Sweetener-Free & Dairy-Free Banana Ice Cream (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
I’ve been all up in my new ice cream maker‘s face for the past month since I got it for my birthday. It is SO COOL. I make ice cream for everyone that comes over and make them watch it churn with me. It’s very mesmerizing and also doubles as a white noise […]
Olive Pesto Meatza (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, 21dsd)
I was out to dinner the other night after seeing Trainwreck, and I was forced (well, that’s dramatic) to watch others eat delicious chewy pizza from Eataly. That’s a ginormous Italian food market in Chicago that has a bunch of different restaurants, meat, cheese, produce, and oils/vinegars. I bought fresh basil, prosciutto, fresh figs, […]
Orange-Carob Bliss Balls
You can add a couple scoops of collagen protein to these Paleo & AIP-friendly energy balls! I was a-hankerin’ for some orange-chocolate flavored something last week while I was working on my cookbook The Healing Kitchen. For someone who is creating several recipes a day, you would think I’d have a fridge […]
A Serious & Honest Look at Why Periods are So Important for Health
Periods… I’ve always wondered why they are called that. They aren’t the “end” of something. Menstruation should be a never-ending cycle until we start winding down our reproductive capabilities in our 4th and 5th decade of life. But why are more and more women in their teens, twenties, and thirties going to their doctors with […]
Paleo Apple Pie & Apple Pie Ice Cream! (Paleo/Vegan)
Once I developed this apple pie recipe, I debated back and forth on whether or not to put it on the blog. It’s very delicious, and as an apple pie lover myself, it definitely satisfied my childhood memories of the treat my father used to bring home for us when my mom wasn’t looking! […]
Lox & "Everything" Sweet Potatoes (Paleo, AIP)
It’s not often I am really proud of myself for my recipe creativity. It’s not that I’m uncreative, but I have been cooking for myself for so many years, that it’s take a lot to really make me feel that way! This recipe was born out of a craving one morning for a NY […]
How to Conquer Leaky Gut
Autoimmune disease and leaky gut are such esoteric and intangible concepts. A diagnosis of either (usually both) of these can make your head spin like the teacup ride at your town fair. Know this: if you have/suspect autoimmunity, you must address your digestive health as the majority of your immune system is located in […]
Cinnamon Plantain Fritters (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)
Cinnamon Plantain Fritters cook up in 15 minutes + make your gluten-free breakfast a breeze! I’m a little disappointed in myself – I’m willingly watching a reality show about WWE girls called Total Divas. It just happened to be on when I turned the TV on and the remote is just a foot […]
Top 10 Austin Paleo Guide
This was my third trip to Austin which has been named the Paleo Mecca of America (I unofficially made that up) as the host of the annual PaleoF(x) convention each April. The other two trip were for the Ironman Triathalon here in October – one of which I worked and the other which I watched a […]
My 10 Best AIP Recipes (Paleo/AIP)
10. Avocado Carob Fudge Bars A LOT of you guys have made these unique bars and I usually get the same comment, “They look so good, but they sound so weird [goes and makes bars] OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD. HIDE ME.” These three layer bars get a lot of lip service from us and […]
