Crab Cakes

  If you’ve loved my chicken nugget recipe, I’ve got something fun in store for you. I am totally sold on this AIP breading. The pork rinds and cassava add the perfect amount of crunch and texture to anything and these crab cakes are no exception. For me, seafood is a must-have all summer long. There’s something about squeezing some lemon and garlic onto fresh ...

Hibiscus-Mint Summer Iced Tea

  I’m a big fan of iced tea, and this herbal blend really does the trick for me – caffeine-free, slightly sweet with floral and citrus notes. When I see a hot day on the forecast I brew up a batch first thing in the morning and then chill in the refrigerator to enjoy during the heat of the day. A misconception some people have ...

Six weeks ago we came to you, our Autoimmune Wellness community, with an open letter, clarifying what it means for us to advocate for a holistic approach to health and wellness. In the simplest terms, our work is defined by the belief that seeking health and building community is an interdependent project.

Veggie Confetti

  Like many people, when I first heard about all the things to initially avoid on this healing diet, my response was, “What in the world CAN I eat?”  I would feel all mopey and woe-is-me-y, pining for foods I could no longer eat. Now, after years of eating differently, I’ve changed my mindset.  I’ve changed how I regard food.  I try to have FUN ...
