Happy New Year! I hope that you all had some time to relax and get together with family and friends. Last year I wrote a post about how to make 2017 your best year yet. This year I thought I would switch it up a little and tell you about a program called The Autoimmune …
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 …
Chocolate Caramels (AIP, Paleo)
These Chocolate caramels are the real deal you guys! Nobody will be able to tell that they are dairy or chocolate free. I should caution that these are very sweet and should be eaten in moderation but if you can’t indulge in a little chocolate at Christmas time then when can you? I had to …
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 …

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 …
Double Hot Chocolate (AIP, Paleo)
As most of you know, I am a lover of all things chocolate. Sometimes you can feel left out this time of year with all those fancy holiday drinks being advertised. So I wanted to create a hot chocolate with some extra chocolate flavor that tasted just as good as it looks. In addition to …

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 …

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Canadians! I absolutely love this time of year and I welcome any excuse to get together with my family and friends and share good food.
