In preparation for Thanksgiving I thought I would test out smoking a whole chicken before trying a huge turkey and possibly ruining the holiday. Smoking this chicken was a total success! My kids loved it. The only negative…was that I should have smoked two of them, as there were ZERO leftovers! Print AIP Smoked Whole…

I’ve gone and done it now! I’ve somehow managed to convince my 14 year old that AIP is awesome! How you ask? Orange chicken. It’s one of those binge worthy teenage foods and I’m glad I made a triple batch of this because this kid went back for 4 helpings, and then licked his bowl!…

When it gets hot here in sunny Arizona, normally the kids are looking to do just about anything to stay cool. I’m looking for just about anything to keep them away from the TV and having fun without spending bank. This recipe just so happened to come out of one of those days. Kyra had…

I love cheating the system! Cooking on the cheap is my jam. I picked up a few whole chickens when they were on sale for about $6 each…I was ecstatic! But, given that it is currently 108 outside, slow roasting a chicken just really isn’t an option right now. BRING ON THE INSTAPOT! I was…

I love me some gravy. It screams comfort food! This recipe is quick and really easy! I used duck fat as my fat base and if you haven’t tried it yet, you MUST. It gives such a rich flavor profile. The amount of seasoning you will need will honestly depend on the beginning flavor of…

Beef stroganoff is about one of my all time favorite meals. It was what I used to ask my mom to make for my birthday dinner, nearly every year. Creamy, mushroom-y, noodle-y goodness. Well, fast forward and, I was trying to come up with something that brought me back to those flavors…but, doing it in…

Most of you know my love for soup, if you don’t, just know-it’s one of my love languages (tacos are another). While lobster bisque isn’t necessarily a budget friendly recipe, it is one of those recipes that will wow even your non-AIP friends and family. It’s rich, creamy and oh so delicious. We paired it…

If you’re looking for something to make your skeptic non-AIP friends and family-THIS is a great one. It may seem a bit labor intensive, but, if you already have the chimichurri sauce made and the horseradish prepared, it comes together pretty quickly. My kids all devoured this and they had no idea they were eating…

I feel like this is almost too easy to type up, but, sometimes it’s nice to have it written up to share with new peeps that are still learning. This is a great base to a ton of different sauces, marinades and fillings. Once prepared, this will store in the fridge for about a month,…

I love sauces and marinades, especially when they’re easy! This one uses Kale, so, it’s just one more way I’m sneaking in nutrient rich foods into my kids’ diet. #winning! So far, I’ve used this inside stuffed chicken, over a breakfast hash and later today, I plan on thinning some out with some more EVOO…

Words I love: Quick, cheap, easy, fast! I love making this for so many reasons, its comfort food goodness and my entire family loves it. I have made this numerous times for get togethers with non-AIP friends and they love it too! Sometimes AIP recipes can get a bit carried away with the ingredient list-this…
