One of the meals I really tend to miss on the autoimmune protocol is a warming bowl of chili. Unfortunately, traditional chili is not very autoimmune protocol friendly, being chock full of nightshades, beans, and dairy. It never occurred to me until recently that I could mimic the texture of tomatoes with carrots and sweet potatoes. This recipe is nothing like a traditional chili, since it doesn’t have any of the characteristic nightshade and seed spices. It does fit the bill well enough though, and I have found myself making it more often when the weather is cold and I’d like to batch cook something for the week.

Layers of chocolate, pecans, and coconut over a cookie crust!

An alternative to popular steamed asparagus, served with a tangy lemon dressing for a great appetizer or side!

Why not use portobello mushroom caps as bases for these delicious chicken mini pizzas!

A refreshing twist on cauliflower rice, this version offers a zesty lemon flavor and healthy dose of fats.

Here’s an Italian classic that needs no adaptation to make it paleo.There are plenty of everyday meals that are paleo and many people don’t realize it. Broccoli rabe and sausage is one of them. Luckily for you it’s also an Italian dish. A lot of IBD sufferers say that broccoli brothers them. Yes, this leafy cousin of broccoli is packed with fiber, but for some reason it doesn’t bother me as much. Broccoli rabe (AKA rapini) is in the Brassicas family – with Brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc - and may trip up digestion a bit. And by ”trip up” I mean make you fart a lot. So for those of you UC/Crohn’s people who don’t want your stomach to blow up the size of a Macy’s day parade balloon…tread lightly. MANGIA!

These Blondies are full of delicious flavor, the blending the coconut, pecan and coconut oil gives these a subtle caramelized flavor. They come out of the oven moist and chewy with a pecan in every bite.

This is so simple I'm ashamed to call it a "recipe"

An easy recipe that I made to get rid of leftovers but turned into a consistent favourite!

It's hard to mess up ribs... but here's a recipe anyway.

My attempt to paleo-ize a childhood favourite!

This recipe includes bacon so watch your salivary glands while reading. It may put them in overdrive. This is a very easy recipe to make and goes with a lot of meals. The hardest part (which isn’t hard at all) is simply chopping all the ingredients. Then you just throw them in the pan. It’s so easy a caveman could do it. Sorry, I had to. Serving suggestions: As a side dish to pork tenderloin. With sausage and eggs at breakfast. Or straight from a bowl. MANGIA!

All the flavors of your favorite spicy chicken wings in an easy dip.

Save that fat - it is delicious. Pour it into a heat-safe container and store in the fridge until you want something to taste extra good by cooking with it. Once the bacon is all cooled off, I wrap up two slices at a time in paper towels and store them in the fridge for later. To reheat, pop the paper towel bundled bacon in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. My super awesome microwave from the 1980s in the rental property where I live doesn't have a digital display, but I assume it was around that long since that's about how long it takes to reheat in a microwave that shouldn't be kicked off a cliff. I like doing this on the weekend because by Wednesday it's like hell yeah, I have bacon.
