Parsnip & Pancetta Chowder with Crispy Leeks (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
Today was all about resting, relaxing, and taking care of my body. I’m not very good at relaxing for extended periods of time (30 minutes is good, right?). I thought more than once, “Man, this is boring” and “Ugh, I want to go exercise, it’s been 3 days!” But I knew it’s what I […]
Smoked Clam Linguine (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
February is a month where you can & should show off your new-found or well-seasoned cooking skills for loved ones.

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 […]

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 […]
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, […]
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, […]
Bacon-Wrapped Cinnamon Apples (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
They say everything is better with bacon, but I have to admit I am not a bacon lover. Actually the smell of it cooking in the morning makes me incredibly nauseous! Weird. Word. BUT bacon-wrapped things make me very happy. One of the best restaurants in Chicago is called HB (stands for Home […]
