My entire life I have struggled with exercise. As a child I was severely asthmatic and therefore banned from doing P.E. or any sports that caused my heart rate to increase. Fortunately I discovered that I could ride horses, and my parents gladly supported that in lieu of doing sports. When I was in college and discovered that my asthma was really a severe dairy allergy, ...
My Struggle With Exercise and Autoimmunity
Beet and Fennel Soup
This is the time of year I get borderline obsessed with blended soups – I find that I crave the texture and they are an excellent way to get some extra bone broth in. I like to double this recipe and have some to heat up for breakfast with my leftover meat. This one also freezes well (sans avocado), so it would make a lovely ...
Chicken Liver with Raw Garlic and Thyme
You don’t need to dig deep around the internet to read about the benefits of eating liver. This article and this article should convince you. Once you get past the idea, then comes the taste. I am not going to lie, I hated liver when I first started eating it. Fortunately, I have found a couple of ways to cook it so that I actually ...
Celeriac Leek Soup
Celeriac is one of my favorite vegetables, especially since it is low in starch and FODMAPs.

When I started working in coffee I consumed only a cup a day, by the end I was drinking more like 4-6. I was obsessed with the art of making coffee and the culture that surrounds it. I even considered opening my own coffee ...

Roasted Beet Dip

It is great with carrot slices, or even straight off the spoon. 5.0 from 5 reviews Roasted Beet Dip Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 1 hour Total time 1 hour 10 mins Serves: ...
White Willow Bark as an Alternative to NSAIDs on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol
The past few months I have been experimenting with using white willow bark (salix alba) instead of NSAIDs for my menstrual cramps. I believe it is a bit controversial given that a lot of people are worried about salicylates these days, but I have had a good experience and wanted to pass along what I have learned. Why are NSAIDs not allowed on the paleo autoimmune ...
