Ginger Baked Salmon

  This is an easy and flavorful preparation of salmon that I make often. I like to pair it with a big salad or a veggie stir-fry with coconut aminos. It keeps for a few days in the refrigerator, so I usually make a large fillet and then eat it for breakfast or dinner in the following days. You can halve the recipe if you ...

Rainbow Roasted Root Vegetables

  Looking for a good way to get your root veggies in? This simple recipe can be adapted to use whatever roots you have on hand – any type of beet, carrot, sweet potato, yam, turnip, rutabaga, etc. Use whatever is freshest and most available to you. I like using a mixture of beets for color and flavor. 4.6 from 5 reviews Rainbow Roasted Root ...

Breakfast Inspiration For The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol

NOTE: Since this post was written, the AIP community has come out with an incredible ebook called 85 Amazing AIP Breakfasts with literally tons of breakfast recipes and inspiration. If you are still struggling with breakfast on AIP, be sure to check it out! I photographed most of my morning meals in the last couple of weeks so I could provide inspiration for those looking for breakfast ...

“Sick Soup”

  A few weeks ago, I was under the weather with my first fall cold and I made a giant batch of what is know in our house as “sick soup.” This soup started as a prescription for all manners of sick from my Traditional Chinese-Medicine doctor-friend. Whenever either my husband or I seem to be coming down with something, I cook up a quick ...

Food Reintroductions on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol

One of the biggest concerns with going on the autoimmune protocol is how long to stay on the diet and how to reintroduce foods systematically. The Paleo Mom has the most in-depth article out there on this topic, and my personal experience and research has lined up perfectly with what she recommends in her article. Here, I hope to answer some key questions as well ...

Bacon-Beef Liver Pâté with Rosemary and Thyme

One of the most potent superfoods available to us also happens to be off-putting, at least to those unfamiliar with it. It has amounts of notoriously hard-to absorb nutrients that those of us with autoimmune disease are usually lacking in – B vitamins, iron, zinc, and vitamins A and D. It took me a long time after reading about all of the benefits of liver ...

Low Stomach Acid and Autoimmune Disease

One of the recent topics I have covered in my coursework with the Nutritional Therapy Association is digestion. In the book Why Stomach Acid Is Good For You by Dr. Jonathan Wright, I have come across a lot of information that I believe is relevant to those suffering with autoimmune disease and dealing with digestive difficulties (considering leaky gut — probably all of us!). Here I will ...

Winter Kale Salad

This is a simple classic that I make weekly for my autoimmune protocol menu. Kale is one of the veggies that is available fresh year-round here in the northwest, and I like to make generous use of it. This salad is something that keeps well for a few days, and is great to have on hand to round out a meal with some veggies or ...
