Instant Pot Maple Bacon Balsamic Pulled Pork (Paleo, AIP)

I made a big, well big to me, announcement on social media yesterday! If you’ve been following G&E from its inception in 2014, you’ll have noticed I have written a few articles on fertility (or infertility as was my case) with autoimmune disease. I struggled with this issue for my entire 20’s (I’ll be […]
Meatballs in Sticky Peach Sauce (Paleo, AIP)

January’s recipe contribution for my monthly post over at Autoimmune Paleo is going to take you right outta the winter blues! Meatballs made from ground beef and pork and mixed with savory herbs and naturally sweet no-sugar-added peach preserves then caramelized in a homemade sticky sauce sweetened only with a few dates!? Sign […]
Paleo Vaca Frita (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

Cuban food is up there for me for some of my favorite flavors. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Florida, or maybe it’s because they love their meat and rice just like I do. Either way I couldn’t wait to take my husband to my hometown’s best Cuban restaurant which is only […]
AIP Red Sangria from The Healing Kitchen

I don’t know about you guys, but my family likes to indulge in festive beverages around this time of the year. I mean sangria can be enjoyed year-round, and my sister and mom have really taken to their “wine spritzers” in order to control both alcohol and caloric consumption (we secretly call them […]
AIP Maple Caramel Chews & Maple Caramel Fudge

Chewy soft dairy-free caramels with just a few ingredients!? Try these AIP, Paleo and Vegan Caramel Chews next time you’re craving this classic! I have been craving Sucre a La Creme lately but it is incredibly difficult to achieve it’s texture without butter, white sugar, and real cream. Instead, I decided to make […]
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 […]
Butternut Rice with Beef and Nut-Free Basil Pesto (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

This Beef and Butternut Rice with Basil Pesto is an interesting twist on grain-free pesto and rice. Shredded butternut makes for a low-carb option for traditional rice and when paired with a delicious dairy-free pesto, you’re going to look forward to leftovers! Paleo, Whole30 and AIP! I’m always looking for easy one-bowl weeknight […]
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 […]
BBQ Pulled Pork from The Healing Kitchen {Paleo/AIP}

When creating recipes for The Healing Kitchen, I wanted them to be accessible and budget-friendly but still creative, comforting, and palate-opening. Of course I put my favorite method for roasting a chicken in the book (it’s definitely one of my home cook “insider” tips) because there’s going to be people who grab the book off […]
Honey Chicken Dippers (Paleo, AIP)

Yay for yummy, easy dinners that will please all palates involved! Lately I haven’t been in the mood to make two dinners for us, one AIP for me and one Paleo for my husband. Instead, the dude eats what I can eat or he goes to bed hungry. New house rule. Abide or die. […]
