Delicious 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 MoreSeriously one of the best childhood remakes to date, better than any sloppy joe I ever remember eating as a kid. Granted my experience is pretty limited, being either the mystery sauce ina can or that familiar ol packet of dust that cost $.23 and a can of tomato sauce. I never recognized the flavor being that of barbeque, but I guess that's it's closest relative. I don't remember loving it as a kid, but that's all changed. A meal that was cringeworthy yet somehow also nostalgic has been reimagined into something that is delicious and packed with veggies that the whole family will beg for seconds!
Read MoreMushrooms are a good source of Vitamin D and many immune boosting varietals are becoming readily available all over. This soup is a delicious addition to your cold weather repertoire, can be made with any mushrooms, and is a delicious way to get even the pickiest kids to eat their mushrooms. Its loaded up with thyme which is also known for its antimicrobial properties and topped with loads of fresh parsley. Thrown together on a whim, this soup has quickly become a regularly made recipe this winter, especially now that we are all quarantined amidst the spread of Corona Virus.
Read MoreA family favorite year after year, comes together quickly and its something I’ve almost always got ingredients for on hand. Super easy to adapt for quick cooking in the Instant Pot!
Read MoreThese tortilla chips (or tortillas) come together quite quickly with just a few AIP friendly pantry staples. An excellent, easy answer when taco night calls and you’ve got no tortillas too. These started out as tortillas actually, but when we forgot one in the toaster oven we discovered that it made equally delicious chips. Works with either orange or white sweet potatoes.
Read MoreGuacamole is quickly the life of the party, can easily be dressed up (garnish queens, I see you) with LOADS of cilantro and shallot. Can be made spicy with the addition of wasabi paste. A must have for any taco night but also a great stand for mayo when you’re making wraps or sandwiches.

Read MoreNot your mom’s hamburger helper, this one pan meal is filled to the brim with tender squash and leafy greens. I tend to avoid ground beef in favor of other meats, but not anymore. I composed this dish after a recent trip to cliffs where I grabbed a pre-cut slab of this funny looking German Sweet Potato Squash (similar to a Banana Squash) Having no clue what to do with it and no inclination to go to the store for other ingredients I pulled this together with what we had on hand. Its become part of our weekly rotation because the whole family loves it…so much we rarely have leftovers.
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 MoreLebanese Toum, similar to an aoili, but without the addition of egg yolks, is perfect for anyone following the AIP. Loaded with tons of garlic and healthy fats, you can use toum anywhere you would normally use garlic. Toum is a wonderful condiment to roasted veggies, but also makes an amazing marinade for meat, fish and veggies; just toss or top before cooking. This recipe makes a large batch that is easily scaled down, but will hold for quite a long time in the refrigerator (if you can make it last that long, I sure can’t).
Read MoreMove over Pumpkin Spice Latte, there’s a new kid in town. Say goodbye to the sugar laden fall-favorite and give Golden Milk a try. Loaded with AIP compliant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory spices Turmeric, Cinnamon, Ginger and Cloves, its warming, but sure to be a year round favorite. This can quickly transform into a full meal with the addition of Grass-fed Butter, Collagen and Coconut Oil (or MCT Oil) .

Read MoreCream of Cauliflower soup is delicious as is or transformed to suit any flavor palate by adding a few of your favorite ingredients. Leeks. Mushrooms. BACON. Did I mention Bacon?!
