Surgery – The AIP Way, Part II

After four abdominal surgeries (the last two since adopting AIP to help me manage my autoimmune diseases), I was inspired to write a small blog series about “AIP surgery.” This post is Part II of the series and is focused on the recovery period. You can find Part I here, it’s all about research and pre-surgery preparation. Be aware that all my guidance is based ...

Beef Stew with Anchovies and Kale

  I recently came across some Mexican oregano which I am loving. It actually isn’t oregano at all, but a North American herb with slightly more intense flavors that are reminiscent of thyme, sage and mint, as well as oregano. Apparently in Mexico it is simply referred to as oregano. Anyway, if you can’t find it, use the same quantity of regular oregano in it’s ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – March 2017

  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!

The Last Leg of Winter: Hurry Up and Slow Down

Winter can really be a marathon. By the time February rolls around, I’m usually spending my free time searching online real estate listings in tropical locales, daydreaming about a desert vacation, and counting down the days until spring break.

Rosemary-Peach Drinking Vinegar

  I first encountered drinking vinegar at a local Thai restaurant a few years ago, and shared a recipe for berry-flavored drinking vinegar during my initial honeymoon phase with the idea. In the time since, it has become a favorite “mocktail”, something to serve up not only as a digestive aid but in any environment where everyone else might be enjoying wine, cider, or beer. ...

9 AIP Cooking Hacks to Save Time and Nourish Your Body

  This is a list of some of my favorite hacks in the kitchen. You’ll notice that most of these tips involve a little more work upfront, to make things more convenient and quick on the back end. After embarking on the Autoimmune Protocol and committing to a real-foods lifestyle post reintroductions and recovery, I’ve learned a LOT of things about how to make eating ...

AIP Italian Calzone

  In the last 5 years of living a Paleo lifestyle, there is only one food craving that still pesters me from time to time. Pizza. I’m positive I am not alone. It’s why one of the first recipes I created was my popular AIP Stromboli which this recipe is based on. If you’re unfamiliar with my dairy-free, grain-free, nightshade-free stromboli, you may be wondering ...
