Want to know my fave kind of meals lately? Anything QUICK and EASY! I’ve been SO busy lately with work, school, fixing up our house, and of course our three kiddos. I really haven’t had much time for anything else these past few months (as you can probably tell by […]
Soup and Salads
Smoky Dill Cauli Rice Soup with Chicken and Kale
When I embarked on this autoimmune protocol healing journey, one of the foods I was afraid to live without were tomatoes. Tomatoes add so much flavour and colour to dishes, it’s hard not to mourn them a little when you give up nightshades. BUT once you realize it is possible […]
Creamy Cucumber Noodles with Shrimp (AIP/Paleo/Whole30)
When Ali from Empowered Autoimmune asked if I would do a guest post, I thought it would be fun to share a light, refreshing dish to take a break from all the indulging that goes along with the holidays! This dish is nutrient dense and easy to throw together. I […]
Creamy Cauliflower Leek Soup (AIP/Paleo/Whole 30)
It’s mid October and we’ve already had a snowfall. You know what this means, right? It’s official soup weather! When I first made this soup, I was just throwing things in a pot and hoping it would work out and taste good, because for the most part, that is how […]
Greek Kale Salad (AIP/ Paleo/ Refined Sugar-Free)
When I was in high school, I worked at a local coffee shop/lunch place. It was one of my all-time favourite jobs. I loved the coffee smell, seeing the regulars come in each morning, and I adored making the drinks and food. This coffee shop was not only popular for their coffee, […]
Green Breakfast Soup (AIP/Paleo/Sugar Free) and a Book Review!
I’ve always considered myself a healthy eater but it wasn’t until I started AIP, that I felt like I was actually healing. I had already seen improvements in my health by eating gluten and dairy free, so the thought of restricting further was difficult but I knew I had the […]
Avocado Pomegranate Salad (AIP/Paleo/Refined Sugar-Free)
I love pomegranates, they’re such a fun food, like nature’s version of Gushers. Remember those? Do they still make them? If they do, please don’t eat them… Eat pomegranate instead! The fruit gives you that burst of sweet tart juice, and a little crunch. You really can’t go wrong pairing […]
Spiralized Cucumber Shrimp Salad with Honey Lime Dressing (AIP/Paleo/Refined Sugar-Free)
Have I been MIA or what? I promise I haven’t abandoned Lichen Paleo! I’m even back with a summer salad recipe you do NOT want to miss. But first, let me give you a quick update on what I’ve been up to: 3 kids+summer = Mama cray cray Need I […]
Breathe Easy Salad (AIP/Paleo/Sugar Free)
Last week I was down with the flu, at least I think it was the flu. Whatever it was, it was awful, and this time I really mean awful and not offal! Fever, cold sweats, then horrible coughing for days…. Just awful! But as with everything in life, I try […]
Dill Beet Salad (AIP/Paleo/Sugar-Free)
I sent hubby to the store for a few beets and he came home with two five pound bags of beets! While thinking of beet recipes, I decided a dill beet salad would be a good way to use them up, because who doesn’t like salads and who doesn’t like […]
