Coconut Yogurt in the Instant Pot (AIP, Paleo, GAPS, SCD, Keto)

Have you ever purchased coconut yogurt at Whole Foods or another grocery store? Oh my word, it’s expensive! Most of the store-bought coconut yogurts contain gums and various other ingredients that I try to avoid. That’s why I love making homemade yogurt using coconut cream and my Instant Pot. This Instant Pot coconut yogurt recipe is…

Pork Loin Stuffed with Bacon Orange Cherry Jam (AIP, Paleo, GAPS, SCD)

I’ve been at it in the kitchen working on another recipe using the Bacon Orange Cherry Jam which is one of six recipes I contributed to The Paleo AIP Instant Pot Cookbook. Have you ever made a pork loin? My mother used to make them occasionally (usually from a package swimming in “lemon pepper” marinade) but…

Sausage Dressing (Stuffing) with Apples, Dried Cherries and Chestnuts (Paleo, SCD, GAPS, grain free, dairy free option)

I promised to post some recipes for Thanksgiving. That being said, what is Thanksgiving dinner without dressing? (I don’t prefer to stuff my bird, (a little scared to try it) so we call it dressing around here, not stuffing.) Dressing is a personal thing. It differs as much as people do. Our favorite dressing includes…

Iced Coffee (Paleo, GAPS, SCD, dairy free, refined sugar free)

I want to thank a couple of friends (Marti and Charlotte) for telling me about the Pioneer Woman’s post for Perfect Iced Coffee. LIFE SAVER… As you might have read, we have a newborn in the house – thus the need for Mommy to have a little go-juice to help me get through the day. …

Chicken and Veggie “Alfredo” (Paleo, SCD, GAPS)

Though I’m a full-blooded Italian, I didn’t grow up eating Alfredo sauce. The only “white” sauce I remember my mom making was what she termed a “White Clam Sauce”. It was white in the sense that it wasn’t tomato based, but it wasn’t a cream sauce. Well, authentic or not, this Alfredo sauce is delicious. …

Beef Jerky (AIP, Paleo, with SCD, GAPS option)

I struggle with hypoglycemia, (blood sugar drops) and if you’re familiar with that, you know how important it is to keep blood sugars stable – which means it’s imperative to eat regularly (skipping meals is dangerous). Since going on the AIP (autoimmune protocol), it’s not like I can have a bag of nuts or pumpkin…

Mini Lemon “Cheesecake” with Gingered Date Crust (AIP, Paleo, GAPS, SCD, nut free, dairy free, refined sugar free)

Every once in awhile, things just come together in my universe. By this, I mean a craving for some long lost food I’ve become allergic to actually gets satisfied by a recipe developed with substitutions and much modification. Honestly, there’s no formula for this and, quite frankly, it doesn’t always work. For instance, in my…

Date Nut Balls (Paleo, SCD, GAPS, grain free, dairy free, refined sugar free)

(clockwise from top: chocolate, plain, cinnamon sugar, and unsweetened coconut) I’ve been looking for a healthy snack that my kidlings can just pop into their mouths when their tummies are growling – something I could make ahead and keep in the fridge, that would also be good for them. I came across this recipe accidentally. …

How to Make Ghee (Paleo, GAPS, SCD)

I love butter and if you knew how much butter we used to go through in any given week, you’d think I was related to Paula Deen. When our pediatrician, Dr. Julie Buckley, said that casein (a milk protein) was one of the most irritating proteins to the gut lining and we needed to eliminate it from…
