So it is still Winter…I mean spring is coming in some parts of the world but it’s not here yet where I am. Not even a little bit. If I am being realistic I know that we can get snow up until the end of April so I still have two months or so until …
Scalloped Sweet Potato & Ham Casserole
I really miss creamy dishes. Even though I know my body and dairy are no longer BFF’s, I still long to taste those creamy sauces that go with all the best casseroles. I also miss potatoes, and the closest thing to potatoes are the white sweet potatoes as they have a milder, less sweet flavor …
Ham & Sweet Potato Soup
I have another recipe for you guys today that uses up left overs! This recipe in particular uses up left over ham, but you could also substitute turkey or chicken as well. This is a hearty soup that is good for you and I like having it in my freezer so I can pull it …
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 …
Orange Cranberry Tiger-nut Biscotti
I haven’t had biscotti in probably close to 5 years. What I remember about it was the unique flavors and how good it went with tea or coffee. I wanted to create one more festive baking recipe this year and so after playing around with some ingredients I came up with this recipe for an …
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 …
Pumpkin Hamburger Soup
I love Autumn and everything associated with it: sweaters, boots, blanket scarves, and of course pumpkin. When I was a kid my mom always made a Hamburger Soup. It consisted of ground beef, tomatoes, corn, and macaroni noodles along with some Italian spices. It was always one of my favourite dishes but now that I …
Hearty Lamb Noodle Soup
You know when I was thinking of a title for this recipe I kept hearing “chicken noodle soup” every time I said “lamb noodle soup” so it is my hope that by adding the word Hearty to the title… you will be able to distinguish between the two as this is not a traditional chicken …
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 …
Pumpkin Spice Raisin Muffins (AIP, Paleo)
I am truly enjoying this season, especially with these yummy Pumpkin Spice Raisin Muffins! I know not everyone is a fan but I love pumpkin and the combination of the warm spices really make me love Autumn even more. Autumn is my favorite season even though it is short lived in Northern Canada. I would …
