If I had to choose my favorite squash, it definitely would be the sweet, nutty delicata. Every time September rolls around, I am thrilled at the sight of this little guy’s reappearance at the farmer’s market. This is a vegetable that doesn’t need any fancy preparation – I most often eat it simply sprinkled with some fresh herbs and cinnamon. 4.3 from 6 reviews ...
I often get asked about what to do with the surplus of summer blackberries that pop up in yards across the country this time of year. Before I embarked on the autoimmune protocol, I would make blackberry pie at every summer’s end. This tradition ended, as I had not been able to come up with a suitable crust recipe. Recently, I came up with a ...
I came up with this colorful and delicious salad one day after harvesting all of these vegetables from my garden. You don’t have to use different varieties of beets, but I found that using a few different kinds created a vibrant plate. This time of year, I find myself looking forward to the cooler fall weather so that I can get back to my usual ...
With summer BBQ season in full swing, I thought I would share what I have been making as an addition to easily AIP-friendly grilled meats — nightshade-free BBQ sauce!

If you haven’t tried making pops at home before, they are fun and addictive. The only thing you need is a mold (I use this one) and some food-grade popsicle sticks. Definitely a worthy investment for making simple summer treats while ...
One of the first things to go crazy in my garden this year has been the arugula patch – no surprise, since it is actually a weed! Here I have paired it with some sweet dried figs and a creamy raspberry vinaigrette. I wouldn’t eat this as a meal on its own, but it is a fine addition to some grilled steak or chicken, or ...
I wanted to address something that has come up a lot lately. People stumble across this site as a result of a link or a Google search for natural ways to manage their autoimmune condition. They find out about the Autoimmune Protocol and dive right in, but are then unhappy when it doesn’t “work” after a week or two. This can be very confusing after reading ...
I found these baby artichokes while I was perusing my local Whole Foods — I was so inspired with their color, and how cute and little they were! I used to eat artichokes all the time when I lived in California, but have gotten out of the habit now that they are not as common here in Seattle. Baby artichokes are not just smaller ...
