Parsnip and Pear Soup With Fried Sage

I have to make sure while on the autoimmune protocol that I include lots of starchy carbs like parsnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and plantains or I start to have low energy. When roasted root veggies gets old, I like to switch gears and make blended soups – very few dishes are as comforting! This recipe is as simple as they come and uses some of my ...

Raspberry Peppermint Bark

One of the “treats” I really miss since I have been on the autoimmune protocol are the peppermint candies and candy canes that pop up around the holidays. While I am not about to go near the food dyes, processed sugar and chemical flavorings found in the conventional ones, I thought it might be nice to try and recreate that flavor with ingredients that are ...

Vegetable Spotlight – Cauliflower

I decided to start a new recipe theme on the blog — it is called “vegetable spotlight.” Instead of presenting you with one recipe, now and then I am going to highlight a seasonal vegetable and show you a few different simple ways to cook it. While as a foodie, I love to come up with fancy recipes, I realize that some of you could ...

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Gingersnap Crust

  I am so thrilled to share with you the best holiday recipe I have come up with this year — Pumpkin Spice Cake with Gingersnap Crust! While I don’t endorse eating treats very often on the Autoimmune Protocol, I think that everyone needs a compliant dessert recipe they can share with their family and friends during the holidays. Since I have stopped eating sugar, ...

Salmon with Citrus-Cranberry Relish

  Wondering what to make with that leftover Citrus-Cranberry Relish I posted last week? I made the incredible discovery that it is absolutely AMAZING as a topping for baked salmon. The cranberries cook ever so slightly, giving a tart and festive flavor to an otherwise simple salmon fillet. Although I haven’t tried it yet, I imagine it would be delicious on top of other types ...

Citrus-Cranberry Relish

  When I moved to Seattle a few years ago, I started a Thanksgiving collaboration with my friend Brenna Rose Miller (who is also the stylist for my upcoming cookbook!). Both of our families are originally from California, but over time have migrated to the northwest. Every year we get together and have a big celebration. Back then I was vegan – and many in ...

Apple-Cranberry Holiday Stuffing

It has been awhile since I have had a recipe to post on the blog – truth be told I have been so busy cooking for the cookbook photo shoots that I have not had time for developing new recipes. Since the shoots ended a couple of weeks ago, I have been hard at work coming up with new ideas for the holiday season, starting ...

Cinnamon-Sage Baked Delicata Squash

  If I had to choose my favorite squash, it definitely would be the sweet, nutty delicata. Every time September rolls around, I am thrilled at the sight of this little guy’s reappearance at the farmer’s market. This is a vegetable that doesn’t need any fancy preparation – I most often eat it simply sprinkled with some fresh herbs and cinnamon. 4.3 from 6 reviews ...
