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. I know I’m not alone! But as impatient as we may be for the arrival of warmer months, our bodies still want (and need) to take ...

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.

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 ...

Surgery – The AIP Way, Part I

I’ve had four abdominal surgeries in my lifetime. One emergency Caesar section and three laparoscopic surgeries to diagnose and treat endometriosis. Of my four surgeries, two were performed since I adopted the Autoimmune Protocol as my primary autoimmune disease management tool. Being able to compare the first two surgeries, to the last two surgeries, noting positive differences in my research, preparation, and recovery, has inspired ...

Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Crispy Prosciutto and Gingered Thyme Oil

Where would we Paleo world dwellers be without the cauliflower? I know not everyone can tolerate it but for those who can, it is incredibly versatile. So, however you fit it into your own cooking, be it a substitute for rice or mash, don’t forget that it also makes an amazing soup. Roasting your cauli first brings out a beautiful wholesome, rustic flavor and when ...
