Have you noticed that something has changed in the air? Spring is finally here and with it comes the promise of sunshine and warmer days. I also noticed a change in my appetite and food choices. Hearty winter dishes have been replaced by lighter meals, with lots of green vegetables and fresh herbs. I am always amazed by the bounty and abundance of vegetables that ...
Oven Baked Cod Fish with Spring Vegetables
Learning To Delay Gratification
It could be argued that the topics I’ve explored over the last several months (you can read them here, here, and here), were a bit directed at AIP long-termers, folks who have been walking the path for a while and who are ready to expand their horizons. Today I wanted to step back a bit and talk about something that applies to us all, but ...
Sweet Potato Tarts with Caramel Drizzle and Sea Salt
I don’t think about pastries very much anymore. As a Celiac, I tend to pass by bakeries with a healthy bit of trepidation, readily observing my self-imposed “10 foot rule.” However, that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten! In my former life, I baked often. I grew up with my grandmother living just a “hop, skip, and a jump” from my own front door and spent many ...
What is Gluten Cross-Reactivity?
The Theory Since many people with celiac disease continue to feel sick, even when they eliminate gluten from their diet, scientists have been looking for the reason why. One theory is cross-reactivity. What does that mean? When your body develops an allergy to gluten, it creates antibodies that remember gluten’s protein structure. If you eat gluten, those antibodies set off an inflammatory response. Some other foods ...
Angie’s Healing Story
You might find this hard to believe, but even though I write for a living, it’s quite difficult for me to tell my health story. As you’ll read, my journey involves long overdue diagnoses and years of depression and pain, but also the mental and emotional toll of navigating the deepest part of my illness while living in West Africa. Heavy, I know! These dark ...
Bacon-Date Crusted Salmon
One of the first recipes I created when I initially went Paleo was walnut-crusted salmon topped with a bacon-rosemary crumble. I can credit that dish as one of the meals that went on my husband (then boyfriend)’s “Should I propose to her?” tally board. This AIP re-creation has even surpassed my previous success! It’s savory, sweet, and full of complementary textures. Usually I don’t ...
Three Reasons You Need More Time in the Forest
While spending time outdoors may seem like a long forgotten luxury, science has revealed what your inner-child has known since birth: Nature is medicine. When dealing with chronic illness and especially the chronic fatigue that generally comes with it, pursuing outdoor activities may seem out of reach. However, this is one of the key missing pieces to your health recovery that can aid extreme benefit ...
Raw Coconut Macaroons with “Chocolate” Ganache
I created this recipe especially for my husband. Although he doesn’t particularly have a sweet tooth, he really adores coconut macaroons! Unfortunately the store-bought options for coconut macaroons contain egg whites and way too much sugar. So I decided to make my own version, autoimmune protocol compliant. The ingredients are easy to find and you probably already have most of them in your kitchen. ...
