Autoimmune Paleo Colombian-Style Arepas (seriously authentic!)

I created these Colombian-style arepas for the autoimmune protocol so that my roommates, husband, and I weren’t stuck eating tostones every morning with breakfast as our sole starch option. My roommates are from Venezuela, so they know how to spot a good arepa! These turned out more like their neighbor Colombia’s traditional arepas since they are flat, crispy, and perfect for topping with your favorite protein. Even when we all finish our Lenten AIP challenge, these are gonna remain a staple for us for breakfast! Hope you enjoy them as much as we have 🙂

Southern Style Paleo Biscuits + Everyday Grain-Free Baking

It’s totally natural for us to crave non-paleo foods that used to be staples, especially the made-from-scratch-and-lots-of-love, culturally-relevant recipes. Southern-style biscuits are a perfect example – one that I’ve missed dearly since going paleo 5 years ago. Thanks to Kelly at The Nourishing Home, authentic Southern-style biscuits are back on the menu for me again! Check out this recipe from her cookbook Everyday Grain-Free Baking and get a sneak peek inside this gem of a book!

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.

Check out the recipes, learn more about New Orleans, Mardi Gras, and King Cakes, and laissez les bon temps rouler!
