These cookies have been on my mind lately. I actually created this recipe in the Spring because I knew once the weather turned cooler in the Fall that I would be craving a cookie like this. This chocolate cookie is perfect with a cup of hot apple cider, but I also think they would be …
Lemon Coconut Cake with Lemon Glaze
Happy almost Easter and Happy Spring! This week I am headed to Nashville for Spring Break to visit my sister so I have been busy packing and prepping for my upcoming trip. Since I will be in Nashville for Easter I am not sure what I will be eating for Easter dinner yet but I …
Chocolate Peppermint Coconut Truffles (AIP, Paleo)
I can’t believe that Christmas is already over! The holiday season always seems to come and go so quickly and every year I try to savor these moments a little more. It’s such a magical time of year and I love that everyone can relax for a few days and spend time with their loved …
Chocolate Caramels (AIP, Paleo)
These Chocolate caramels are the real deal you guys! Nobody will be able to tell that they are dairy or chocolate free. I should caution that these are very sweet and should be eaten in moderation but if you can’t indulge in a little chocolate at Christmas time then when can you? I had to …
AIP Birthday Menu 2017
Last month I celebrated my 29th Birthday. It was also my third birthday while following the autoimmune protocol. Of course I have reintroduced certain foods and can enjoy the odd non-paleo/aip treat but for the most part I still stick to an AIP outline because my body feels best when I do. So I …
Holiday Bars (AIP, Paleo)
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… everywhere you look! I am so excited to start off December with my first holiday recipe! I use to make a version of these holiday bars in my pre-AIP days and I absolutely loved them. I wanted to try and create something similar and so this recipe …
Herb Roasted Duck
It is officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited. Outside it looks like a winter wonderland and I am patiently waiting for a free weekend so that I can get going on my Christmas baking! When I think of a holiday meal my mind instinctively goes to turkey but this year I …
Tuna Noodle Casserole (AIP, Paleo)
I have always been a fan of comfort food, and Tuna Noodle Casserole is one of my favorite cozy meals. I think that most people are casserole lovers, and when the days get shorter and the weather gets colder- these are the types of dishes I crave. Growing up this was not a dish my …
Guest Post: Love Yourself Into Feeling Your Best
Self-Love and self-care seem to be buzz words right now and for good reason. On a healing journey, self-love and self-care are important pieces to the puzzle in order for full healing to take place. Like exercise and stress management, self-love is another area that I need to work on. Since I myself am not …
AIP Teriyaki Sauce
I don’t know about you but one of the things I miss the most while following the AIP is sauces…especially AIP Teriyaki Sauce. I think it is mostly due to the fact that I can’t just go buy a sauce at the store or have a ready made jar in the fridge. This AIP Teriyaki …
AIP Pesto Sauce
This year my husband and I decided to try our hand at gardening. Surprisingly it has gone quite well. We have a mini greenhouse and a variety of planters on our deck. Currently we have kale, mixed greens, romaine, collard greens, cucumbers, zucchini, broccoli, and a variety of herbs. It was a slow start but …
Shrimp Cauli-Fried Rice
This is my first week of summer vacation and let me just say that I needed this break so badly. The end of the school year brings tons of extra work, high stress and unfortunately less than 8 hours of sleep. On top of that I was experiencing some allergy symptoms- itchy throat and runny …
