Peach-Glazed Mini Meatloaves (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

  I get real excited when I come up with an easy, quick recipe that uses barely any ingredients and is a new, interesting flavor! It’s the holy grail of AIP batch cooking. I brought these on-the-go this weekend – to a show and then also as a pre-5k breakfast. I didn’t want to share […]

Flaked Cod | Cucumber-Mint Sauce | Plum Relish (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

I can FINALLY eat fish again after 7 months of abstaining from one of my favorite foods. My histamine intolerance got wicked ridiculous during the holidays, and I went on a very low histamine diet from January through July of this year. Fish is always a hairy situation because you really have to trust your […]

AIP Fish Sticks made with sweet potato chips!

  Fish sticks coated in sweet potato chips which makes them grain & egg-free!   I think every adult wishes they were still a child. I certainly long for the summers that seemed endless, sticky, and deliciously peppered with family BBQs, birthday parties, and post-soccer game orange slices.   When you’re a kid, you appreciate […]

Fit Fat Bombs (Paleo, AIP, Vegan, No Sugar Added)

    Three-ingredient Paleo fat bombs to help fuel your workouts!   I had a kick-ass workout after I ate two of these Fat Bombs the other day. There’s a societal rule that you can only say kick-ass in 2014 if you were born in the 80’s right? I need pre-workout snacks if I do weight-training […]

Beef Shawarma (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

  I got married this weekend! It doesn’t feel different from just living with your fiance. As my friend Caitlin puts it “now you can just do your taxes together.” Hopefully I’ll score some spousal health insurance too. The wedding ended up being absolutely perfect, but we did have some pre-wedding scares. I’ll be doing […]

AIP Chicken n’ Gravy (Paleo, Whole30)

This AIP Chicken and Gravy is a nutrient dense take on classic comfort food. The gravy is made with white sweet potatoes, herbs, bacon and broth! It’s Paleo, Whole30, gluten free and dairy free too. I am so not a comfort food girl, but dang do I like me some gravy. Well, AIP gravy. I […]

Paleo BBQ Chicken Nachos (Nightshade-free, AIP)

  Craving Paleo nachos? This grain-free version uses sweet potato chips & has two options for nightshade-free homemade BBQ sauce!   Most women probably don’t eat a plate of nachos two weeks prior to their wedding, but I did. Why? Because they’re freakin’ made of fruits & vegetables.   If you haven’t gotten your paws […]

No-Bake Blueberry Pie Energy Bites (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)

    I enjoyed these before my muscle party last night… They fueled me for 35 handstand pushups, PR chest press, 500 m row sprints, forearm stand practice, and 40 lb kettlebell swings (100 in good form!)   We are doing a 30-mile ride to Hyde Park along Lake Michigan today, and I really wish […]

Lebanese Pork Hand-Pie (Paleo, AIP)

These Paleo AIP Lebanese Pork Hand-Pies contain all of the tastes of my heritage while still keeping true to the Auto Immune Protocol; best of both worlds!   God my dog is good-looking. He seriously stops strangers in their tracks during rush hour in Chicago. Rafael makes 54-year-old buttoned up CEOs late on a daily […]

BBQ Chicken Pizza (Paleo, AIP)

This paleo AIP BBQ chicken pizza recipe was one of the first “meatzas” I made when I started AIP. Following a Paleo diet prior to AIP, I would occasionally order gluten-free pizzas on the weekend, but they were never good and the flavor was a mix between cardboard and tomato-flavored straw. This paleo AIP BBQ […]
