Camping on the AIP diet

Hello, long time no see!  It's good to get back to the blog after going camping in the boonies for a whole week.  Being AIP myself, with friends who weren't, I found foods that worked well for me, so I'll share them with you.  Don't let a healthy diet stop you from getting out and having fun!

"Daylight" Salsa (Nightshade Free!)

Happy Memorial Day!

I am extremely grateful to those who sacrificed their lives for this country.  Ronald Reagan stated at a Veterans Day national ceremony in 1985 that our fallen soldiers gave up two lives - " the one they were living and the one they would have lived."  I think this is a reason to be grateful and to celebrate the life we are blessed with now.  So for everyone having a memorial day cookout with friends, family, and neighbors, enjoy this beautiful day in honor of the veterans who aren't with us anymore.

A note on Analyzing Food Responses

Hello from my dorm!

My mom just told me something the other day that made me think of AIP and how the diet is supposed to help us analyze our bodies responses to food.  She told me how she ate a bunch of brownies and ended up with a massive headache that night and into the next day.  She concluded that she doesn’t do well with chocolate.  Well, maybe that’s the case.  I wouldn’t know, I’m not my mom.  But I reminded her, it’s different when you eat a whole bunch of something versus when you eat a little to moderate amount.  After thinking about it, my mom realized that she could handle a little chocolate - just not as much as several dark chocolate brownies slathered in rich chocolate frosting.
