AIP Holiday Gift Guide!

Sometimes the holidays can bring up some of the tougher aspects of dietary transition–like having to talk to your extended family about your health, or partaking in food-centered celebrations. If your family celebrates the season with gift-giving, however, it can be a good opportunity for you to request items that support your healing journey. I’ve put together a list of my favorite ideas, from big, more ...

Egg-less Nog!

  When I was growing up, my best friend’s parents, who lived across the road from me, always had a New Year’s Day party. I remember it as a boring afternoon in my teenage eyes, but nonetheless I would show my face and help my friend hand out a few nibbles and serve a few drinks. One of those was eggnog. Then, later in the ...

Holiday Stuffed Mushroom Appetizer

  If you’re looking for a yummy appetizer to add to your menus over the coming holiday season, I’ve got one for you! I love stuffed mushrooms for their elegant look. They are relatively easy to prepare, but they look super fancy-pants when set out for guests. You’ve probably noticed that theme in my recipes over the last year. I’m a big fan of creating ...

Cranberry-Glazed Chicken

  These are absolutely gorgeous. Who doesn’t love the combination of cranberry and poultry this time of year? With a bit of mint thrown in, this glaze provides not only a riot of flavors but a beautiful holiday color scheme. You can make this with just about any cut of any bird, though cooking times will vary depending on how big your cuts are. Serve ...

Sweet Potato Pie Cheesecake

  Oh, November! One of my favorite months of the year. The start of the impending holiday season. The invigorating, joy-inducing crisp in the air. All the nostalgia of childhood wrapped up in a giant two-month package. Okay, I’ll stop being so gooey now and start talking about pie-cheesecake hybrids. I don’t know who came up with combining a comforting holiday pie into another American classic ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – October 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 households ...

Sautéed Chicken Livers with Riced Cauliflower, Collards and Herbs

This is the kind of recipe that has no real formula. The question to ask is how much do you love your herbs? Personally, I can’t get enough of them, so much so that my fridge contains at least two large packed jugs at any one time. Cooked or raw, I include herbs in every meal and never in proportions any less than generous. It is worth ...

Pumpkin Spice Granola

  Fall can bring nostalgia to even those who live in season-less environments. I grew up in a small beach town in Central Florida, and I can count on one hand the number of times it dipped below 80 degrees on Christmas Day. And Halloween? Even warmer! Yes, wearing a homemade felt frog costume was just as suffocating as it sounds. But those few weeks sprinkled throughout ...
