Happy September Everyone! I can’t believe that I have already been back to work for a week. The summer always seems to go by so quickly! For those of you who don’t already know, I am a teacher and after two months off I headed back to work on the 29th of August. I am …
Blueberry Coconut Milk Popsicles
I can’t believe I am already saying this but…summer is almost over. I enjoyed these popsicles all summer long and made a new batch almost every week! I don’t generally eat popsicles in the cooler months so I am going to make one last batch of these this weekend before I tuck this recipe away …
AIP Pantry
Once a year I attempt to re-organize my pantry. Not only to make it look better but also to make it more functional. I am a grade one teacher so I usually do this in the summers when I am not working. I live with my fiancé and he does not follow the autoimmune protocol. …
Garlic & Lemon Broccolini
I don’t know about you, but I have only eaten broccolini a handful of times. In fact most of the time my local grocery stores don’t carry it. This summer though I have seen it pop up in my local Wal-Mart so I thought I would buy it and see if I prefer it to …
My Favourite Facial Sunscreen
Hey guys! If you follow me on Instagram then you probably already know I am a beauty/skin care junkie. Now that I am trying to be mindful of what I put on my body I have had to find new favourites. Let me tell you…it hasn’t been easy. I have very high expectations for products …
Wonton Soup
I know it may seem like a weird time to be making soup but sometimes these cravings come out of nowhere right? I was just thinking the other day that I miss wonton soup. In my SAD days (Standard American Diet) I would have considered this soup to be quite healthy. Obviously from an AIP …
Eating AIP at a Friend or Family Member’s House
First off I want to say that eating at a friend or family member’s house isn’t nearly as stressful as you are anticipating, provided you follow my helpful tips. Take it from me…I avoided going to my parents house for dinner for three months out of fear that I would accidentally ingest something that I …
AIP Friendly Trail Mix
Hey guys! This is a quick recipe I threw together for road trips this summer. Summer has got me missing trail mix. You know the kind with smarties and nuts and raisins and maybe even pretzels! GASP! I know..I shouldn’t be thinking about pretzels but hey.. old habits die hard. So I decided to make my …
Repurposing Left overs
So if you are currently following the autoimmune protocol then you know that left overs are officially your best friend. You do a happy dance when you have enough left overs for more than one meal and you will literally bite anyone’s head off if they eat your left overs. You have even gone so …
Cucumber Garlic Salad
You know those days where you just wish you didn’t have to do anything in the kitchen? Those days where it seems like too much effort to even open the fridge and look for something healthy to eat? This recipe idea is so simple because it came out of one of those days. I didn’t …
Plantain Like Bread
Okay so notice that I called this recipe plantain like bread….rather than just plantain bread. I did this because, well it depends on your definition of bread. To me this is bread…but remember I have been on the autoimmune protocol for over two years and well white fluffy foamy bread is just one of those …
