AIP Beet Hummus

Most of the time when I’m cooking, I’m only about 50% sure I know how it’s going to turn out. When I tested this beet hummus recipe, I was thinking it was going to taste like some weird beet-like mush. I was so wrong! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it turned out. I like eating this like a faux-hummus on salads, lettuce wraps, ...

Doris’s AIP Kitchen: How She Manages Multiple Autoimmune Diseases in Toronto

  AIP Kitchen Tour is a monthly feature in which we profile a member of the AIP community and their kitchen setup in hopes that it will further inspire us to get our kitchens organized and set up for success!

Hearty Chicken Soup

If you hang around me for any length of time, you will soon discover that I am a total soup girl. I love soup! It’s the perfect one-dish meal. And if it contains homemade bone broth, we will receive some added nutritional benefits (e.g. collagen, vitamins, minerals). FYI, this is a pressure cooker recipe. While I do not own an Instant Pot (mine was a ...

In Defense of a Slow Healing Journey

I get it. You want to feel better . . . NOW. I’ve been in that place where the severity of autoimmune disease has totally diminished quality of life and daily activity is mainly about coping, hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute. In that place nothing short of “right now” is fast enough in terms of a healing timeline. Still, eight years after I ...

Creamy Instant Pot Mushroom Chicken

All I’ve been in the mood for lately is batch-cooked comfort food, so here is another good weeknight Instant Pot dinner recipe that easily makes a bundle and keeps great for leftovers throughout the week! If you don’t want 8 servings, you can easily halve this recipe, but while you are cooking, why not make some for later? You can either eat it by itself ...

Poached Tilapia

  This Poached Tilapia recipe is a simple but elegant dish. It’s full of really subtle flavors of bone broth, thyme and bay. I came up with this recipe when I was recovering from dental surgery. I was only allowed to eat soft foods for weeks. This Poached Tilapia recipe was in heavy rotation for a few weeks. In fact, I still regularly make it ...

Is Stress About the Perfect Diet Causing Your Health to Decline?

Whenever we embark on a healing journey to troubleshoot autoimmune symptoms or improve how we feel, food is often the first thing we focus on. Food is tangible. It’s right there in front of us and we feel like modifying our diet is something we can clearly “do” to begin to manage our symptoms. And it is! Food provides us with the fuel our bodies ...
