Gutsy By Nature
I made this gorgeous AIP-friendly version of a Cobb salad as part of our “around-the-world” culinary adventures in 2020. I’ve learned so much during this year long project about things that I had never even thought about before. For example, I never knew that “baked beans” are called that because they are… baked! I just […]
Stuffed acorn squash makes for an appealing presentation, especially on a holiday table, and jazzes up what is otherwise often a pretty bland vegetable. Yes, I’ll admit it. While I generally love winter squash, acorn squash has never been one of my favorites… except when used as a vehicle for a delicious sweet and savory […]
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 […]
I had so much fun plating these garlic shrimp zucchini boats for the pictures, and couldn’t resist the urge to stand the basil leaves up like sails on a sailboat.

I was inspired to create this recipe a couple weeks ago when my self-study and exploration of world cuisines […]
Many of the clients I work with have to be coaxed into eating more salmon and other fish, not because they don’t enjoy eating it but because they are intimidated at the thought of preparing it at home. I understand; because I was too! I’m not sure where we get that idea because the reality […]
These asparagus recipes prove that this vegetable is epitome of easy! Practically no prep work is needed and it cooks in a flash. It is a delicious and nutritious addition to your vegetable rotation and should especially enjoyed when it is in season locally. Why eat asparagus? No question about it, asparagus is nutrient dense.

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 […]
