B.R.A.T
The stomach flu sucks. And it sucks even more when your immune system sucks. Now I guess this is what ‘Tysabri depletes your immune system’ means. Numerous other family members I visited this holiday are/were sick with the same illness, including Le Boyfriend. However, he was sick for 5 hours, I’ve been sick for 6 days! […]

Round 2
I have now tried to slice plantains several different ways, and none of them are ‘easy’, unless the plantains are the color of midnight. I mean black, blacker than the middle of the night sky in the Caribbean black. Then, it was a bit easier, but only then. I tried my hand at fried plantains […]

Move over Alfredo
It finally happened. Bacon Chicken Alfredo has been dethroned (so says Le Boyfriend, but I tend to agree), by something so simple as sausage. I suppose, if anything was going to beat something with bacon, it better incorporate sausage. The recipe came from, wait for it, A Clean Plate! (I’ll change it up someday, I […]

But they looked so pretty!
But tasted like crap! Not everything can be a success, right? I burned my pretty plantains the other day. Those suckers cooked quick! And while one side was a lovely, golden brown, the other was black and charred. Oops. I guess one utter disaster out of several weeks of hits is ok. This used to […]

Thanksgiving tricks and treats
My family isn’t quite down with this AIP-ish thing I got goin on. They are somewhat supportive of my food choices/habits, depending on who I’m speaking about, and just so long as they don’t have to eat it (Le Boyfriend excluded). So when the menu for Thanksgiving was up in the air, I quickly volunteered […]

No, is still an answer.
I suppose ‘No’ is an answer, right? That seems to be what I have been hearing from doctors lately when I have been trying to figure out the root cause of my stomach pain. No, you don’t have this. No, you don’t have that. I’m not lactose intolerant, I don’t have SIBO, when I would […]

Plate lickin’ good
Le Boyfriend licked his plate after dinner. No, that’s no metaphor folks. He legit licked it, dinner was that good. Granted, I thought it was quite good myself, but I’m not sure I’d go there. Now what did I make you ask? I made an adaptation of ACleanPlates Bacon Chicken Alfredo. I may have also […]

An AIPish life for me..?
Two weeks in to this AIPish journey and it’s going… Ok? At the start I didn’t think that would be the case, I had anticipated some major mishaps, meltdowns and disasters. But aside from one night where everything that could go wrong did (entire jar of Italian spices into the mushrooms? Sure!) it’s been good. […]

Changes, part deux
This whole diet change seems so big, I’m making it it’s own post. I think it needs that. I’ve known about the AutoImmune Protocol (AIP) Paleo diet for awhile now. I first read about it earlier this year, read how many foods were eliminated on top of regular paleo and said No. Way. Ever. Foods […]
