Hawaiian Salmon

  You know what I used to love in my former life? Hawaiian pizza. One of my high school jobs was working in a pizza place and eating the heck out of some Hawaiian pizza was one of my main duties. Okay, obviously not part of my actual job description, but I put the hurt on that pizza like it was an assigned task. Several ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – July 2015

  AIP Kitchen tour is a monthly feature where we profile someone who eats AIP and has agreed to share their kitchen setup with the community, in hopes that they can further inspire us to get our kitchens organized and set up for success! We’ve heard reports of people who are able to make AIP work in college dorms and small city apartments to large ...

Spice Baked Chicken with Black Olives, Orange and Thyme

  No matter the season, nor the temperature, to my mind there is always a place for roast chicken and this recipe is no exception. Just a few short moments of attention and a quick dusting of spice results in a more than satisfactory combination of chestnut-crispy skin, together with a flesh succulent and tender over a pool of fruit-scented juice. You only need add a bowl ...

Berry-Infused Thai Drinking Vinegar

  I discovered Thai Drinking Vinegar during Paleo F(x) this year when I visited a highly-rated Thai restaurant near the convention center. Not only is it served alongside the meal to aid with digestion, it’s also delicious! It’s similar to kombucha in flavor, but not nearly as pungent, and it makes a wonderful summer “mocktail” with sweet, tart flavors and fizz from the sparkling water. ...

Orange & Rose Honey Cake

  I have yet to post a sweet recipe during my six months of contributing recipes to Autoimmune Paleo, but I felt like I owed you one from my past! Growing up, my treat consumption was mostly limited to Middle Eastern desserts like Ma’amoul (date-filled cookies), Baklawa (flaky, nutty, syrupy pastry), and dried Medjool dates stuffed with pistachios. Most Arabic treats are flavored with honey ...

Stocking The AIP Pantry

  For those of you who are just starting your transition to the Autoimmune Protocol, I thought I’d do a guide to which ingredients you should look into stocking in your AIP pantry. Step #1: Get rid of all of the “bad stuff” The first thing you should do is box up all of the foods you are unlikely to be eating again any time ...
