White Chicken Chili

White Chicken Chili

This hearty White Chicken Chili is warming, creamy and comforting. This is perfect for Fall and a family favorite. I use Manchego because it is an A2 dairy sheep cheese, which is less inflammatory and frankly I can eat it. But for all of you […]

Sweet Potato Fries with Manjistha

Sweet Potato Fries with Manjistha

Having to avoid nightshades is frankly annoying.  Back in my pre-Hashimotos days when I was running 20-30 miles per week and cutting whole bags of jalapeños onto every meal I also enjoyed a nice fat burger with mushrooms, blue cheese and hot chips (French fries). […]

I have a small obsession with mint.  So does my whole family… so something like this would be dangerous if it were not so flipping healthy!  It takes only about 5 minutes to whip up and then you have to let it chill in the […]

Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies (keto, paleo, no coconut flour, vegan option)

Tahini cookies are a regular occasion in our home.  It took a while to bring my kids around to the flavor in place of peanut butter… but now they will eat them up with fervor.  These are a coconut free iteration of this recipe, and […]

Malted Maca Black Tahini Cookies (vegan)

Anyone who knows me or has hung around this blog long enough knows I am obsessed with tahini cookies.  It took me years to develop a cookie that had the chew, and texture of what I grew up knowing as a good and proper cookie.  […]

Fermented Guacamole (Nightshade-Free)

Fermented Guacamole (Nightshade-Free)

Who loves guac?!  Personally, I love guacamole… but I truly do not enjoy the speed at which I have to consume it so it does not turn brown.  Once in a while I will make fermented kefir guac which doesn’t brown, but I can no […]

Easy Instant Pot Bone Broth

This is my gut healing bone broth recipe.  It is very basic and does not have all the added veggies that many people choose to add to bone broth both because it keeps it clean for those who have inflammatory responses to a lot of […]
