My go-to way to cook a roast has been in a pressure cooker as of late, mostly because it is a quick way to transform a cheap hunk of meat into a delicious meal. There is something about what a slow and steady braise adds to the flavor of the meat that cannot be replicated in that method, however. Here is the recipe I use ...
Citrus and Herb Pot-Roast with Carrots and Parsnips
Radish and Jicama Tabbouli
As a vegan, I would make batches of hummus and tabbouli often. When I ditched the beans and grains, that no longer happened, and they were two dishes that I greatly missed. This week I was inspired to attempt an AIP-friendly version of tabbouli with radishes and jicama instead of the grains. It is light, crunchy and refreshing and a great way to get some ...
Mickey’s Recovery – Part II
If you are starting here, you might want to read Mickey’s story, parts I, II, and III, and her recovery part I. When we left off, I had managed to recover enough to get a part-time job. I was still very much sick and tired, but had a small window of energy every day and figured that it would be best if I started using that for work. ...
Mickey’s Recovery – Part I
If you are starting here, you might want to read Mickey’s story, parts I, II, and III. Once I found the “thyroid book” by Dr. Kharrazian, I knew that there was much more to my Hashimoto’s that I didn’t know and I would hopefully be able to find some help.

Jicama, Pear, and Mint Salad with Citrus-Ginger Dressing

I happened to be in a grocery store I don’t shop at often, and was reminded of jicama, a vegetable I used to buy all the time. Here I use it to make a crunchy salad with a little added sweetness from ...
Mickey’s Story – Part III
If you are starting here, you might want to read part I and part II. Right after getting my Hashimoto’s diagnosis from my naturopath, he advised me to go on this expensive smoothie cleanse/elimination diet. It consisted of a meal replacement powder that you ramp up for 3 weeks, eventually replacing all of your meals with it and then weaning off of it. In conjunction, ...
Mickey’s Story – Part II
So when we left off, I was happily living as an asthma-free vegan in Colorado. I thought I was super healthy with my new diet and had discovered outdoor sports. After about six months, however, something happened that I had never encountered before. I stopped getting my period. The first missed period, I barely noticed. The second and third really got my attention. So I ...
Mickey’s Story – Part I
My health journey started as a child growing up with severe asthma. I never left the house without my set of inhalers, and was unable to participate in P.E. or school sports without having an attack. Fortunately I discovered horseback riding, a non-aerobic passion that would pacify my desire to do things like play volleyball or be on the swim team. My youth was characterized ...
