Collagen-Berry Green Smoothie

  I know a lot of you are struggling with quick meal ideas for when you need to be on-the-go and I get asked all the time if there is a protein powder that is acceptable on the Autoimmune Protocol or if smoothies are ok for breakfast. The truth is, there is no complete protein powder that is compatible with the Autoimmune Protocol, and having smoothies without protein ...

Tuna Salad Endive Boats

  While I have a recipe for Classic Tuna Salad in the cookbook that uses my Garlic Mayo recipe to add texture and creaminess, I wanted to provide a quick, coconut-free version for those of you looking to get a meal on your plate, fast! This is a super simple tuna salad, but don’t let it deceive you–I’ve added some green apple for a little sweet crunch, ...

Pressure-Cooker Bone Broth

  I’ve had a lot of requests lately inquiring about how I make my bone broth, so I thought I would share my method for those of you who are curious. I believe consuming bone broth an integral part of the Autoimmune Protocol, because it is a nutrient-dense, gut-healing food. Bone broth is a rich source of minerals like calcium, magnesium, as well as gelatin ...

Can I buy You A Beer? A Celiac Looks At Orthorexia

Wow. This post has been bubbling in my brain for a loooong time.  I’ve thought & thought & thought about how to write about this topic.  There’s a fine line here.  A month or so ago I even had a long-winded phone conversation about it with my pal, Mickey Trescott of Autoimmune Paleo, & that is when I knew for sure it was definitely time ...

Citrus-Bison Meatballs with Crispy Sweet Potato Noodles

Of all of the types of protein available to me, I eat red meat the most since it is high in the nutrients I tend to lack from my vegan days, especially iron and zinc (if you are worried about red meat being inflammatory, etc., I recommend this article series by Chris Kresser – Red Meat Report). I by no means eat a ton of ...

Coconut Curried Cauliflower with Kale

  Missing curry while on the Autoimmune Protocol? I’ve got you covered with this lovely cauliflower and kale dish, seasoned with lots of garlic, ginger, turmeric, and creamy coconut milk (my recipe here). I recommend making your own coconut milk instead of buying at the store, both because it is cheaper, and because you avoid the BPA can issue as well as the gut-irritating thickeners like ...

Creamy Coconut Milk

Although I have shared this recipe elsewhere on this site, I thought it deserved to have it’s own page for reference. I love making coconut milk fresh both because it tastes way better than the canned variety, and because it is hard to avoid finding a brand that does not use BPA in their can lining, or thickeners as an ingredient in the milk (I’ve ...

Ribboned Asparagus and Fennel Salad

  This is an incredibly simple and flavorful way to prepare one of my favorite early spring vegetables — asparagus! I’m always looking for more reasons to work this antioxidant-rich vegetable into my diet when it is in season. If you haven’t tried raw asparagus before, you shouldn’t be put off by it — I love it’s subtle crunch and tangy flavor. A vegetable peeler and ...
