Jennifer’s AIP Kitchen: How She Manages Hashimoto’s in Brooklyn

  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! We’ve interviewed folks who are making the AIP lifestyle a reality in everything from college dorms and small city apartments, to large households with non-AIP family members, and everything in between. Through these ...

AIP Kinda Ketchup

  I’ve been trying to make an AIP-compliant ketchup for years, but my attempts have always fallen short without trusty tomatoes to use as a base. I made a breakthrough when I gave up on using whole beets for the substance and flavor, and instead moved to using just beet juice. The juice adds lots of nutrients, flavor, and that gorgeous color, but without lending ...

Setting Up Your AIP Kitchen

After spending the last five years helping people transition their diets to The Autoimmune Protocol, one thing has become abundantly clear – for some people, the biggest barrier to their success is not having the right kitchen tools or organization to embark on a healing diet. I thought I’d write a back-to-basics article to help those of you who are just starting figure out how ...

Blackberry Collagen Popsicles

  Popsicles are a fun way to stay cool during the summer, but unfortunately most store-bought varieties have sub-optimal ingredients or added sugar. Not only do I like to make my popsicles sweetened only with fruit, but I also add a little collagen peptides to add some nutrient-density to an otherwise sweet treat. You can make this recipe with any type of berries you find ...

Analysis Paralysis Conundrum of Autoimmune Management

In autoimmune disease, we often learn the hard way that the decisions we make—about what we put in our body, when to go to bed, which activities to participate in, you name it—have a direct impact on how we feel. We can go years not giving a rip about any of these things, only to realize as we become aware of our disease that they’ve ...

AIP Pizzelles

  I have a delicious and accidental recipe for you guys today!! Recently, my sister and I were experimenting with AIP crackers of various kinds and we kept trying our hands at a graham cracker. Somehow in that process, we ended up with these pizzelles! Frankly, I don’t even care about the graham crackers anymore! For those that aren’t familiar, a pizzelle is an Italian ...

Carne Patacones (Fried Green Plantains and Shredded Beef)

  I’m pretty sure that I have hispanic blood in me because the bulk of my recipes and meals of choice contain some sort of hispanic influence. When on AIP it can be hard when you miss peppers, tomatoes and cumin. Hopefully this will quench your desire for taco Tuesday. Forsake the tortilla and indulge in the glory of “fried green plantains”. If you haven’t ...
