I’m seriously in shock. While brainstorming on my entry for the Lovebird Bakeoff the idea kept coming back to my mind that I needed to stick to something that is completely AIP, because the holidays can get pretty lonely when you are foregoing all things processed foods, especially sugars.
Read MoreRemember waffles? The crispy fluffy vessels for butter and syrup…yeah me neither. Its been a hot minute since I had anything that resembled a real waffle. I got burned out on trying all of the best AIP waffles only to have them fall flat in all their soggy shame. Sometimes I try to tweak an existing recipe until it suits my taste, but didn’t feel like I’d gotten anywhere and kind of gave up. Well that is, until recently when I just happened to blend the right mix of flours while trying to achieve something else (which was a total flop btw) but the super crisp drip off the pan got me thinking, lets try to waffle this, and the rest is history. These waffles, like a true buttermilk waffle, are super crisp on the outside, even after they’ve sat on the counter for a few minutes. They freeze excellently and come back to life in the toaster. Real food eggo’s, thats something I can get behind.

Read MoreI took a poll over on instagram, the biggest recipe request my AIP folks have is Mashed Potatoes, and as an Idahoan I totally get it! When you go from russett potatoes to sweet potatoes (not to be confused with yams, you can read more about the difference in this great Serious Eats article)
Read MoreA compliment to both poultry and pork, nobody’s holiday table should go without Cranberry sauce- and I’m not talking about that nasty stuff pushed out of the can- I’m talking slow simmered, spicy, jammy tart goodness. I’m here to tell you that cranberry sauce isn’t something that should be reserved for turkey day, its something that can be enjoyed year round!
Read MoreI am so stoked on how this turned out, it took a bit of relentless tweaking to get the custard to set just as I had remembered it, but I think I finally nailed it (I’m sorry that I’ve been sitting on this recipe for TWO YEARS thinking I had already published it. Insert facepalm here. Better late than never right?! If you’re missing pumpkin pie reminiscent of what grandma used to make I urge you to give this filling a try with your favorite crust. Its rich and silky, yet firm…all without the use of eggs, cream or refined sugar.
Read MoreDelicious as a breakfast main or a dinner side, comes together in a snap. If you pre-cook sweet potatoes and bacon crumbles on “prep-day” you’re basically building the dish as it reheats and crunching frozen kale over the top—how simple is that?!
Read MorePacked with all the delicious flavors of fall. The sweet potato is easily swapped out for any hard winter squash that you might have on hand. This recipe makes a lot, as any veggie side should, perfect for the holidays or leftovers for meal prep.
Read MoreQuick and easy preparation makes this dish perfect for a weeknight meal! The chimichurri comes together in a flash, the shrimp cooks while you assemble the slaw and the dishes practically clean themselves. Seasonally versatile as it can be thrown on the grill or under the broiler. Using fresh or frozen fruit, pineapple or mango, means you can have it whenever you want, customized to your taste!
