The AIP Marathon

When I found the Autoimmune Protocol, I thought it would go something like this: Day One- Learn everything about AIP. Day Two- Implement AIP diet flawlessly; including growing my own garden, getting backyard chickens complete with their own adorable hen house like the ones you see on those lifestyle blogs, and dropping a grand a piece between Whole Foods and Amazon to stock-up. Day Three- ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – February 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 ...

Raspberry Valentine Cake

  Just because we’re on an elimination diet, it doesn’t mean we have to forego the treats altogether. It is fair to say the easier you go on them, the faster your healing but the process also involves having fun, enjoying life and putting some balance and perspective into our AIP journeys. My family have been crying out for cakes so I’ve been experimenting with ...

Hidden Gluten, Grains and Nightshades in Meds and Supplements

If you live with autoimmunity, it’s likely you’ve chosen a specialized diet free of substances such as gluten, grains, nightshades, and more. This change can be a big lifestyle adjustment: there’s the emotional component of giving up favorite foods; learning how to make new foods; convincing family to hop on the food wagon with you; perhaps even managing a dual-purpose kitchen that’s gluten-free for you, ...

Veggie-Lover’s Meatza

  You might think that a pizza without crust, cheese, or tomato sauce is pointless. I guess I agree–you can hardly call a crustless, cheeseless, sauceless dish a “pizza” no matter what it looks like. Enter “meatza”! Meatza replaces crust with a thin layer of seasoned meat upon which you can add your favorite sauce and toppings. For those of us on the autoimmune protocol, ...

Turmeric Tonic Kombucha

  Kombucha is a type of fermented tea that is a great source of organic acids, B vitamins, and various strains of probiotics and is a wonderful addition to the diet while on the Autoimmune Protocol. You start with a sweetened tea, and over time the starter culture (made of yeasts and bacteria) consumes the sugar and caffeine and turns it into a low-sugar, fizzy ...

Pork and Chicken Liver Terrine with Spiced Apple Compote

    There are so many reasons I love terrines. For starters they look pretty impressive for little work, plus the ingredients (and high satiating fat ratio) make this perfect for an AIP feast. Adding chicken livers is a cunning way to sneak in some important offal, even the pickiest of cave people will find it difficult to detect within its walls of bacon. Terrines are ...
