How to Detox Your Beauty Routine

We spend a lot of time and money making sure what goes IN our body is high quality and non-deleterious to our autoimmune conditions, energy levels, and sleep quality. What about what goes ON your skin? Skin is not an impermeable barrier protecting our insides from everything we come in contact with, especially the stuff […]

Garlic & Herb Chicken Nuggets (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, 21DSD)

  Chicken nuggets and BBQ Sauce were one of the few junk foods my mom allowed us to eat occasionally when we were tiny tots. Still one of my favorite foods – how worldly and classy of me.   We had another beautfIul weekend in Chicago before sh*t hits the fan and its -30 degrees […]

Moroccan-Spiced Rice [AIP, Vegan, Whole30]

Oh my doodle, I could have probably eaten this whole recipe in one sitting. I snuck a bite of real rice about a  year ago, and I have to say…. no thank you. It’s just plain ol’ starch. Jazz it up with some spices and herbs, maybe a little dash of MSG and eat it […]

Frosted Carrot Cupcakes (Paleo, AIP, Vegan, 21DSD)

  Oh tonight was fun. I was in the middle of working on a recipe for an upcoming E-book (not my own, just helping out), and my pup started acting funny – not wanting to use his back legs to walk and he has been constantly shaking his head for the past 2 days. I […]

Histamine Intolerance: Is it your missing link?

  If you’re reading this article, you’re probably curious if you have histamine intolerance or maybe you’ve been diagnosed by a practitioner and are on a healing protocol to combat this annoying and uncomfortable disorder! I suffered from histamine intolerance for over two years, between 2013 and 2015. Today I am 100% symptom free, and […]

Grilled Steak & Cucumber Noodle Bowl

      Whether you’re on Paleo, AIP or doing a Whole30 or 21dsd, this grilled steak & fresh cucumber noodle bowl will hit the spot! Yazum! This was so fresh and delicious. Yazum is not a foreign language for the word “delIcious” by the way, but the exact sound that exited my mouth when […]

Cranberry Relish Meatballs [AIP Friendly]

These lil’ pups were one of the dishes I took on my trip to Omaha this weekend. We had a second reception so that more family & friends could be included since we had such an intimate wedding. It was a blast to bring my family from Florida to the Midwest for the first time. […]

Plantain Chicken Fritter Clubs (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

  Well, that was a mouthful! I can guarantee these are incredibly flavorful for two reasons. #1 I have been sick this week with a sinus infection and have not been able to taste my food for days, but I could taste these babies, and boy were they good. #2 My husband went bonkers over […]

Why Relaxation Must Be Prioritized on AIP

  I am notorious for getting cabin fever after being inside for 15 minutes. I have just always been someone who likes to be out and about, walking around the city or on the beach, finding new hikes and bike trails, and getting away from noise. I am also extremely sensitive to sound, to the […]

AIP Rustic Apple Cinnamon Rolls (Paleo, Vegan, Sugar-Free)

  I made this recipe awhile back for a guest post, and then I ended up doing another recipe and totally forgot about my cinnamon rolls! Hello!? That is an egregious  mistake to make in the AIP community. This recipe does have a few steps, but it takes me less than 30 minutes to throw […]
