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 […]
We live in Northern Ontario, so once fall hits, we know it won’t be long before winter begins and lasts, and lasts, and lasts. I DO enjoy the change of seasons though, and fall is one of my faves. I love that the weather cools off, but not too cool, […]
I am in love with wild sockeye salmon, in love, and with good reason! It is tasty, nutrient dense, and a huge component in my healing journey. I’m aiming to reduce inflammation, so it’s imperative that I up my omega 3 foods, like wild salmon. Wild salmon has a stellar […]
This Peach Plantain Cobbler is an easy grain free, paleo, and totes AIP compliant recipe. The plantain top is reminiscent of cornbread, not overly sweet and is the perfect compliment to the peach filling. One of my dreams is to taste a fresh peach immediately after being picked. We […]
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 […]
All my wisdom teeth are now gone! It went really well, no major flares. My hubby and parents were awesome helping out with the kids so I could get the rest I needed. I’ve been meticulous with my cleaning and mouth rinsing and everything seems to be healing well…except the […]
Around ten years ago I had two wisdom teeth removed. I opted to only get two removed rather than all four, since it was possible I may have room in my mouth for the other two. Not the best decision I’ve ever made, because fast forward to today, I do […]
