One of the most common questions I get asked is “How much fruit should I include on the Autoimmune Protocol?”. Just having completed the 21 Day Sugar Detox, I have a renewed perspective on the role of sugar in the form of fruit in my diet. The answer isn’t simple, so I thought I would dedicate a post to it. First off, fruit itself is ...
Fruit and the Autoimmune Protocol
Early Spring Salad with Grapefruit and Ginger Vinaigrette
Ever since I did the 21 Day Sugar Detox, I have been eating a lot more grapefruit, as I kind of forgot how delicious they are! Lately I have been making this simple salad with other ingredients that are plentiful in early spring–arugula and fennel. I’ve paired it with a simple ginger vinaigrette to make a easy, fresh, and seasonal accompaniment to a protein of ...
Garlic Rosemary Plantain Crackers
Looking for something to satisfy the crunchy craving while on the Autoimmune Protocol? I have been obsessed with these plantain crackers from The Paleo Mom ever since I discovered the recipe last year. Many variations have been born out of her original recipe, and today I’d like to share my favorite combination thus far—garlic and rosemary! Plantain crackers make a wonderful vehicle for any ...
Magic “Chili”
One of the recipes I get the most comments and praise about on this site is my AIP Carrot and Sweet Potato “Chili”. Most people love it because the ingredients are simple, it’s easy to make, and it tastes amazing! Seriously, if you haven’t tried it, you are missing out. I was thinking though, that it would be fun to add to the nightshade-free chili family ...

I always have at least one type in my freezer for easy meals. If you feel like your time on the autoimmune protocol has you acting like a slave to the kitchen, let me change your life–make a batch of ...
MTHFR? MTWhat?
I have been promising to write about MTHFR for a loooong time now. I know some in my audience have been waiting for months. I’m going to be really, really honest here . . . I have struggled with how to approach this topic more than any other topic I’ve ever tackled on this blog. I was less afraid to write about infertility, despite it ...
Cream of Broccoli Soup
This time of year I am always creating new soups and stews, both because they are a great way to get more bone broth into the diet and they are hearty and satisfying on a cold day. This is a simple recreation of Cream of Broccoli soup, autoimmune protocol style–I use rutabaga, a often overlooked winter root vegetable and coconut milk to add creaminess to a ...
Busting The Goitrogen Myth
One of the questions we are frequently asked on our Facebook page as well as the comments here on the blog is “Aren’t you worried about eating goitrogens with autoimmune thyroid disease? My (insert alternative health practitioner here) told me that if I eat them, they will cause a goiter!” A lot of people out there are living in fear of eating nutritious foods like broccoli, ...
