Happy almost Easter and Happy Spring! This week I am headed to Nashville for Spring Break to visit my sister so I have been busy packing and prepping for my upcoming trip. Since I will be in Nashville for Easter I am not sure what I will be eating for Easter dinner yet but I …
Cinnamon Coconut Raisin Cookies
This is the perfect weekday cookie…if there is such a thing. These remind me of an oatmeal raisin cookie sans oatmeal of course. They are crunchy but chewy and are flavored with cinnamon, coconut and raisins. I feel like these cookies are really easy to throw together and would be perfect for a weekday treat. …
AIP Chocolate Chip Cookies
After 4 months of trial and error I have finally created the world’s best AIP Chocolate Chip Cookies. Yes, I am just going to go ahead and declare the title on this one and once you try this recipe, you are going to agree with me. I have been testing this recipe since November and …
Oven-Roasted Plantains
Life can be busy… so busy that basic things like cooking can fall by the way side. Many people assume that because you follow a healing diet such as the Autoimmune Protocol, then you must spend all of your time in the kitchen. There is some truth to that statement but I am always looking …
Scalloped Sweet Potato & Ham Casserole
I really miss creamy dishes. Even though I know my body and dairy are no longer BFF’s, I still long to taste those creamy sauces that go with all the best casseroles. I also miss potatoes, and the closest thing to potatoes are the white sweet potatoes as they have a milder, less sweet flavor …
Ham & Sweet Potato Soup
I have another recipe for you guys today that uses up left overs! This recipe in particular uses up left over ham, but you could also substitute turkey or chicken as well. This is a hearty soup that is good for you and I like having it in my freezer so I can pull it …
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 …
Holiday Bars (AIP, Paleo)
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… everywhere you look! I am so excited to start off December with my first holiday recipe! I use to make a version of these holiday bars in my pre-AIP days and I absolutely loved them. I wanted to try and create something similar and so this recipe …
Herb Roasted Duck
It is officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited. Outside it looks like a winter wonderland and I am patiently waiting for a free weekend so that I can get going on my Christmas baking! When I think of a holiday meal my mind instinctively goes to turkey but this year I …
