Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
As soon as June sets in, I am thinking of strawberries! And getting them fresh from the local farms! Although picking had started a couple weeks ago, I have been so busy with my nutritional coaching and my speaking engagements that I had not been able to go to the farms yet. Until today that […]
Brownies are a girl’s best friend! At least I used to think so when I was younger and pre-AIP 🙂 It is not funny how some foods that used to be your comfort for days when you were feeling a little low, get thrown outside the window when you embark on a healing diet. And worse […]
When it comes to the weather here in the North East, February is the worst month (in my opinion) because that is when we usually get the worst snow storms. Plus there are no holidays either! So its a tough month to get by! But then comes Valentine’s Day in the middle of the month […]
Did you say chocolate? Ooh lala ! Two of the hardest things to resist while on AIP for me have been coffee and chocolate! So imagine my happiness when earlier this year when in Vancouver, WA where I had gone to attend a workshop as part of my NTA curriculum, I came across Paleo chocolate […]
Thanksgiving being just around the corner, I am finally beginning to seriously plan out the menu. For me it’s double work because I have to plan for AIP alternatives for myself. For main course, it’s not much an issue since I pretty much try to cook everything paleo and /AIP. But when it comes to […]

The vegetable garden has been thriving! Well, not that I planted a lot this year – just a couple cucumber and zucchini since we were so so busy this spring. And then as soon as school vacation started we left for India. So with me gone away for almost a month, I did not want […]

What is it with desserts that even when your stomach is full, its hard to say no? As I am learning now in my Nutritionist training, we need to include good fats in our meals so that we not only get all the benefits of the fats but so that we feel satiated by the […]
