Thyme Blueberry Pork Patties

This is a very simple and fast recipe for blueberry pork patties I created years ago and thought it was high time to bring it here to the blog. The stand-out flavor combination of thyme and blueberry is delicious. I never combined fruit and meat before adopting AIP, but now I do it all the time and the flavors always pleasantly surprise me. Whether you ...

Optimize Sleep to Optimize Your Immune System

Just like clockwork, as the sun sets and darkness arrives, certain squads begin their patrol, looking for the enemy and confirming that the perimeter hasn’t been breached. No, this is not a military spy thriller. The clockwork is the ticking of the circadian clock, a rhythm of the sleep-wake cycles regulated by the solar day of 24 hours. The squads are the cells of the ...

Watermelon Radish and Cucumber Salad

I am always looking to change things up when it comes to salads. By this, I mean mixing different types of vegetables together with different herbs and/or dressings.

There is a lot of scary (and frankly, incorrect) information about cookware out there that has caused some confusion. Hopefully this article will arm you with research-based information about each type of cookware material, what use it might be ...

Crispy Lemon Chicken

While this recipe will work amazingly with either boneless chicken breast or thigh, thighs are my favorite, especially here. The starch coating guarantees a juicy and crispy bite even with notoriously dry breast meat though. Succulent chicken aside, the best part of this recipe is the bright and tangy lemon sauce. It’s a sweet and sticky dupe from my favorite pre-AIP Thai places in my ...
