Being prepared is the key to success on AIP, or any real-food healing diet. When I started AIP, I was home, Mommin’ full-time. I randomly batch cooked freezer meals to have on hand. I never had specific days or a specific amount of food to make, I just did it whenever I felt […]
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 […]
There was a time when I thought there was no way in hell I’d EVER give up coffee. Everything that I had read about autoimmune disease recommended eliminating coffee, but surely there had to be another way? I’d honestly go to bed at night and think about the coffee I […]
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 […]
Christmas is around the corner – doesn’t it always sneak up on us like that? We’re in the midst of Christmas decorating and Christmas shopping (woohoo cyber Monday today). I have an idea of what AIP food I’ll be making, my buttertarts are most definitely on my baking list – they […]
Although I’m a stay at home Mom, life has been feeling VERY hectic lately. Most of my days usually go something like this: wake up, make breakfast for my kids, prepare school lunches for Seth and Demi (my two eldest), make sure kids get dressed, brush their teeth, do Demi’s […]
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 […]
I feel like I’ve had way too many colds lately. I really haven’t been getting the sleep that my body needs due to a two year old waking up in the middle of the night. Every. Single. Night. So Mama’s system and energy is running on low and I’m catching […]
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 […]
I’m going back to school. What will I be studying you ask? Well, I bet you already have a pretty good idea. It has to do with food and health, both topics I am extremely passionate about! I am officially a student at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. I am becoming a holistic nutritionist. When […]
