I think one of the most frightening parts of a healing protocol is the time in the kitchen. I know before I went gluten free and then paleo, the recipes really intimidated me. It seemed like everything needed a million ingredients and a lot of different steps. My days of […]
WARNING: This granola is dangerously addictive! I literally had to hide it from myself and hubby. From myself so I wouldn’t go overboard, from hubby so there would be some left for me later on, teehee! What you Need: Coconut Flakes OR Tigernut Flakes – This recipe uses toasted coconut […]
If I had all the money I ever spent on Starbucks lattes, I would be a rich lady! Throughout university, I studied at the Starbucks in the library. Then while I was working, a Starbucks to-go was not unusual. Then when I had my first born and became a stay […]
One of the most crucial aspects to a real food healing diet is preparation. I’m not going to lie, healing protocols are not easy, they are hard work and it takes dedication. You spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals because chances are you’re not going to find any […]

I went through a phase in my high school days, when chocolate milk was an almost daily occurrence. I’d sit in the cafeteria, work on homework, and down a large chocolate milk. Once I graduated and went away to university, studying in Starbucks sipping on milk lattes happened way too frequently than my body needed, […]
When someone is on a healing diet, reframing the way we think about breakfast is absolutely necessary. Muffins filled with gluten and obnoxious amounts of sugar as well as that bowl of quaker oats are commonly replaced with leftover meat and veggies from the night before or a big bowl of soup. Why? Because our systems absolutely do better with a balanced morning meal […]
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 […]
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 […]
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’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. […]
