Bistro Chicken Salad with Garlic-Thyme Vinaigrette

  My favorite types of restaurants to eat in are small, local cafes and bistros that offer simple dishes with organic ingredients. These types of restaurants used to be quite hard to come by, but with the ongoing food revolution they have become easier to find! Even prior to starting Paleo and AIP, I almost always ordered salads when I was dining out. You get ...

Pain Management While on the Autoimmune Protocol

  Because NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) medications are a suggested elimination while on the Autoimmune Protocol, I often get questions asking for alternatives. While you may need to remain on these medications (especially if your doctor advises you to) during the elimination diet, others like myself have been successful at finding alternatives to managing pain. Why avoid NSAIDs while on the Autoimmune Protocol? NSAID medications cause ...

Baked Sweet Potatoes, with Sardines, Green Olives and Kale

  There’s nothing like a baked potato to evoke comfort and nostalgia, be it the quickest of lunches or the most leisurely of suppers. When I was growing up, my mother would often put potatoes cooked in their ‘jackets’ (as she called them) on the table, filled with whatever happened to be in the fridge and needed eating up at the time. Usually it would be something ultra simple ...

Breakfast Risotto with Greens

  This recipe is so yummy and so quick! I’ve been eating it a lot lately, ‘cause I just can’t seem to get enough. I think it’s something about the combo of the butternut squash “risotto” and the rainbow chard that is just so satisfying, but it’s also the herbs and spices that are added. They smell amazing while this dish is cooking. Add a ...

Shrimp Scampi

My husband loves shrimp. He’s Cajun, so that isn’t really a surprise. He keeps bugging me to make crawfish, too. Shellfish and I have something of a torrid past, as one of my earliest memories is getting violently ill at a seafood restaurant. I still have a hard time finding the smell of cooking shrimp appetizing, but I am coming around to the flavor. This ...
