Paleo banana bread
As you will start to notice in my recent blog posts, I have been experimenting more with grain-free cooking and baking. I have found that as much as I love grains, my body tends to feel better when I eat less of them, so I …

Cauliflower gnocchi
I’m back! I know it’s been a minute since I last posted, but life has been, well….full. Full in the most positive sense, in that time has become one difficult-to-find and very precious thing. And full in the sense that I am continually being abundantly …
Tomatillo Salsa
Tomatillos, those strange, green, tomato-like things you may have seen at the grocery store. They’re actually not related to the tomato plant, but rather they are a member of the gooseberry family. Most of us steer clear of these goblin fruits in fear of not …
Carrot top hummus
Carrot tops. Yes, it’s a thing. They’re the bushy greens that grow from the tops of, you guessed it, carrots! And you better believe they’re edible and just as flavorful that those orange roots themselves! But what do you do with carrot tops? Make hummus! …

Strawberry-rhubarb jam
We’ve been receiving rhubarb every week in our CSA share, and quite frankly, I hope the end to this season’s rhubarb crop is in near sight! There’s only so much you can do with rhubarb! For the first week’s CSA delivery we made balsamic-roasted rhubarb …
Bean and turnip stew
If a turnip were a grade school kid on the playground, he would be the last picked for the kickball team every time. Perhaps though it’s because he may look unassuming on the outside, but holds much potential deep within, if only he were given …
Quinoa salad and red chard
So, I know I haven’t blogged since my last AIP recipe. I guess I haven’t really made anything super new and exciting lately. I was so excited to get back into eating my usual staples, that I set aside my innovativeness for comfort. I’ve been …
AIP sweet potato gratin
So, I didn’t post last week, and this week’s post will probably be my last post about my AIP journey. I rushed through stage three and didn’t quite get through all of the basic foods to reintroduce before moving on to stage four. Then I …
