Prosciutto Meatloaf Muffins with Fig Jam

  This recipe stems purely from my hedonistic quest for each meal to be memorable. We have all seen fig and prosciutto thin crust pizzas on menus by now. For good reason! Salty prosciutto and sweet figs complement each other well. Plus, if you stuff ground beef in between those two things, you’re going to be pretty happy with life. My AIP trick for a ...

Why Food Intolerance Testing Doesn’t Work

If Only It Were Easy Let’s face it: the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol is hard to do. If we could just take a test to identify our food intolerances, it would be so much easier! So, why don’t we? Unfortunately, food intolerance testing is unreliable, giving both false positive and false negative results. An elimination diet (like the AIP) is the only accurate way to test for ...

AIP Stories of Recovery – February 2015

  “AIP Stories of Recovery” is a success story series about regular people from the Autoimmune Protocol community who are changing their lives using the protocol. 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. At Autoimmune Paleo we hope you’ll be inspired ...

Aloo Gobi

  Indian cuisine is my all-time favorite. Creamy curries, aromatic seasonings, spicy meats offset with cooling yogurt-based sauces and desserts… oh my, I’m in heaven at the thought. Aloo Gobi is a dish traditionally made with potatoes, tomatoes, and cauliflower in a rich blend of mostly seed-based seasonings. By subbing taro, carrots, and safe spices, my autoimmune protocol version is creamy, smells incredible, and is every bit ...

The AIP Marathon

When I found the Autoimmune Protocol, I thought it would go something like this: Day One- Learn everything about AIP. Day Two- Implement AIP diet flawlessly; including growing my own garden, getting backyard chickens complete with their own adorable hen house like the ones you see on those lifestyle blogs, and dropping a grand a piece between Whole Foods and Amazon to stock-up. Day Three- ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – February 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 ...

Raspberry Valentine Cake

  Just because we’re on an elimination diet, it doesn’t mean we have to forego the treats altogether. It is fair to say the easier you go on them, the faster your healing but the process also involves having fun, enjoying life and putting some balance and perspective into our AIP journeys. My family have been crying out for cakes so I’ve been experimenting with ...

Hidden Gluten, Grains and Nightshades in Meds and Supplements

If you live with autoimmunity, it’s likely you’ve chosen a specialized diet free of substances such as gluten, grains, nightshades, and more. This change can be a big lifestyle adjustment: there’s the emotional component of giving up favorite foods; learning how to make new foods; convincing family to hop on the food wagon with you; perhaps even managing a dual-purpose kitchen that’s gluten-free for you, ...
