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, […]
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 […]
Triple Meat Poutine [AIP-Friendly]
Okay, so between this recipe and my one for Beaver Tails/”Queues de castor”, I am taking you all on a Paleo journey of my birth city, Montreal. Now these are no replacement for the real thing. Traditional poutine is fairly soggy, salty, and drenched in MSG-laden gravy and cheese curds, but we can all imagine […]
AIP Pita Bread (Paleo, Grain-free)
I teased this recipe for AIP Pita Bread on Instagram a couple weeks ago and finally had the chance to make it again! I am a huge fan of the pliability, texture, and taste of the final product! My husband says it tastes like vegetables (UH because it’s made from vegetables, Honey!!!) but I know […]
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 […]
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 […]
