longer accurate to say that bone broth is “having a moment.” Of course, that has always been true! The idea of making a long-simmered broth or stock from bones and other scraps and then using it as both a culinary ingredient and health-promoting tool as been […]
I’ve cracked two codes with this BBQ pork spare ribs recipe! These are fall-off-the-bone tender pork spare ribs that don’t take all day to cook with an easy but delicious AIP compliant sauce. Most of the cooking is done in a pressure cooker but you can finish them like I did on an outdoor grill […]
If you prefer a fancy Italian name, you can call this “zuppa di salsiccia,” which simply means sausage soup. It was born on a cold January night when when I was craving something nourishing and hearty like the white bean and sausage soup I used to make, before I realized that legumes and my digestive […]
This recipe for paleo pork vindaloo veers away from the traditional in a few ways, but is still so flavorful and easy to make, especially with the help of my favorite kitchen multi-tasker, the Instant Pot.

While I appreciate a fancy steak as much as the next person, if given the choice I will pick a simple chuck roast any day, especially since I discovered how incredibly flavorful and tender the humble cut can be when braised with flavorful herbs. This economical cut benefits from the “low and slow” cooking method, but I […]
This is the most wonderful time of year… but it is also emotionally fraught. For as much as I have to be grateful for, there is something about the impending holiday season that also makes me sad at times. Don’t get me wrong – I’m happy for all the wonderful things in my life, but […]
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 […]
This recipe for braised lamb shanks is nutrient dense, paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly, delicious and comforting, easy to prepare, and even budget conscious! And with the use of a pressure cooker, what would typically be an all day dish is something you can make after a long day at work. What more could you […]
I am in love with a kitchen appliance and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I feel like an infomercial when I talk about it (It sautes! It steams! It’s a pressure cooker! It’s a slow cooker! And that’s not all… It even makes yogurt!). And I am not lying when I say that I […]
