AIP Toasted Coconut "Egg"-Nog (Paleo/Vegan)
I love beverages that don’t include the word water unless the words “sparkling mineral” precede it. I drink water all day long – over 100 ounces a day because I’m a thirsty turtle (that’s what I call my dog when he goes nutso drinking water). I have to leave him for 5 days tomorrow and […]
AIP Red Sangria from The Healing Kitchen
I don’t know about you guys, but my family likes to indulge in festive beverages around this time of the year. I mean sangria can be enjoyed year-round, and my sister and mom have really taken to their “wine spritzers” in order to control both alcohol and caloric consumption (we secretly call them […]
AIP Maple Caramel Chews & Maple Caramel Fudge
Chewy soft dairy-free caramels with just a few ingredients!? Try these AIP, Paleo and Vegan Caramel Chews next time you’re craving this classic! I have been craving Sucre a La Creme lately but it is incredibly difficult to achieve it’s texture without butter, white sugar, and real cream. Instead, I decided to make […]
Roasted Butternut, Pomegranate & Arugula Salad (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, Vegan)
Well the holidays are coming to a close. It’s always a weird feeling when your year comes to an end. The reflection that takes place is generally motivating or a bit depressing. At the end of 2012, I said I had the worst year of my life. Both my grandmothers passed away within two weeks […]
Butternut Rice with Beef and Nut-Free Basil Pesto (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
This Beef and Butternut Rice with Basil Pesto is an interesting twist on grain-free pesto and rice. Shredded butternut makes for a low-carb option for traditional rice and when paired with a delicious dairy-free pesto, you’re going to look forward to leftovers! Paleo, Whole30 and AIP! I’m always looking for easy one-bowl weeknight […]
Creamed Mushrooms, Potatoes and Smoked Turkey (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
Probably one of the hardest tasks when cooking for the autoimmune protocol is coming up with different flavor profiles and textures. Without a load of spices and kitchen staples, it can feel pretty limiting at times when you only have meat, seafood, veggies, and fruit to work with! After almost two years cooking […]

Grain-free, Dairy-free Paleo & AIP-Friendly cheesecake with a graham cracker crust! My latest guest post for Autoimmune-Paleo is for this truly delicious Sweet Potato Pie Cheesecake that will be an addition you certainly want for your holiday dessert table. My husband who is a sugar-fiend and only likes the most decadent treats said […]
Spiced Lamb with Caramelized Cabbage, Figs & Cranberries (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
Even with the boom of American food culture in the past decade (thank you Buzzfeed, Yelp, Instagram, and Food Network), lamb still does not hold a place in our country’s heart like it should. I could pull a Jimmy Fallon and ask 100 random people on the street if they have ever eaten lamb, […]
Coconut-Crusted Chicken Tenders with Pineapple Dipping Sauce from The Healing Kitchen {Paleo/AIP}
One of my favorite recipes in the book because it makes you feel like an adult-sized kid! Chicken tenders are fun to eat at any age, but when you get to dip them in a sweet and tangy sauce like my Pinepple Dipping Sauce, you’ll be on the phone ordering a bounce house […]
BBQ Pulled Pork from The Healing Kitchen {Paleo/AIP}
When creating recipes for The Healing Kitchen, I wanted them to be accessible and budget-friendly but still creative, comforting, and palate-opening. Of course I put my favorite method for roasting a chicken in the book (it’s definitely one of my home cook “insider” tips) because there’s going to be people who grab the book off […]
