Green Curry

  This past May I had the incredible opportunity to host a brunch at Mission: Heirloom, the world’s first restaurant that caters to those of us on the Autoimmune Protocol (can you believe it?!). While there are a few places you can grab an AIP-compliant meal, Mission Heirloom is the first to actually build their meals using an AIP foundation, so most of their menu caters ...

Wild Salmon with Nectarine-Cucumber Salsa

This baked salmon with a refreshing salsa is no exception to my no-fuss kitchen rule. I come up with my best dishes when they are not pre-conceived — the ones made from ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – September 2015

Kale Pesto

  If you are interested in supporting methylation, you’d better be eating lots of raw, green, leafy vegetables in order to get your body the folate it needs to fuel the process!

As ...

Simple, Asian-Inspired Stir-Fry

  This has become one of my weekly staples because it’s so easy to make and so very, very delicious. I use a frozen mix of broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts for convenience, but the beauty of this recipe is that you can use any vegetables you like! Mushrooms, cauliflower, and leafy greens would all be wonderful additions. You can also use any kind of ...
