5 Tips for Surviving the AIP or Repairvite Diet
I first went on a hybrid of the paleo autoimmune protocol and the Repairvite Diet a year ago to address leaky gut syndrome. I successfully healed my gut, so why would I go back on the AIP? Because my husband and roommates are all doing it now to address THEIR leaky guts! I’m joining in for moral support. They’re so lucky to have a live-in paleo/AIP blogger to help with meal planning and cooking, but for the rest of you I wanted to put together a little guide with shopping ideas and some of the top tips I learned in the past year.
How to Make Puerto Rican Pasteles (paleo, AIP option)
I am excited to introduce you to a wonderful naturally paleo dish from Puerto Rico called “pasteles”. Pasteles are similar to tamales, but the dough is made from gluten-free and grain-free tropical fruit, root, and vegetable starches. Pasteles are a traditional holiday food in Puerto Rico, with many families making them while everyone is together. Having extra hands does make the process go a lot faster! I hope you enjoy the recipe, and don’t forget to watch the videos I made to accompany it — they are critical for your success in making these!

Rich & Creamy Dairy-Free Beef Liver Pâté With Blueberry Jelly
Shortly after I went on the autoimmune paleo protocol I got a hankering for pâté. Unfortunately, most pâté recipes contain one or more non-AIP ingredients, like butter, alcohol, or prohibited spices. I had tried some AIP pâté that was just pureed liver, onion, and seasonings and I was not impressed with the texture. I wanted to mimic that rich, creamy texture that butter lends a pâté, yet I needed to keep it dairy-free. Check out the secret ingredient I used here to get that perfect silky smooth texture!
