Since going on the Autoimmune Protocol, I have been continually searching for new vegetables to switch things up from the usual rotation. I happened to be in a grocery store I don’t shop at often, and was reminded of jicama, a vegetable I used to buy all the time. Here I use it to make a crunchy salad with a little added sweetness from ...
Jicama, Pear, and Mint Salad with Citrus-Ginger Dressing
Mickey’s Story – Part III
If you are starting here, you might want to read part I and part II. Right after getting my Hashimoto’s diagnosis from my naturopath, he advised me to go on this expensive smoothie cleanse/elimination diet. It consisted of a meal replacement powder that you ramp up for 3 weeks, eventually replacing all of your meals with it and then weaning off of it. In conjunction, ...
Mickey’s Story – Part II
So when we left off, I was happily living as an asthma-free vegan in Colorado. I thought I was super healthy with my new diet and had discovered outdoor sports. After about six months, however, something happened that I had never encountered before. I stopped getting my period. The first missed period, I barely noticed. The second and third really got my attention. So I ...
Mickey’s Story – Part I

Perfect Pressure-Cooked Beef
The day I purchased a pressure cooker it became incredibly more feasible to do the Autoimmune Protocol. All of a sudden I was making bone broth in a few hours (instead of 12) and roast beef in 40 minutes (instead of 2 hours). I went from feeling like I was scrambling to keep up with this diet to really getting into the groove and ...
Chicken Soup with Acorn Squash
Of course, as soon as fall hits not far off in the distance is the first cold of the season. At first signs of illness, I always make soup; its healing broth and spices are sure to pull me through a sick spell. I use this recipe to cook large whole stewing hens or roosters I get from my local farm, since they are ...
Three-Herb Beef Breakfast Patties
The first question people often ask when they hear about the Autoimmune Protocol is, “What do I eat for breakfast?”. Since most of the traditional breakfast foods have been removed from the diet, there are not too many options left for quick, nutritious morning meals. These patties are easy to make in bulk to be frozen for a quick reheat in the morning. I usually ...
