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 […]
Changing your diet is tough stuff! I know, trust me, I’ve done it, several times. There was a time when I ate ALL the things. However, each time I discovered how my body reacted to certain foods, I would change my diet. First to go was gluten and dairy, I […]
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’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 […]
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 […]
