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

Repurposing Left overs
So if you are currently following the autoimmune protocol then you know that left overs are officially your best friend. You do a happy dance when you have enough left overs for more than one meal and you will literally bite anyone’s head off if they eat your left overs. You have even gone so …
Making DIY Natural Cleaning Products
When I first embarked on my health journey it was all about making changes to what I was putting in my body, in terms of foods. I didn’t think about skin care, makeup, or cleaning products. Now that I have been on this journey a short while…I can see that making a commitment to your …
Carob Whipped Mousse (AIP, Paleo)
I have to admit that after being on the autoimmune protocol for over two years I have days where I don’t want to cook. Shocker! Yes it does get easier because it becomes a habit and you feel better… but hey we are all human and sometimes you just wish there were a box of …
