Maple-Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes

  What kinds of foods do you think of when you think of November? Pumpkin pie, probably. Stuffed turkey and mashed potatoes. Cider or mulled wine, something warm and autumnal to fight off the cold. For a lot of people, candied yams or sweet potatoes covered in brown sugar, butter, and marshmallows were always a staple. These Maple-Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes are my Autoimmune Protocol-friendly answer ...

3 Ways to Combat Low Stomach Acid and Support Digestion Naturally

Five years ago, I wrote a blog post called Low Stomach Acid and Autoimmune Disease, and it continues to be one of the most-read articles on this site. No wonder, because low stomach acid has huge implications for both regular folks as well as those of us with autoimmune disease.

Spiced English Pear Trifle

  You could divide the English nation over the subject of the trifle. Whether or not to add jelly (that’s jello to my North American friends) to be more specific. A poll in the Guardian newspaper some time ago found that 62% said yes to jelly, and they speculated that the posher you are, the less likely you are to agree (unless you are so ...

Simple AIP Mediterranean Bowls

  The cuisine of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea is phenomenal!

  This month I wanted to share with you a recipe for “roasties” which is what we call big trays of roasted vegetables in my house. I know you don’t need a recipe for roasted carrots or parsnips or sweet potatoes. We’ve all got those nailed down, right? Instead, I’m sharing a unique recipe using golden beets which are popping up in grocery stores and ...

Boundaries: A Prerequisite for Compassion and a Tool For Healing

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the value of boundaries lately. There are a whole slew of reasons for this—but suffice it to say that a couple of situations in my life were depleting me for a few weeks. The common denominator? I needed to get honest with myself and set some new, healthy boundaries around work and in relationships. Boundaries are a ...

Herbed Beef Stew with Carrots and Celeriac

When I picked up an Instant Pot, my cooking routine changed forever — long gone were the afternoons of spending hours “checking in” with a slowly simmering pot of stew on the stovetop. Now I can execute a fully tender, nourishing stew in less than an hour and a half, which is a huge win in my book! This recipe is the current iteration of a ...
