Roasted Vegetables with a Salsa Verde

  I love roasted vegetables. They taste so scrumptious and what’s more, they pretty much look after themselves in the oven, leaving you to concentrate on other things.

Crispy Dill Fried Fish

  You know what I like? I like pub food. Wings, pulled pork sandwiches, cheese fries, fish and chips…that sort of thing. Now, I’m not going to be eating most of that any time soon…or ever again in some cases. BTW, I’m a Celiac, can I even be in a pub? Is the air cross-contaminated?

The Autoimmune Protocol vs. Other Healing Diets

  One of the most common questions I get about the Autoimmune Protocol is “Why should I do AIP instead of a ketogenic diet, GAPS, SCD, low-FODMAP, or the Candida Diet?” or “Should I do AIP with SCD/low-FODMAPs etc.?” With this article, I am going to share with you the differences between these approaches, and why you should or shouldn’t layer them (or use them ...

Hard Cider & Maple Brined Pork Belly

First things first (’cause I know everyone is going to ask) . . . yes! you can cook with alcohol even during the elimination phase of the Autoimmune Protocol. You can take a look at what The Paleo Mom has to say on this here. However, if you think you’ll be too tempted to drink a bottle of hard cider at this point in your ...
