AIP Instant Breakfast Cereal (and it’s really, really delicious!)
Breakfast! How did you grow up enjoying this meal? We mostly had breakfast cereal because mornings were rushed, and I have to say my twin sister and I were moderately obsessed with cereal up until our early twenties. I remember one time in college we both couldn’t sleep and we walked into the kitchen […]
Our Tongue Tie Revision Story
I had a reader ask me to discuss tongue and lip ties on the blog. Because I’m not a pediatric dentist or lactation consultant, I would rather share our story with tongue tie and how we got it revised. It’s highly important to educate yourself about the signs of tongue and lip tie prior […]
AIP "Chocolate" Fudge – Two Ways! (AIP/Low-Sugar)
My husband and I celebrated Valentine’s early this year. We were supposed to go to one of my good childhood friend’s wedding, but Grace decided that this weekend was a mighty fine time to cut her first tooth. On Friday evening, she was screaming at the top of her lungs and I couldn’t figure out why. […]
Dairy-Free Mushroom Risotto (made in your Instant Pot!) – Paleo, AIP, 21dsd, Whole30
Dairy-free Risotto made in your Instant Pot = the most hands-off risotto recipe you’ve ever tried! Is there a sexier food word than risotto? Maybe creme fraiche (really drawing out the shhhhh at the end). Has anyone seen that South Park episode? I’m not even going to go there. I have only made true brothy, […]

Caviar for Babies!? (O)mega Nutrition + Pincer Grasp Practice Using Fish Eggs
Fish eggs for babies?! “Is that a joke?” you may be asking. I don’t blame you. It does not sound a little odd, a little outlandish. They may sound like a delicacy reserved for the British elite and fancy sushi rolls, but caviar is actually a very accessible and incredibly nutritious baby food option. […]
Instant Pot Pineapple Chicken (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
My Instant Pot rescued me AGAIN last night. I made some last minute plans and had 45 minutes to prep and serve dinner before I had to leave. I wanted to do a take on my Hawaiian Pork from The Healing Kitchen using the organic chicken breast I had on hand. I’ve been craving […]
Beef & Mushroom Carbonara (Paleo/AIP)
I’m a lover of meat sauces. My mom used to make a big pot of her meat sauce every few weeks when we were kids, and the smell of it simmering all day got me so excited for dinnertime! Of course then we served it with boiled pasta, and in my well-informed years of […]
What the F is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)?
I couldn’t resist titling this article “What the F is EFT?” I can’t tell you how many people have asked me this very same question when I started talking about my experiences with the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) last year. And I said the same thing when I first heard of this interesting […]
