Something special from Mandy's kitchen...
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 …
A second round of food re-introductions is under my belt! I successfully welcomed back hemp seeds and almond butter into my life! Almond butter never tasted so good! You might start to recognize a pattern here, as everything I re-introduce tastes like heaven. I literally …

When one cannot enjoy dairy or gluten, one would think one would not be able to indulge in pizza. However, I stand to correct that false supposition. Gluten-free crusts and dairy-free cheeses have made the beloved pizza universally available to all, even to those with …
