Welcome to November lovelies! Normally I wouldn’t be overly excited that it is November because that means winter is right around the corner, but I am trying to be positive this year. It is much harder to be positive, but you always feel better when you are. So here are the reasons why I am …
Hot Apple Cider (AIP)
The other day I was out with some friends and one of them ordered a hot apple cider. I was suddenly reminded how much I use to enjoy hot apple cider this time of year. So I decided to do some research on how apple cider was made and was ecstatic to learn it is …
AIP No Bake Cookies
So if you have been reading my posts for awhile then you know that following the autoimmune protocol is a lot of work. Work that is well worth it when it drastically improves your health and well being. That being said, we are all busy these days and sometimes we just want convenience. I have …
Roast Chicken Soup
You know what time of year it is??? It’s the season for soups! Autumn is by far my favourite season and where I live it is unfortunately a short one. So I extend my season of soups into Winter as well. I can’t believe it is the end of September already. Next week I will …
Chicken Meatballs
This recipe is one I like to make when I have to travel. It is quick and easy to make, a good source of protein, and travels well, provided you can keep them in a cooler. They also freeze well and make a great appetizer or snack. You could use ground turkey instead of ground …
How I Meal Prep/Batch Cook for work
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 …
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 …
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 …
