Boundaries: A Prerequisite for Compassion and a Tool For Healing

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the value of boundaries lately. There are a whole slew of reasons for this—but suffice it to say that a couple of situations in my life were depleting me for a few weeks. The common denominator? I needed to get honest with myself and set some new, healthy boundaries around work and in relationships. Boundaries are a ...

Herbed Beef Stew with Carrots and Celeriac

When I picked up an Instant Pot, my cooking routine changed forever — long gone were the afternoons of spending hours “checking in” with a slowly simmering pot of stew on the stovetop. Now I can execute a fully tender, nourishing stew in less than an hour and a half, which is a huge win in my book! This recipe is the current iteration of a ...

But don’t worry if you haven’t, there are ...

Minimizing Toxin Exposure… Without Fear!

I’m writing about it now hopefully in an approachable and informational way, because I do think a lot of these areas are worthy of investigation by anyone suffering from autoimmune disease (and honestly, healthy ...

Freezer Cooking for the Paleo AIP Review

  Folks new to the AIP know that it requires a new way of approaching daily cooking. Packaged meals and takeout food are rarely an option, but who has time to cook from scratch every day? Not us. So, how do we make AIP eating doable, even when time is short? Freezer cooking! Filling your freezer with pre-made meals, or meal components, enables you to ...

Strawberry Applesauce

Fall brings a lot of flavors to our table we may not enjoy throughout the rest of the year – like pumpkin, cinnamon, and cranberry – but by far my favorite autumn ingredient is the simple, humble apple. Whether you’re buying conventional or organic, they’re one of the most affordable fruits year-round and come in a variety of tantalizing flavors. In my opinion, this applesauce ...
