BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza (autoimmune paleo)

One night, while eating BBQ chicken thighs and AIP flatbread, it struck me that I should combine the two and make an AIP version of BBQ chicken pizza on a flatbread crust. I owe many thanks to Russ at The Domestic Man for the inspiration; I started with his flatbread recipe and modified it to end up with what is a fantastic pizza crust for both the AIP diner or anyone else who is simply following a grain-free diet. Since I have this obsession with cooking with gelatin, I’ve used it in this recipe and the resulting crust is both pleasantly crunchy and chewy at the same time. You will really enjoy this recipe! 

Autoimmune Paleo Savory Breakfast Cookies (aka flattened biscuits)

Sometimes kitchen failures turn into great recipes. I’ve tried and tried to come up with an egg-free, autoimmune paleo biscuit, but, no matter what I do, they don’t rise. They’ve all come out flat as pancakes! Thus, Savory Breakfast Cookies were born. Even though they don’t look like a biscuit, they taste like one, and they make the perfect AIP savory breakfast bread! 

Green Plantain Pancakes (autoimmune paleo, egg-free)

This recipe is for egg-free green plantain pancakes that you can eat while on the autoimmune paleo protocol. It is an adaptation of my plantain flour pancake recipe from last year. I’ve been making these at least once a week since starting the AIP — my husband and I both love them! And, for the egg-free variation, the texture is better with pureed fresh green plantains vs. plantain flour. You will definitely enjoy this recipe!

Cajun-Spiced Chicken Livers with Bacon and Onion

This recipe is just a simple spin on the classic liver and onions you probably remember from your childhood, with the addition of bacon. Because bacon makes everything better. Additionally, you can give the livers a little (or a lot) of kick with a homemade Cajun spice mix. This recipe is gluten-free, paleo/primal, and compatible with the 21-Day Sugar Detox and Whole30.
