Sweet & Sour Thai Turkey Meatballs (Paleo, AIP)

    Have you cooked with tamarind paste before? It’s pretty new to me, since I bought it when I was cooking my way through Paleo Takeout (which has an amazing AIP modification guide here) by The Domestic Man. I’m almost a year late to the game on that book, but we share the same […]

Parsnip & Pancetta Chowder with Crispy Leeks (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

    Today was all about resting, relaxing, and taking care of my body. I’m not very good at relaxing for extended periods of time (30 minutes is good, right?). I thought more than once, “Man, this is boring” and “Ugh, I want to go exercise, it’s been 3 days!” But I knew it’s what I […]

This recipe was inspired by the latest AIP product to hit my kitchen, and I’ve honestly never been so impressed at the quality of a spice line before! Primal Palate, the Paleo power duo, have recently launched their newest product line of high quality dried spices and herbs. After giving the Everyday AIP Pack a […]

2-Minute Cinnamon Crunch Plantain Chips {Paleo/AIP/Vegan}

A “No Recipe” recipe! I love those! Sometimes you need someone else to tell you to stir three things together to make magic. I’ve been having a year-long love affair with plantain chips. They are the autoimmune girl’s dream snack! Crunchy, delicious, and high in carbs when all you have is protein and nothing else in […]

Orange Cream Healing Smoothie (Paleo, AIP)

    The question I get asked the most about the autoimmune protocol is, “What do I eat for breakfast!?” Inevitably, my answer is always bacon and leftovers from dinner. There’s a fifty percent chance the questioner will frown at me with that answer. Some of us just don’t like leftovers in the morning. My […]

Instant Pot Maple Bacon Balsamic Pulled Pork (Paleo, AIP)

  I made a big, well big to me, announcement on social media yesterday! If you’ve been following G&E from its inception in 2014, you’ll have noticed I have written a few articles on fertility (or infertility as was my case) with autoimmune disease. I struggled with this issue for my entire 20’s (I’ll be […]

My Top 7 Natural Constipation Remedies

Tens of millions of American adults suffer from chronic constipation, which is defined as a reduction in bowel movement frequency, releasing less than 3 stools per week, or the release of painful, hard to pass, dry, and lumpy stool. That means when you’re in a room of 100 people, up to 10 of those people […]

Smoked Clam Linguine (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

    February is a month where you can & should show off your new-found or well-seasoned cooking skills for loved ones. Complex flavors, creamy pasta, AND a nutrient-dense outcome may seem like the enigma of the  paleo autoimmune protocol, but I have solved that puzzle for you!     Check out my Smoked Clam […]

Meatballs in Sticky Peach Sauce (Paleo, AIP)

    January’s recipe contribution for my monthly post over at Autoimmune Paleo is going to take you right outta the winter blues! Meatballs made from ground beef and pork and mixed with savory herbs and naturally sweet no-sugar-added peach preserves then caramelized in a homemade sticky sauce sweetened only with a few dates!? Sign […]

Paleo Vaca Frita (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

    Cuban food is up there for me for some of my favorite flavors. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Florida, or maybe it’s because they love their meat and rice just like I do. Either way I couldn’t wait to take my husband to my hometown’s best Cuban restaurant which is only […]
