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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
It’s still winter here. Cold/flu season, stay in the house and watch movies kind of weather. Today was actually a snow day for my little man. He was thrilled to stay home, although, I did drag him along to playgroup with his sisters. He ended up having a ton of […]
