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! 

Paleo Reina Pepiada (Venezuelan chicken avocado salad)

Reina pepiada is one of the best recipes to ever come out of Venezuela. Here, I’ll teach you how to make an egg-free, nightshade-free version suitable for the autoimmune paleo protocol. If you want a more authentic version, there’s instructions for that, too! Goes great on top of tostones

Nightshade-free Shepherd’s Pie

Cauliflower is a wonderful and versatile vegetable, but I was left disappointed when I tried using it as the mashed topping for shepherd’s pie. This recipe utilizes tropical starchy roots as the mashed potato replacement in a nourishing, nightshade- and dairy-free version of the classic dish. 

Mashed Malanga, Taro, or Yuca: nightshade-free potato substitutes

Vanilla Cinnamon Coconut Milk Pudding (AIP)

This has become my go-to dessert recipe on the autoimmune paleo protocol. It’s so good, though, that anyone will enjoy this rich, satisfying dish! It’s so easy to make and uses only 5 ingredients, including the super food gelatin. Enjoy!
