Gutsy By Nature
Good morning! What’s for breakfast? If you are at my house, chances are good it’s some kind of an AIP breakfast hash. Frequently it’s a combination of leftovers and other odds and ends that I want to use up, but I do have a few favorite “recipes” that mostly exist in my head… until now! […]
This roasted turnip hummus is for everyone who has looked at a couple big turnips in their CSA box and thought they looked about as appealing as a couple of big rocks. Or for anyone who wants to sneak more vegetables and more diversity of vegetables into their diets! Or for anyone who is following […]
Who has a New Years resolution that involves eating better, being more organized, and/or saving more money? If so, then meal prep can help… and one of my favorite meal prep meals types is the Mason jar salad! Once you know the formula, it’s easy to modify and make your own, which is why I […]
If your favorite way to eat broccoli is smothered in cheese sauce, then this recipe is for you! It is dairy free, but is a pretty good AIP-friendly representation of the cheddar broccoli soup… though much more nutrient dense. The yellow color comes from vitamin A rich butternut squash and optional nutritional yeast adds both […]
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!

“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 […]
As the days get shorter and colder, I find myself turning to AIP comfort food recipes like this Greek shepherd’s pie. This is also the short season when my local Trader Joe’s stocks the purple skinned, white fleshed murasaki sweet potatoes, which make a perfect shepherd’s pie topping when you can’t eat nightshades. All about […]
These precious little sugar pumpkins are irresistibly cute, and tasty too! Stuffed with apples and dried cranberries, they are a trifecta of autumnal flavors packaged into one and seasoned with a bit of bacon. A cross between a dessert and a savory side dish, they would be a lovely addition to a Halloween themed meal […]
It’s no secret that I’m a delicata squash fan… I even converted my parents when I was visiting them in northern Wisconsin in mid-July and was excited to discover that they already had some in their local markets! They don’t show up here in Virginia until late September, so it was quite a treat to […]
No, these kabocha squash fries aren’t really fried, but trust me when I tell you that you’ll love them anyway. If you ask me, the crown jewel of the winter squashes is the brilliant orange fleshed kabocha squash with an edible green peel, especially when cut into finger-sized chunks and oven roasted with herbs. While […]
