Grant loves, loves, LOVES these brisket tacos. They’re sweet, tangy and super addicting. The best part is that your pressure cooker does most of the heavy lifting. Plus, all the ingredients are compliant to the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet.
I believe in the power of one-pot cooking. It’s less of a mess to clean up and it’s also a snap to reheat. So, here’s my weekend gift to you: an easy recipe for one-pot pineapple chicken “curry” that’s autoimmune protocol (AIP) compliant. We’ve been working on our big pot of this stuff for the past couple of days and I love it.
t’s called picadillo, a Filipino beef stew inspired by Cuban and Latin American flavors. It’s also known as Cubano in the Philippines. Think of it as a subtly sweet pot of chili. The traditional Filipino recipe includes a few items that are not allowed on AIP, such as pepper, peas, tomatoes and regular potatoes. I subbed a few ingredients to make this a completely AIP-friendly version.
Cue in: Paleo on the Go. It’s a meal delivery service that is fully compliant to the AIP lifestyle! What? I know. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s the real deal.
It’s a beautiful spring evening, perfect for a garden date night. We’ll be enjoying a nice conversation over a plate of fried chicken dumplings. Happy Sunday!
One thing we miss while we’re on the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet is coffee. Coffee is a bean, which means it’s off-limits under the AIP. As such, we’ve mostly been having tea for the past three months. When we recently discovered online that some people use chicory as an AIP-compliant coffee substitute, we knew we had to try it for ourselves.
Christmas came early to our quarantine household when our shipment of cassava flour tortillas from Siete Foods arrived today. These are the only tortillas we’ve been able to find that are compliant to our autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet and we easily go through a pack or more a week. They’re light, delicious and perfect for easy AIP dinners. We keep our tacos pretty simple with just shrimp or chicken, some chopped greens and a squeeze of lime.
Ever since we’ve been on the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet, grains, dairy, and seeds are off-limits to us. So, I decided to make my own AIP-compliant bagels and cream cheese. The tapioca and cassava flour make these bagels a little chewier than traditional bagels, so I like making them a little bit smaller. The cream cheese is fantastic. It has the creamy, subtly tangy taste that I love.
I discovered a great autoimmune protocol (AIP) recipe for cassava flour pancakes by Michele at Thriving on Paleo. I made a batch last Saturday and we loved it so much that I made another batch today. We topped our pancakes with some mixed berries and a syrup I made by heating honey and date syrup over the stove.
AIP removes food sources of inflammation to help heal the gut and improve the immune system. The idea is to remove inflammation triggers completely from one’s diet and then after a few months, slowly reintroduce ingredients one at a time to see how the body handles them.
