I love ramen noodles, I’m talking about the those prepackaged noodles that are dirt cheap. I know you have seen them and probably ate them once in your life. Those were my go-to meal when I was hungry but didn’t have an appetite or when I was hungry and just didn’t know what I wanted to…
Let’s Talk
The 4th month of 2017 is going to start in a few days and this year so far has proven to be a very difficult year for my health. I thought I was getting this autoimmune thing under control, the symptoms were getting better, not 100% yet but I was not running on empty. On…
Thyme Butter Chicken
Sometimes you just want a quick and simple meal. Nothing too complicated or time consuming. I for one don’t like coming home after a work day to slave in the kitchen. I like coming home, cook a quick meal and spend sometime with my tiny family (my yorkie likes to cuddle). So this recipe is one of…
Tacos
Who doesn’t like tacos? I absolutely love them, you can make them with pretty much anything, chicken, beef, turkey, pork, or meatless. There is nothing complicated about tacos, that is if you don’t have any food restrictions. But if you are like me, someone with a laundry list of things I cannot have or should…
Hello
It has been a while since I posted anything, about 3 months! A lot has happened since, mainly I went back to work. I started at a new place in October, hence my absence here. It has been a struggle to adjust. All those with an autoimmune disease know that food is the key to recovery. I…
Ginger Honey Glaze Pork Chops
I am thinking of making these pork chops again. They came out so good and they are so easy to make. Who says AIP/Paleo has to be hard or complicated! Ginger Honey Glaze Pork Chops Ingredients 4 boneless pork loin chop 3 tbsp minced ginger 4 garlic, minced 1/4 cup of honey 1/3 coconut amino…
Progress
Dealing with an Autoimmune Disease is a struggle. You can be following the strictest diets, taking all your supplements, keeping as active as possible (when you have the energy to move) and you just when you think you’re almost out of the woods, you start feeling sick again! Whatever you do, remember that giving up…
Breakfast Egg Muffin
My husband is a high school physical educator and a coach of two sports. He usually wakes up at 4:30 am and it’s out the door before I’m up. So to make sure he has something to eat in the morning I have made him some delicious breakfast egg muffins 🙂 The best thing about…
Cuban Chicken
Hosting friends and family is one of my favorite things. I love having people over, cooking a delicious meal and making memories. This weekend we had some of our dear friends and their cute little baby. We decided it would be a good idea to share a little taste of Cuba with them 🙂 I…
Tortillas!
What is a week without Taco Tuesday and what is a taco without tortillas? I can’t have flour tortillas because of the gluten and I can’t have corn tortillas because of the grains. So what is a girl to do? Find a paleo friendly tortilla that’s what. Ideally this would be a AIP friendly but…
Coconut Concentrate
Sometimes I feel that following an AIP/Paleo diet is a bit overwhelming. It’s not like you can go to the store and pick up AIP friendly items. Going to the grocery store sometimes its a hassle, not reading the labels is not an option for me. And as a rule of thumb, I stick to…
Olive-Avocado Dressing
I have cravings. Sometimes I crave a juicy burger or a slice of pizza and other times I crave a really good salad. But what is a salad without dressing? It just doesn’t taste the same and most dressings out there have ingredients I can’t have. No salad should be left naked, unless that’s how…
