Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

  Asparagus is my favorite vegetable. Not just because its tart, earthy taste pairs well with just about everything – lemon and bacon are fairly traditional toppings but I’ve also served mine with sweet honey-orange sauce or even date paste – but because it’s so darn easy to prepare. No peeling or chopping required, what’s not to love? Just break off those tough woody ends, ...

Are you living in a fearful, anxious, victim state most of the day? In 2017, we dove into some of the nuts and bolts of the connection between cortisol (the stress hormone) and our body’s ability to ...

Apple-Sage Pork Breakfast Skillet

  Here is another breakfast skillet to add to your morning or batch-cooking routine. I’ve used white-fleshed sweet potatoes here, along with two classic pork flavors: apple and sage. I prefer the white-fleshed sweets because they tend to be a little starchier and less sweet, but if you can only get your hands on the orange types, or even yams, this recipe will work just ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – January 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 ...

Sweet Potato and Broccoli Soup with Kelp Flakes

I had gum surgery the other day so have been eating a fair amount of this soup. It’s no hardship though, because I’m completely in love with it. The soup is smooth, full of flavor and goodness, and it’s just as satisfying served warm or cold. I’m not eating hot things but it will be amazing when piping hot in a bowl large enough for ...
