Bistro Chicken Salad with Garlic-Thyme Vinaigrette (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
It’s finally salad season! Salads don’t go out of season in my house, but then again I spent the winter in Texas where I had little excuse to avoid a light and refreshing meal. Although I eat soup at all times of the year, so why do we think salads are only for […]
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 […]
Nightshade-Free Buffalo Chicken Skillet (Paleo, AIP)
As an autoimmune protocol recipe developer, you have to have a really innate understanding of flavor. How do you get spicy without peppers? How do you get umami without soy sauce? How do you get sweet without the overuse of honey and syrups? A lot of the time I hear of people getting […]
Roast Chicken with Lebanese Stuffing (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
I was crossing my fingers that I would nail this recipe on the first attempt and I did. I think because I have such an emotional connection to this meal from childhood, my limbic system was able to guide my cooking intuition. I explained on Instagram recently that my family didn’t do traditional Thanksgiving turkey […]
Garlic & Herb Chicken Nuggets (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, 21DSD)
Chicken nuggets and BBQ Sauce were one of the few junk foods my mom allowed us to eat occasionally when we were tiny tots. Still one of my favorite foods – how worldly and classy of me. We had another beautfIul weekend in Chicago before sh*t hits the fan and its -30 degrees […]
Cranberry Relish Meatballs [AIP Friendly]
These lil’ pups were one of the dishes I took on my trip to Omaha this weekend. We had a second reception so that more family & friends could be included since we had such an intimate wedding. It was a blast to bring my family from Florida to the Midwest for the first time. […]
Plantain Chicken Fritter Clubs (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
Well, that was a mouthful! I can guarantee these are incredibly flavorful for two reasons. #1 I have been sick this week with a sinus infection and have not been able to taste my food for days, but I could taste these babies, and boy were they good. #2 My husband went bonkers over […]
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 […]
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 […]
