Turkish Short Ribs

These delicious short ribs were really easy to make in the InstaPot. You could also use a stovetop pressure cooker. I browned the ribs, diced up the apricots and onions and added the spices. It took about 10 minutes to get into InstaPot! After they were finished cooking, I removed the ribs and used an…

Disease: The Wisdom Giver

Here is the bottom, bottom line. Your life is trying to wake you up to something through illness. It just is. So go there. I promise there is no downside to taking that positioning in life. Only wisdom. I live life in that place. That place of trust that life is waking me up…

Braised Artichokes with Crab and Cultured Ghee

As you all know, I love Cultured Ghee. This ghee is different than regular ghee which can contain traces of lactose and casein. Tin Star Cultured Ghee has been lab tested to be free of lactose and casein which is good news for those on AIP. Therefore, I allow all my AIP clients…

Coconut Lime Ginger Chicken

This recipe is really a spin of another great recipe I found on the website The Kitchnn. I wanted to make it AIP so I could try it and I knew with a few tweaks it would be awesome. And I will tell you it did not disappoint. Make this tonight. It is so…

Pork Burgers And Trusting Your Life

I was watching Arianna Huffington on OWN’s Super Soul Sunday recently. In the episode Arianna Huffington from the Huffington Post, shared a Rumi quote with Oprah: “Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor.” This touched me in a deep way because my own teacher said something almost identical a few years…

Many people want to know what the most effective form of stress reduction I recommend. The MOST effective stress…

Salmon Bacon Burgers

I have a food sensitivity to salmon. Back when I went to Bastyr in the late 90’s (I just really dated myself! ha!) I would eat salmon cream cheese on anything I could find. I craved it. But I soon developed an oozing, red rash on my chin and wondered what was causing it. At…

BBQ Chicken and Sauce!

If you miss BBQ Sauce raise your hand. I am raising both of my hands actually. The flavor profile of BBQ is so hard to re-create! No tomatoes, no mustard…I had made some attempts over this last year; all in vain. I kind of feel like if it isn’t good enough to really be a…

Fresh Turmeric Spinach with Avocado and Kumquats

Fresh Turmeric Spinach with Avocado and Kumquats This was lunch today. It was not a really fancy dish, but I wanted to share it with you because it is a great example of how eating Autoimmune Paleo does not have to be boring or dull. I buy turmeric at my local co-op when it…
