Veggie-Lover’s Meatza

  You might think that a pizza without crust, cheese, or tomato sauce is pointless. I guess I agree–you can hardly call a crustless, cheeseless, sauceless dish a “pizza” no matter what it looks like. Enter “meatza”! Meatza replaces crust with a thin layer of seasoned meat upon which you can add your favorite sauce and toppings. For those of us on the autoimmune protocol, ...

Turmeric Tonic Kombucha

  Kombucha is a type of fermented tea that is a great source of organic acids, B vitamins, and various strains of probiotics and is a wonderful addition to the diet while on the Autoimmune Protocol. You start with a sweetened tea, and over time the starter culture (made of yeasts and bacteria) consumes the sugar and caffeine and turns it into a low-sugar, fizzy ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – January 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 ...

Pork and Chicken Liver Terrine with Spiced Apple Compote

    There are so many reasons I love terrines. For starters they look pretty impressive for little work, plus the ingredients (and high satiating fat ratio) make this perfect for an AIP feast.

AIP Food Storage Basics

  One of the things that can become a big deal when you start AIP is food storage. Basically, prior to AIP, I really didn’t think a whole lot about this topic. I didn’t do much batch cooking, so I didn’t worry about how to store four quarts of bone broth or how long three baking sheets worth of roasted root veggies would keep in ...

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.

Strawberry Basil Balsamic Ice Cream

Strawberries, basil, and balsamic vinegar are three of my all-time favorite ingredients. If balsamic vinegar is strawberry’s soul mate, basil is their closest friend. When I first moved to Austin, I used to love the strawberry milkshakes with balsamic glaze at Alamo Drafthouse. It only seemed logical to make an ice cream inspired by that treat but with the further addition of basil. The trio ...
