Recipes for those on the AIP diet, like me!
Every family has recipes that play on repeat in their house. This is one of those in our house, frequently requested by the picky teenager. I was at a loss for what to call it. It’s not really a sauce, or a ragu. I had a fancier name for this recipe, but my family started … Continue reading Cow in a Nest
Now that the weather has warmed a bit (finally!), maybe you are ready for something lighter on your dessert plate. Assuming you have dessert. But of course you do. Because dessert. Anyway… In French, the word “parfait” means “perfect.” A little parfait after dinner is just the right amount of sweet to finish off your … Continue reading Blueberry & Lemon Cream Parfaits
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
Oh, how I have missed pasta on the AIP. You, too? There are many renditions of pasta-like things out there on the AIP, but nothing is going to beat what that nasty gluten molecule can do. Alas. That doesn’t mean we should cry into our pasta pot. We just have to adjust a bit. Here, … Continue reading Pumpkin Gnocchi & Lemon Sage Sauce
Only after a lot of genealogical exploration did I learn the extent of the Irish blood running through my veins. As if the green eyes, freckles and curly, reddish hair were not clue enough… 🙄 Anyway. My mom used to make a carrot soup from an Irish cookbook she had. I loved that soup, so … Continue reading Irish Carrot Soup
Maybe it’s the warmer weather. Maybe I’m missing the southwest where I lived for more than a decade. Or maybe it’s just because I had some jicama and an old plantain I needed to use up! 🤷🏼♀️ Whatever. In any case, I offer you this delish salad, which can stand by itself as a nutrient-dense meal, … Continue reading Southwest Spinach Salad
Baking on the AIP requires some serious alchemy. I mean, really. Baking without the benefit of eggs, sugar, or a gluten flour? As we say in the south, “I tell you what.” Nearly impossible. Nearly. 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

I mean, why not?! … Continue reading Carob-dipped Strawberries
