How To Really Eat AIP

This post was first published on Angie’s original site on November 11, 2013. It is being republished here with minor updates. Can you guess which question I get more often than all the others? It’s not, “What foods do I avoid on the Autoimmune Protocol?” and it’s not, “How do you plan your menus?” It’s basically some variation of this question, “But how do I ...

Thai-Inspired Pork Salad

If you’re in any way an aficionado of Thai cuisine, I think you could categorize my recipe this month as midway between a Lap and a Phla Mu. But whichever you may decide upon, this Thai-inspired pork salad — despite a lack of nightshades — packs a feisty punch indeed. To enjoy it to the fullest, stir-fry the pork until it shows tinges of brown ...

Golden Turmeric Sauce

Here is a recipe that I’ve been completely hooked on this winter — it’s made it into my batch-cooking routine just about every week, due to the numerous reasons to love it! First, turmeric and ginger are a great anti-inflammatory combination, and I try to use lots of these powerful roots in my cooking to stay feeling great. Second, this recipe uses ingredients that are ...

Embracing an Eclectic Table: How to Feed a Family With Multiple Dietary Needs

When it comes to dietary needs and preferences, I have become quite the innovative mama in the kitchen. My family alone has a slew of food sensitivities and, in addition, I cook meals for other individuals on a regular basis and tie their needs and preferences into the menu as well. I work with dairy, egg, gluten, corn, nut, and nightshade vegetable sensitivities in my ...

BBQ Chicken Meatballs

These meatballs are actually inspired by the gluten-free BBQ Chicken Pizza at California Pizza Kitchen, which was always one of my favorite all-time pizzas. Take the toppings of that pizza – chicken, cilantro, red onion, and BBQ sauce – and combine them into meatballs! These would be great grilled, but I don’t have a grill, so I use the stove top. You can also place them ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – January 2016

  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 ...

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus

  Having been vegan for nearly a decade, I really missed hummus when I started the Autoimmune Protocol. It had been one of those cheap, easy, and delicious staples in my diet, and it only occurred to me recently that I could make a similar dish without legumes (garbanzo beans), seeds (sesame and cumin), or nightshades (paprika). Here I use roasted garlic along with fresh lemon juice ...

Moderator vs. Abstainer: Using Your Tendency To Reach Your Goals

  Happy New Year! 2016 has arrived! I’m going to be totally amazing this year. I’m going to make all those changes I’ve been planning. It’s going to be awesome as I just demolish challenges left and right. I’m going to get rid of all my bad habits and I’m going to make all new good habits. I’ll be better than before! Actually, that “better ...
