Wendi's AIP Kitchen

TWO recipes in one day?  And why ever not? 😀 This recipe goes with AIP Chicken Tenders for dunking, but it stands alone as a ranch salad dressing and a dip.  (It thickens when refrigerated.)  FANTASTIC with cassava chips!  Now, I love real ranch dressing with buttermilk as much as you do, but that’s a no-go … Continue reading AIP Ranch Dressing/Dip

If you’ve ever missed fast food, or you are dreaming of picnics now that it’s spring, or you have children, here’s one for you.  Chicken tenders!  These are crunchy, thanks to plantain chips in the breading.  Sure, it won’t be exactly like KFC, but it will be much, much healthier.  For dipping, I’ve made an … Continue reading AIP Chicken Tenders

But because I love you, I’ve conjured up this recipe that I hope will satisfy your hankering for a little baked something. … Continue reading Banana Carob Swirl Muffins

I’ve always loved soup, and Italian Wedding Soup is one of my faves.  But how to make it AIP?  The meatballs usually have breadcrumbs in them, and the soup usually has pasta in it.  (Oh, pasta.  How I miss thee… 😩)  The meatballs are fine without breadcrumbs, and I have replaced the pasta with……..drum roll, … Continue reading AIP Italian Wedding Soup
