Sweet Potato Pie Cheesecake

  Oh, November! One of my favorite months of the year. The start of the impending holiday season. The invigorating, joy-inducing crisp in the air. All the nostalgia of childhood wrapped up in a giant two-month package. Okay, I’ll stop being so gooey now and start talking about pie-cheesecake hybrids. I don’t know who came up with combining a comforting holiday pie into another American classic ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – October 2015

AIP Kitchen tour is a monthly feature where we profile someone who eats AIP and has agreed to share their kitchen setup with the community, in hopes that they can further inspire us to get our kitchens organized and set up for success! We’ve heard reports of people who are able to make AIP work in college dorms and small city apartments to large households ...

Sautéed Chicken Livers with Riced Cauliflower, Collards and Herbs

This is the kind of recipe that has no real formula. The question to ask is how much do you love your herbs? Personally, I can’t get enough of them, so much so that my fridge contains at least two large packed jugs at any one time. Cooked or raw, I include herbs in every meal and never in proportions any less than generous. It is worth ...

Pumpkin Spice Granola

  Fall can bring nostalgia to even those who live in season-less environments. I grew up in a small beach town in Central Florida, and I can count on one hand the number of times it dipped below 80 degrees on Christmas Day. And Halloween? Even warmer! Yes, wearing a homemade felt frog costume was just as suffocating as it sounds. But those few weeks sprinkled throughout ...

Marjoram Roasted Cauliflower

  Okay, be honest… did you know roasted cauliflower was even a thing before AIP? Me neither. Pre-AIP I thought cauliflower was best served boiled with liquid cheese poured over it. B-O-R-I-N-G. Looking back, I’m so sad I missed so many opportunities to eat delicious roasted cauliflower, which can easily be dressed up with a wide variety of herb and spice mixtures. I recently dreamed ...

Each month a new person is featured and readers have the opportunity to discover all the different health challenges that are being overcome by folks just like themselves on the same path.

Pomegranate Cider

I love fall, and not only because the weather gets moderately less stifling here in Texas. Curling up on the couch with a good book and hot mug of cider has always been one of my favorite pastimes, ever since I was a kid. And while I love traditional apple cider, I couldn’t resist playing with other fruit juices for an equally warm, comforting, seasonal ...

Non-AIP Ingredients in Food, Body Products and Household Items

When you saw the title of this post, you might have thought, “Well that sure covers a lot of ground.” Yes, it does! Everyone on the Autoimmune Protocol knows to avoid dietary gluten. Hopefully you also know to check supplements and medications for hidden gluten and other ingredients that might cause trouble. For an AIP newbie, changing your diet and supplements, and getting the kitchen ...
