Gutsy By Nature
Love it or hate it, tuna casserole is an American classic… at least in the upper Midwest where I grew up, and for years I’ve wondered: could I make a tasty AIP version, perhaps a “Tuna Zoodle Casserole”? My first couple attempts were watery failures (more like tuna zoodle soup… blech). But I kept at […]
There’s nothing quite like steaks on the grill… especially when they are cauliflower steaks! Enjoy them as an accompaniment to something meaty, or put them right in the center of the plate for a show stopping main dish that your vegan friends can enjoy along with you. Cauliflower doesn’t have a lot of it’s own […]
It is so hot and muggy in the Washington, DC area this time of year that I don’t want to use ANY heat for cooking – not even for just a few minutes. I’m not a food historian, but I’m guessing that is exactly why ceviche was invented in coastal South America! It’s a technique […]
Don’t let the long list of ingredients required for this nightshade-free green chicken curry dissuade you from giving it a go… it’s actually quite easy to make and well worth the effort of the grocery shopping trip required! Thai basil and lemongrass The trickiest ingredients to find are probably going to be Thai basil leaves […]
Stuffed flank steak makes a pretty presentation and with the right savory fillings, will appeal to everyone’s palate while still meeting the restrictions of a healing diet like AIP. And your guests won’t ever suspect that it was as easy to make as it really is (nor would they even know it’s “healthy food” unless […]
Wild-caught salmon is one of the most nutrient dense proteins you can choose and this recipe is fast to make and has a rich and savory topping that is turns it into a perfect meal for entertaining, or just indulging yourself on a typical week day. This AIP-compliant dish is from a brand new cookbook […]
Here’s a not-so-secret fact about me. I’m frugal. Of course, I’m willing to pay money for quality food, but I am waaaaaaay too frugal to buy fresh herbs at the grocery store. Especially because I know how very easy (and cheap!) it is to grow those herbs in practically no space and even in limited […]
The sun is shining and life is good! It rained for 6 straight days here last week and I could really feel my mood and wellbeing improve when the skies cleared and the sun appeared again. Even though I knew all of those days of rain were good for my urban vegetable garden (if you […]
This simple salad features two early spring garden staples – arugula and radishes – along with crab meat and avocado for a refreshing and nutrient dense casual lunch or a tasty salad course for dinner. Garden update My incentive for creating this recipe was the fact that my little garden now has radishes and arugula […]
After multiple test batches (which Mr. Gutsy very much enjoyed devouring), I have perfected this technique for making chicken wings with crispy skin and great flavor along side oven sweet potato fries and can finally share it with you! Add your favorite sauce, a simple mixed greens salad or some other green vegetable, and you […]
