AIP Tarragon Chicken Pot Pie

  Chicken Pot pie is the ultimate comfort food in my opinion, and this recipe really hits it home with an ultra-flaky crust thanks to Otto’s Cassava Flour! While AIP doughs can sometimes be difficult to work with, I think you’ll be surprised how easily this one comes together. While this one doesn’t go crazy with the flavors (it is a big hit with kids ...

AIP Certified Coach Spotlight – Christina Tidwell

  Ever since our first cohort of coaches graduated from our AIP Certified Coach Practitioner Training Program, we’ve been watching with pride and excitement as they bring the AIP to the traditional healthcare landscape. Our AIP Certified Coach Spotlight features give you a look at what it means to be an AIP coach, and what you can expect when working with one as part of ...

5 Ways To Keep It Simple While On AIP

Having a hard time either making the elimination phase of the Autoimmune Protocol stick for the first time, or sustain a healing diet long-term? You aren’t alone — and I believe one of the biggest barriers to compliance is sheer overwhelm. Having too many options, or trying to make too many changes at once is a sure-fire way to set yourself up to not be ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – February 2018

  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 ...

Creamy Collards with Garlic and Spices

  I cook a lot of dark leafy greens. Not only do they allow us to pack in the nutrients but they are excellent for improving methylation pathways, something that commonly needs addressing with autoimmune conditions. Stress control, inflammation management, energy production, elimination of toxins and so much more can be helped by eating frequent portions of these healing greens. Because we eat so many, ...

Life is Happening NOW! (and Why It Matters in Autoimmune Disease)

“When my body finally feels good… “When I have energy again… “When I lose 20 pounds…… “When I can think more clearly… “When I’m not so overwhelmed and stressed… “When I can exercise again… …that’s when I’m going to be happy.” This concept, or a version of it, is a trap that we can easily get caught in—and it’s easy to understand why. We convince ...

Grape Roasted Chicken with Mushroom Cream Sauce

  When it comes to cooking, one thing I adore are easy recipes that look fancy. In my opinion the absolutely best tasting food is also normally the most simplistic. The ingredients aren’t elaborate and the process is relatively effortless, but the result on the other side is not only delicious, it looks incredible and pulls you in to the dinner table. These kinds of ...

Planning A Fail-Safe AIP Breakfast Routine

Breakfast really is the most important meal, as cliché as that sounds. You might be wondering why? Well, one of the biggest factors is that what you eat for breakfast sets your metabolism for the day. Have you ever started your morning with pancakes (even Paleo, or AIP versions!) smothered with maple syrup, and wonder why you feel hungry every couple of hours for the ...
