Crunch Bar Freezer Fudge (Paleo, Vegan)

    I am more than just a little obsessed with this freezer fudge. It never lasts me more than 24 hours. I don’t suggest eating the whole batch in that short of a time frame, but I also will not judge you if you do. I despise baking (that’s why a lot of my […]

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 […]

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 […]

Bacon-Wrapped Cinnamon Apples (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

Shrimp Ceviche Salad (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

    My newest guest post recipe on Autoimmune Paleo is a triple threat: simple to prepare, nutritious, and refreshing enough for a hot summer day. I envision myself lounging around on the pool deck in mid-July after a long day playing in the ocean, kicking back with a fizzy Kombucha, ceviche, and some plantain […]

Italian Sausage Pizza (Paleo, AIP)

      Italian Sausage Pizza made with homemade, nightshade-free sausage and sauce + an extra-extra dose of veggies… your family will love this grain-free, dairy-free pizza!   I love a recipe where you can still get your meat and veggies but its a big enough departure from your typical daily meals that it feels […]

Bacon-Date Crusted Salmon (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

    You don’t see bacon and salmon together frequently in recipes, but I’m here to say that is a culinary mistake. Flaky salmon takes on a sweet, smokey flavor when crusted with chopped bacon, herbs, and a little lemon to round things out. This is a recipe easy enough to whip up on a […]
