These salted caramel pumpkin spice bites are no-bake, paleo, and completely AIP compliant! They also make a well balanced snack as they include both healthy fat and collagen protein! It’s that time of year again, when everyone goes crazy over pumpkin! You didn’t think I’d let fall go by without […]
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 […]
Before I started AIP, I had known about the healing benefits of bone broth, but I was reluctant to make it and drink it. Just the name kind of grossed me out, I felt it had an ick factor. BUT once I tried it, I discovered there was nothing icky […]
We had a blast on our trip to Toronto. It’s always fun visiting the big city! I REALLY enjoyed eating healthy takeout, because my options are very limited here. I was introduced to all the bowl meals! I mean, I knew they were popular but I had no idea […]
Filled with vitamins, minerals, and fiber that our bodies need, a variety of plentiful vegetables is imperative when it comes to healing. I like eating vegetables a variety of ways but I LOVE me some roasted veggies. I will often simply toss chopped veggies with avo oil and salt and roast them in […]
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, […]
A couple weeks ago, I took over the Autoimmune Paleo Instagram. This was my second time doing so, and both times have been a wonderful experience. It has given me the opportunity to give back a little to the community I’ve learned SO much from AND I get to connect […]
Some people keep a pound or two of liver in their freezer… this girl, she keeps 8-10 lbs! A few weeks ago, I accidentally left our freezer door slightly open. It stayed open for close to 24 hours. Luckily, the only items that had defrosted were beef liver. It could have been WAY worse – everything […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
