Of all of the types of protein available to me, I eat red meat the most since it is high in the nutrients I tend to lack from my vegan days, especially iron and zinc (if you are worried about red meat being inflammatory, etc., I recommend this article series by Chris Kresser – Red Meat Report). I by no means eat a ton of ...
Citrus-Bison Meatballs with Crispy Sweet Potato Noodles
Coconut Curried Cauliflower with Kale
Missing curry while on the Autoimmune Protocol? I’ve got you covered with this lovely cauliflower and kale dish, seasoned with lots of garlic, ginger, turmeric, and creamy coconut milk (my recipe here). I recommend making your own coconut milk instead of buying at the store, both because it is cheaper, and because you avoid the BPA can issue as well as the gut-irritating thickeners like ...
Creamy Coconut Milk
Although I have shared this recipe elsewhere on this site, I thought it deserved to have it’s own page for reference. I love making coconut milk fresh both because it tastes way better than the canned variety, and because it is hard to avoid finding a brand that does not use BPA in their can lining, or thickeners as an ingredient in the milk (I’ve ...
Ribboned Asparagus and Fennel Salad
This is an incredibly simple and flavorful way to prepare one of my favorite early spring vegetables — asparagus! I’m always looking for more reasons to work this antioxidant-rich vegetable into my diet when it is in season. If you haven’t tried raw asparagus before, you shouldn’t be put off by it — I love it’s subtle crunch and tangy flavor. A vegetable peeler and ...
Fruit and the Autoimmune Protocol

First off, fruit itself is ...
Early Spring Salad with Grapefruit and Ginger Vinaigrette
Ever since I did the 21 Day Sugar Detox, I have been eating a lot more grapefruit, as I kind of forgot how delicious they are! Lately I have been making this simple salad with other ingredients that are plentiful in early spring–arugula and fennel. I’ve paired it with a simple ginger vinaigrette to make a easy, fresh, and seasonal accompaniment to a protein of ...
Garlic Rosemary Plantain Crackers
Looking for something to satisfy the crunchy craving while on the Autoimmune Protocol? I have been obsessed with these plantain crackers from The Paleo Mom ever since I discovered the recipe last year. Many variations have been born out of her original recipe, and today I’d like to share my favorite combination thus far—garlic and rosemary! Plantain crackers make a wonderful vehicle for any ...
Magic “Chili”
One of the recipes I get the most comments and praise about on this site is my AIP Carrot and Sweet Potato “Chili”. Most people love it because the ingredients are simple, it’s easy to make, and it tastes amazing! Seriously, if you haven’t tried it, you are missing out. I was thinking though, that it would be fun to add to the nightshade-free chili family ...
