No matter how you look at it, we NEED nutrients. For most of us, our bodies are compromised when it comes to absorbing nutrients (thanks to leaky gut), so what is the best approach? Nutrient Density. This is one of, if not the most, crucial part of any healing diet. You want to […]
Wouldn’t it be great if the chocolate eggs available at most stores leading up to Easter weren’t filled with corn syrup, but were filled with a natural healing ingredient instead? As a nutritionist student, I seriously dream about this day. I may not be able to buy this type of healing treat BUT I can make […]
I’ve always LOVED to bake. Creating healthy treats has always been my thing, I remember in high school, I made multiple attempts at creating ‘healthy’ baked goods, especially granola bars, I was kind of obsessed with granola bars. I never did create the ultimate healthy bar. If only I knew […]
Developing AIP treats sweetened with only fruits and vegetables has become a kind of passion of mine. I’m always so satisfied when I’m able to enjoy a sweet snack without worrying about my blood sugar levels skyrocketing. So when Samantha from Sweet Potatoes and Social Change asked me to guest post, I knew […]
At last, the treat recipe I’ve been working on with the Tigernut Butter 2.0. I was always a fan of the chocolate covered peanut butter balls , you know the ones you find at holiday gatherings in the assorted goodie plates? They would just melt in my mouth, AND spike my […]
As I was creating a little AIP holiday treat recipe for you all, I discovered the Tigernut Butter 2.0. My No Nut Tigernut Spread is still a fave of mine, and I know many of you enjoy it – it’s one of my most popular recipes! But, just wait […]

You all know how much I love my instant pot, right? It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, rice cooker, sauté-er, steamer, and warmer. It really is an amazing kitchen tool, and NOW there’s an incredible AIP cookbook specifically for the Instant Pot! Yahoo! I feel honoured to be a part […]
We live in Northern Ontario, so once fall hits, we know it won’t be long before winter begins and lasts, and lasts, and lasts. I DO enjoy the change of seasons though, and fall is one of my faves. I love that the weather cools off, but not too cool, […]
This Peach Plantain Cobbler is an easy grain free, paleo, and totes AIP compliant recipe. The plantain top is reminiscent of cornbread, not overly sweet and is the perfect compliment to the peach filling. One of my dreams is to taste a fresh peach immediately after being picked. We […]
Around ten years ago I had two wisdom teeth removed. I opted to only get two removed rather than all four, since it was possible I may have room in my mouth for the other two. Not the best decision I’ve ever made, because fast forward to today, I do […]
We’re getting back into the groove of things after spring break last week. We had a great week together, ice fishing, sleepover at Nana and Grandpa’s, swimming, playing with friends, and baking with Mom! Kids were happy with their week together, and this Mama was pooped out by the end. […]
