Because some of the most traditional American breakfast foods are out during the elimination diet, a lot of people struggle with what to eat for their morning meals. Bread, cereal, oatmeal, and even eggs are all out for the time being (and lets face it, for most of us, gluten is out forever). What is worse, is that a lot of us have become ...
Breakfast on the Autoimmune Protocol
AIP / Provençal Herb Stuffed Whole Fish – French Paleo Recipe
The recipe I am sharing with you today is inspired by the flavors of Provence. This southern region of France is well known for its fragrant fields of lavender, where people enjoy life at a slower pace. I have memories of summer holidays spent in Provence with my parents, visiting small towns nestled in the hills covered with flowers. I have had the chance to ...
The Argument For Nutrient Density
While it may seem that the Autoimmune Protocol is merely an elimination diet, there is more to it than simply avoiding certain foods. In fact, I believe that ignoring the nutrient-density piece is one of the largest obstacles to success when people adopt AIP. While there is a lot of focus on eliminating grains, beans, dairy, nuts, seeds, and nightshades out of the diet, ...
Acorn Squash Soup with Dandelion Pesto
Lately I’ve been trying to increase the variety of vegetables I eat on a regular basis, especially those that are wild plants and not cultivated. Dandelion greens fit this bill perfectly, and although I was initially put off by their bitterness, I’ve grown to enjoy using them in my cooking week to week. Making them into a pesto is a great way to concentrate the flavor ...
Classic Apple Pie
It took me a while to come up with a good apple pie recipe, because boy, am I picky! I like a thick, flaky crust paired with perfectly seasoned but not mushy filling. Was that possible with AIP ingredients? Turns out, with a couple of extra steps, it is totally possible to make a pie that satisfies those requirements, and one that is allergen-free to boot! ...
Slow-Roasted Prime Rib
This recipe is as no-fuss as it gets—but don’t be fooled, it will be one of the most succulent, tasty dishes you will ever try! Slow-roasting ensures that every cut of meat is cooked to the desired doneness, and you don’t sacrifice the crispy outside due to this handy browning after roasting technique. Browning the meat after roasting makes the timing much more flexible, as ...
Maple-Cranberry Brussels Sprouts
Looking for a simple, seasonal way to include some healthy greens as well as incorporate those delicious fresh cranberries that are popping up in stores around the country? This time of year, I buy a big container of fresh cranberries weekly and use them in everything–braised meat dishes, salad toppings, and added to stir-frys like this one. Besides being a good source of antioxidants, they add ...
Butternut Squash Risotto
Last week I started a new dedicated Autoimmune Paleo account on Instagram, and spent some time cooking from some AIP blogs to introduce folks to some of the great recipe writers that are joining the community. One my favorite dishes of the week was Lamb with Olive Tapenade Rice from Grazed and Enthused. You should recognize Alaena from the wonderful blog post she penned for me this summer ...
