Who doesn’t love a taco? And with sweet and salty braised short ribs how could you not? I love short ribs not only because of their affordability but the collagen content can’t be beat. They are perfect for braising and will give you a nice unctuous bite of tender and juicy meat. The acidic and bright quick pickled vegetables are the perfect counter to cut through the fatty richness that is short ribs.
Read MoreThere’s something special about the crisp air and colder days that really brings out the Basic B in me. The minute the leaves start falling and I break out the winter coat I start hoarding hard winter squashes like it is going out of style. Partially because they’re so pretty to look at when you get a variety and use them as fall decorations, but primarily because if you store them well enough ( a wire crate in the garage near the back door is perfect) they will last you until the farmers markets resume in the spring provided you don’t eat them all before then! It sure seems like every year I buy a few more than the last just to make sure my supply doesn’t run out prematurely.
Read MoreI’ll be the first to admit that London Broil ( aka top round) has never been one of my favored cuts of meat, even as a broke newlywed. It’s on the tough side, its not incredibly flavorful like other cuts might be, and it’s very prone to being downright terrible if you cook it wrong, but I’m not kidding when I say this method will give you foolproof results every single time.
Read MoreThese Grain-Free and totally AIP elimination phase friendly biscuits are fabulous with jam, a schmear of ghee or even sausage gravy, but I thought why not sweeten them up a bit and top them with some roasted strawberries and creamy coconut whip and boy was I not wrong. It was absolutely delicious and approved by the whole family.
Read MoreSay what?! A crispy, crunchy granola that is free of all the things? Yeah, you read that right. Nut-free, seed-free, grain-free and made without refined sugars. Perfect for topping your yogurt or just snacking by the handful.
Read MoreI took a poll over on instagram, the biggest recipe request my AIP folks have is Mashed Potatoes, and as an Idahoan I totally get it!

Read MoreQuiche isn’t just for breakfast, it’s great as a make ahead lunch or dinner too, just pair it with a simple side salad and you’ve got a light and tasty meal that takes little time or effort.
Read MoreNot your mom’s bruschetta. I don’t even know if I would truly call this a bruschetta because I think its on a whole other level. The addition of the halloumi cubes near the end of cooking provides a nice bit of vegetarian friendly protein making this a well balanced snack. I don’t even enjoy tomatoes and I’d totally eat this again.
Read MoreJuicy roast chicken isn't just for weekends anymore. A few minutes of prep time can cut your cook time nearly in half.

Read MoreForever compulsively buying the freshest in-season produce and trying to figure out what to do with it before it goes bad. Porks sweetness pairs naturally with the peaches that are all the buzz at the market right now. The creamy cheesy grits provide balance to the tangy mustard and balsamic sauce.
Read MoreSometimes life calls for a fancy meal, other times it calls for something simple, but done well. A nice thick and hearty reverse seared steak is the best of both worlds; it’s unbelievably simple, yet tastes so decadent because the flavors of the steak are allowed to be the star of the show.
Read MoreThis meal feels like spring on a plate, perfect for a brunch entree or early dinner, and ingredients readily available at the farmers market right now. Pork loin and tenderloin get a bad rap for being dry and flavorless, but we’re on a mission to change that. This is so tender and juicy it melts in your mouth and cuts like butter. Prepare the eggs, asparagus and dressing ahead of time if if you desire, it will keep for about 3-4 days.
Read MoreWhat’s better than toasty bread? I’ll wait…That’s right, not much! These bagels are a hybrid between a traditional NY style bagel you’d find in a Jewish delicatessen and one of those over simplified weight watchers bagels that rose to Pinterest fame years ago. Honestly the closest thing I’ve had to AIP bread I’ve ever had. I’ve tried the mix and found the bagels to be on the flat side, and very doughy…maybe I’m just bad at directions, I dunno. They kind of scratched the itch, but not all the way.

Read MoreA compliment to both poultry and pork, nobody’s holiday table should go without Cranberry sauce- and I’m not talking about that nasty stuff pushed out of the can- I’m talking slow simmered, spicy, jammy tart goodness. I’m here to tell you that cranberry sauce isn’t something that should be reserved for turkey day, its something that can be enjoyed year round!
