AIP Cookbook Review + Pork Chops

When I initially started on this AIP pathway of mine – I’ll admit that I lost a little part of me. My joy of cooking. I was overwhelmed with the changes and “strictness” of the protocol, and my “feeling sorry for myself” attitude didn’t help matters. However, finding this website and purchasing this book gave me back that little piece of joy I was missing. It made me want to skip back into my kitchen and play, and in fact that first night I brought it home, I couldn’t wait to hit the shops and pick up the ingredients ……

AIP Winter Salad

When I make a salad, I want it to be the main meal. The star. I never want to be hungry after eating one and I don’t ever want to be left feeling empty, pathetic and deprived (ok, maybe a little dramatic, but you get my drift).

So over the years, I’ve develop a few basic “rules” when it comes to making my salads . . .

HOW TO: Apple Sauce

Am I right in saying that so many "healthy" recipes these days are sweetening their cakes/muffins with applesauce?

So what to do when getting your hands on organic apple sauce with NOTHING ELSE ADDED is harder than you think . . .

Vitamin D + Roast Prawns

So we recently chatted about fat-soluble vitamin A and how if you want your body to absorb all of the brilliant benefits this vitamin provides, then you had to consume it with fat. Fact!

Today, it's all about vitamin D . . .

Vitamin A + Poached Tuna

One of the main reasons my body is now thriving since embracing fat, I believe, is since I now include a good source of it with every one of my meals, my body’s now able to absorb all those wonderful and essential fat-soluble vitamins that I went for years (even decades) without absorbing. They’re not called fat-soluble vitamins for nothing - and they say nutrient deficiencies can lead to autoimmune disease…..hello Hashimoto’s!!!

AIP: Banana Bread

Cake. Yes, it is possible to be on AIP and eat your cake too.

Being a lover of baking cakes, making the decision to try the Autoimmune Protocol left me feeling deprived and depressed. Was I ever going to eat cake again? Or more to the point, was I ever going to grease a pan, whip up a batter and bake a cake again?

Cranberries

Cranberries. Did you know the nutrients found in cranberries have been linked to a lower risk of urinary tract infections, improved immune function and decreased blood pressure?

No wonder they're eaten in abundance at Christmas time!
