Citrus Braised Lamb

As much as I love beef, sometimes I get a hankering for red meat with a little more flavor, and lamb almost always does the trick. While a lot of people are used to lamb chops and leg of lamb, I have fallen in love with braising lamb shoulder. This method produces some delicious vegetables, as well as a fantastic liquid that can be reduced into ...

Middle Eastern Glazed Chicken

  If you visit Grazed and Enthused, you will find a variety of Middle Eastern-inspired AIP recipes like my AIP Hummus, Beef Shawarma, Lebanese Chicken & Stuffing, and Lamb with Olive Tapenade Rice. These are the dishes I grew up devouring, and craving as a youngster. Our limbic systems, the emotional memory center of the brain, drive us to food reminiscent of family gatherings and ...

Breaking the Cycle of Food Cravings: Why Are We Drawn to Foods That Harm Us?

One cornerstone of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is determining which foods cause adverse reactions, whether they’re in the digestive system, joints, skin, or other organs. Each of us can pinpoint at least one food — typically more — that leaves us feeling icky. But knowing which foods we react to doesn’t necessarily make it easy to give them up. While consuming them results in unpleasant ...

Roasted Vegetables with a Salsa Verde

  I love roasted vegetables. They taste so scrumptious and what’s more, they pretty much look after themselves in the oven, leaving you to concentrate on other things. This recipe is a good assortment of colours, textures and flavors but the real beauty is that it can also be completely dependent on seasonal availability, or what you have in your food store. For the veggies ...

Crispy Dill Fried Fish

  You know what I like? I like pub food. Wings, pulled pork sandwiches, cheese fries, fish and chips…that sort of thing. Now, I’m not going to be eating most of that any time soon…or ever again in some cases. BTW, I’m a Celiac, can I even be in a pub? Is the air cross-contaminated? I sorta feel like there should be a 500 yard ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – March 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 ...

Rosemary and Garlic Beef Liver Appetizer

In a recent article about nutrient density, Mickey emphasized the importance of adding nutrient-dense foods to your healing diet. These foods, and all the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients they contain, are absolutely necessary to repair and heal your body from the damages caused by autoimmune diseases. Some examples of nutrient-dense foods are bone broth, fermented vegetables, fatty fish, shellfish, and offal. While most of these are ...
