Lamb with Olive Tapenade Rice (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

If you like olives, make this tonight. If you don’t like olives, we cannot be friends in real life. Fine. Yes, we can. We just can’t be the type of friends that sit around on a Thursday night throwing olives into each other’s mouths from across the living room. You know what I’m tired of […]

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 […]

Bacon & Kale Breakfast Skillet (Paleo, AIP, 21DSD, Whole30)

    I know I joke about being an 85 year old stuck in a 26 year old body,  but I think I’ve taken it too far. We are home on a Friday night surrounded in pillows watching Dateline reruns with ice water. Party.   You know what’s more fun than watching TV on Friday […]

Garlic-Dill Parsnip Fries (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, Vegan)

    Wooh! This weekend was a friggin’ blast. My twin sis got married to the perfect man, and I got to laugh, cry, and dance my way through the whole thing by her side. This was actually my first time being “in” a wedding as my friends tend to be the I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T type. I […]

Plantain Chips & Avocado Dip [AIP/Whole30/Paleo]

I was deadset on some pseudo-Mexican food tonight, so I combined all remotely Mexican-y ingredients in my kitchen for this bomb meal. The shredded pork is Nom Nom Paleo’s famous recipe for Kalua Pig made in my Instant Pot. Best investment I have ever made for my kitchen by the way. It makes batch cooking so […]

Garlic Fried Chicken Livers (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, 21dsd)

    Chicken livers are my favorite organ meat because they are the most mild and versatile. Beef liver, even when hidden in bacon, mushrooms, and herbs, still is undoable for me. And I’ve had it a lot. It just never gets any better. Maybe my taste buds will change soon for it.   I’m […]

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 […]

AIP Garlic Butter (Paleo, Vegan)

  I didn’t know I missed garlic butter until I tasted AIP garlic butter. My mother (aka Mommy and Moo-Moo… yes Moo-Moo) used to stir fresh crushed garlic into tubs of butter when I was growing up, and we would slather it all over toast with a giant salad as the main course. There’s a […]

AIP Hummus (Paleo, Whole30, Vegan)

I freakin’ love hummus. It hurts so bad. You know that lame quote “If you love something let it go, if it comes back to you…”  That’s how I feel about eating AIP Hummus. Sorry, if you used that quotation on your MySpace in 2004; I don’t mean to offend. Internet memes are the new […]

Anti-Inflammatory Meatballs (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, 21DSD)

  AIP is inherently an anti-inflammatory diet, so the title of this recipe is like describing a banana to someone who has never eaten one as “banana-y”. These ‘balls are especially designed for people with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s, and colitis. Just so happens they taste fantastic.   I wanted to support my […]
