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 …
Lemon Zucchini Bread (AIP, Paleo)
It’s zucchini season and I love using the zucchinis from my own garden in this Paleo AIP Lemon Zucchini Bread. I thought this recipe would be perfect for this time of year, just as Summer is winding down and Autumn is about to begin. I also wanted to use lemons in this recipe because on …
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 …
“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 …
Eating AIP in Italy & Travel Tips
I know this post has literally taken me ages to get up considering I went to Italy in April and it is now the end of July, but it’s finally here! I wanted to start off by saying that for a long time I was worried about travelling while following the autoimmune protocol. During the …
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 …
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (AIP, Paleo)
I have been missing chocolate zucchini cake ever since I started the Autoimmune Protocol. So I have made it my mission to create an AIP friendly version. Today is finally the day! I am pretty pleased with how this recipe has turned out. I decided to make these into muffins so I could eat them …
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 …
