Want to know my fave kind of meals lately? Anything QUICK and EASY! I’ve been SO busy lately with work, school, fixing up our house, and of course our three kiddos. I really haven’t had much time for anything else these past few months (as you can probably tell by […]
When Ali from Empowered Autoimmune asked if I would do a guest post, I thought it would be fun to share a light, refreshing dish to take a break from all the indulging that goes along with the holidays! This dish is nutrient dense and easy to throw together. I […]
There’s just something about gift giving that brings me so much joy. It’s not just the giving part, although that always makes me feel good. BUT it’s the entire process of choosing just the perfect gift for someone. It involves thinking about the recipient’s personality, likes, dislikes, what they are […]
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 […]

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 […]
If you haven’t read part 1 of my health journey, you can find it here. It started out as a small tear. I noticed it was taking a long time to heal and it was quite itchy. I went to my MD who referred me to a gynaecologist. The gynaecologist […]
Last week I was down with the flu, at least I think it was the flu. Whatever it was, it was awful, and this time I really mean awful and not offal! Fever, cold sweats, then horrible coughing for days…. Just awful! But as with everything in life, I try […]
YOLO! I know when most people think of food and the term YOLO, they aren’t thinking about a restrictive diet and nomming on organ meat. It’s more like “I’m going to eat this bowl of pasta because…. YOLO!” Or “I indulged in way too much ice cream, but…YOLO!” Now I’m […]
