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 …
My Favorite AIP Batch Cooking Recipes (August 2017)
If you are new to the autoimmune protocol then you may be wondering what batch cooking is and why I am writing about it. On the other hand if you have been in the AIP community for awhile then you have probably heard the term “Batch Cooking” numerous times. Batch cooking is simply making your …
“Chocolate” Banana Bread (AIP, Paleo)
I know you guys really enjoyed my Chocolate zucchini muffins awhile back and I did too. This past weekend I was craving some banana bread but everything is better with chocolate or carob if you are following the AIP like me. So I thought I would incorporate some more “chocolate” into a recipe. You can …
Prosciutto & Basil Linguine Alfredo
“OMG there is no way that this Prosciutto and Basil Linguine Alfredo pasta is AIP friendly!” That’s what you are going to be saying once you try this recipe. I started my AIP journey just over three years ago and this is literally the best thing I have eaten so far. I suppose that comes …
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 …
AIP Creamy Beef & Cauli Rice Casserole
If you’re in need of a quick, easy, and hot weeknight meal, my AIP Creamy Beef & Cauli Rice Casserole has got your back! I thought it was about time for a new recipe but to be honest I have been so busy with the end of the school year nearing (life of a teacher) …
Chocolate Banana Smoothie
I truly believe you can never have too many smoothie recipes in your arsenal. I have my favourites of course but every now and again it’s nice to switch it up and try something different. When The Paleo Mom aka Dr. Sarah Ballantyne partnered up with Vital Proteins to make an AIP friendly Collagen Veggie …
Mediterranean Pasta
Let me start off by saying that pasta and pizza are probably the foods I miss the most. Perhaps I was Italian in another life. Obviously there are AIP versions of both of these dishes but still I miss the originals from time to time. After travelling to Italy on my honeymoon I was inspired …
Easy AIP Brownies
I don’t know about you but I am a lover of AIP brownies. I always choose chocolate over vanilla no matter what the circumstance is. My mom is a really good cook but she is an even better baker (including brownies). She baked something for our lunches every week growing up. Old habits die hard …
Review: Simple French Paleo Cookbook (A Squirrel In The Kitchen)
Have you ever wanted to travel to France but wondered what you would eat while following the AIP? Or perhaps you are missing your favourite French dishes now that you are following the autoimmune protocol. Well now you no longer have to wonder or miss out because Sophie from A Squirrel in the Kitchen has …
Easter Menu 2017
Normally at Easter, my family and I have a traditional Easter meal. We have turkey or ham with scalloped potatoes, perogies and all the fixings. This year my husband and I are going to Italy for our honeymoon and it so happens that we will be in Italy over Easter. I will have access to …
AIP Eat-More Bars
Today I have a special recipe for you. This recipe will remind you of your pre-AIP days because you are going to feel as if you are eating a Hershey Eat-More chocolate bar! Growing up this was one of my favourite chocolate bars. I loved them so much that my mom developed a recipe to …
