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 […]

Pumpkin Roll | Cinnamon Molasses Spread [AIP/Vegan]

I can only think of one thing that American women like more than pumpkin – Channing Tatum’s bum. It’s sort of shaped like a pumpkin, so I guess this makes sense. This was a fun recipe to make, and it may look intimidating because of the siwrly bits and roll-y part, but if I can […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Cinnamon-Apple Quick Braised Pork (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

I  am a sucker for slow-roasted meats, but with pork that drastically increases the histamine levels, which isn’t so hot for me. Quick-braising a pork shoulder only takes 1 hour (versus 5 or 6 in the oven), so you don’t have to stay home all day waiting for your dang meat shoulder to cook. It’s […]
