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).

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that makes me smile because… Cranberries! Combine those cranberries with Brussels sprouts and roast them in the oven just long enough to get them a little bit crispy on the edges and oh mama, I’m in heaven! I know everyone has their favorite holiday dishes and when you […]
Oh, duck confit… where have you been all my life? Who knew such a fancy sounding dish could actually be so simple to make and also delicious? Maybe my dear readers knew that all along and have been holding out on me, but this is a brand new discovery for me, so please pardon my […]
Preparing fish at home does not need to be complicated or intimidating.

This recipe for braised romanesco with a sweet, salty, and savory mixture of onions, olives, and raisins is my solution! Bring it to the table […]
These updated chicken cabbage rolls share only two things in common with the cabbage roll made by the descendents of Eastern European immigrants and popular on potluck tables of my childhood. The cabbage. And the roll. Everything else is completely unrecognizable… and that’s a good thing! A favorite dish for some, but I was never […]
Believe it or not, the exotic and infiniting interesting flavors of Thai green curry adapt extremely well to the requirements of the autoimmune protocol (AIP) because the dishes are mostly dairy and gluten-free already. If you don’t need to avoid nightshades or other spices, you can use a pre-made green curry paste in this and […]
