Vanilla Energy Bites

  This is a spinoff of a fan-favorite recipe in The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook — Fig Energy Bites! Here, I use dried apples and apricots instead of figs and fresh vanilla seeds and lemon to switch out the flavor profile. Yes, the seeds scraped from a fresh vanilla bean are AIP-friendly, since the seeds are so small they don’t get chewed but pass through digestion “whole” ...

No Churn Carob-Berry Mousse Ice Cream with Salted Crushed Berries

Whenever I create recipes I always think about how I can add in extra nutrients, particularly with treats. My son pointed out the other day that it is ice cream season and, always keen to keep the family happy yet still nourished, I came up with this recipe. When eating sweets, it is vitally important to take in some fat too. This is to slow ...

Remember…You Are More Than A Diagnosis

A few months ago, I shared some of the lessons on wellness and whole health that I learned from my time as a hospice nurse, renewed through the experience of my cousin Jim’s passing. In conversation with Jim as he was ailing and grieving the loss of a life cut short, I was reminded how important it is to fill our days with activities that ...

Summer Beef Stew with Chilled Thyme Pesto

I don’t mind hot foods during the summer, but in many people’s minds, summer and stew don’t go together. There is actually something to eating hot foods on hot days. I know many Africans who not only eat hot foods and drink hot liquids in the sweltering heat, but they also add heat-inducing spices, upping the ante even more. This tactic is actually cooling for ...

Roasted Strawberry Pots de Creme

  For as long as I can remember, strawberries have been my go-to indulgence. I mean, it wasn’t always the fruit itself. There were popsicles, slushies, lollipops, sodas, cream cheeses, sundaes, you name it. Later on in life, there was even strawberry-flavored beer. And when I did eat the fruit itself as a kid, it was usually coated in sugar. What was that all about?! Nowadays, ...

Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Orange, Olive and Oregano

  Nothing screams a long summer day louder to me than grilled chicken kabobs. Normally chicken is far from my favorite protein with beef, salmon and lamb filling my top three spots. Yet when chicken is cubed, marinated and grilled kabob-style, it becomes a stand-out summer dish. These AIP-friendly grilled chicken kabobs don’t rely on onions or bell peppers for flavor. Instead, the chicken is ...
