Thai Iced Tea Slushies

  As a kid, my go-to refreshment for hot summer days was always, always a slushie. From Sonic, usually. Strawberry, sometimes with ice cream mixed in. Oh, those were the days. As I grew up and began exploring cuisines outside the realm of fast food, my preferences changed. Once I was exposed to Thai Iced Tea, nothing else would do. With a bit of caffeine and ...

Lamb Meatballs in Roasted Root Sauce

  Everyone loves meatballs, am I right? Well, this recipe is a firm favorite in our house because it is so full of flavor and, it goes without saying, nutrient-rich as well. I much prefer using lamb — it is a little fattier and therefore the balls are more succulent but, of course, if you prefer beef or even chicken, then go ahead. You can ...

Strawberry Kale Salad

  Strawberries have become one of my favorite salad toppings for the Autoimmune Protocol. Like cherry tomatoes, they add strong flavor and a beautiful pop of color, and they pair well with just about anything. Basil is usually my go-to, but when I recently found myself with an overabundance of kale and bacon, it seemed like the perfect occasion for a strawberry salad. The dressing ...

Breakfast Fries with Bacon-Chive Crumble

  I woke up this morning craving a veggie-full hash but was in the mood for something a little more composed. I don’t have bacon often, but when I do I actually prefer to to be cooked and crumbled. This adds saltiness and crunch to the whole dish while the different textures of the sweet potato, zucchini and kale make for a super satisfying bite! ...
