12 Easy Whole30 Recipes

January 7, 2019

  Happy New Year, friends! I’m a little late to the table with this one, but I know a lot of you have started the Whole30 this January (yay!). So I thought I’d post this roundup of 12 Easy Whole30 Recipes for anyone looking for some quick and simple dishes to enjoy this month. All of these easy Whole30 recipes are either automatically Whole30 compliant or can be with one minor modification. As most of you know, I’m not a chef…just a Crohnie trying to eat healthy and looking for the easiest, fastest way to do it. So these recipes… Read More

Paleo Cinnamon Apple Pancakes (made with cassava flour: gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free)

Paleo Cinnamon Apple Pancakes (with Cassava Flour)

November 18, 2018

  I know, I know. You’re probably knee deep in your preparations for your Thanksgiving menu this week (and understandably so!). Breakfast is probably the last thing on your mind. But as far as I’m concerned, there’s never a bad time for pancakes! And these autumn-inspired Paleo Cinnamon Apple Pancakes are the perfect breakfast treat to celebrate this time of year. If you’re not quite into “all-things-pumpkin,” or if you’re simply looking for an alternative to pumpkin this season, these Paleo Cinnamon Apple Pancakes will hit the spot. They combine the lovely flavors of apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create… Read More

Self Forgiveness and the Art of Healing

Self Forgiveness and the Art of Healing

September 28, 2018

September 23rd marked exactly one year since my ileostomy surgery. One year since I’ve had to learn to live with an ostomy bag. One year since I was able to hit the “reset” button and start healing from a Crohn’s flare that almost took my life. I’d had major surgeries before, but this one was different. Before heading into surgery, I was very ill; I’d stopped eating due to severe pain and nausea, and that meant losing a lot of weight and muscle mass. I was bedridden for weeks leading up to the surgery, hospitalized, and placed on home nursing… Read More

BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa - Paleo, AIP, nightshade-free

BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa (Paleo, AIP)

August 30, 2018

This recipe for BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa is the perfect way to celebrate Labor Day and the end of the summer season. The best part is that you get all of the flavors of traditional barbecue, but it’s completely AIP-friendly and nightshade-free! I’m excited every time August rolls around because it’s “peach season” around here. Peaches provide a sense of nostalgia for me. We had a peach tree in our backyard when I was growing up. So every August we had a lot of ripe, juicy peaches at our fingertips. In fact, one of my favorite childhood memories is… Read More

Best Safe Sunscreens

Best Safe Sunscreens

August 2, 2018

Most of us have been taught to protect ourselves from the “dangerous” effects of the sun, and many of these concerns are valid. So we follow mainstream advice, slathering on that drugstore sunscreen as directed, all the while thinking that we’re protecting our skin in a healthy, responsible way. But there’s a dark side to conventional sunscreen use, and it’s finally being brought to light on a legislative level. Hawaii recently became the first state to pass a bill that would ban the sale of sunscreen products containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals that have been linked to the bleaching… Read More

Cucumber Apple Salsa

Cucumber Apple Salsa (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, Vegan)

June 3, 2018

One of the things I miss most is fresh salsa. Unfortunately, I have to avoid nightshades in order to manage my autoimmune disease, and this means no tomatoes, peppers, etc. (except on special occasions). Let me tell you: this is torturous for this half-Italian who loves both Italian and Mexican food! So when I’m craving some type of salsa to dress up tacos or fish — or really any other savory dish — this Cucumber Apple Salsa recipe has become my go-to. This Cucumber Apple salsa is not only Paleo, but also, AIP-compliant (no nightshades – yay!), Whole30-friendly, and vegan…. Read More

10 Must-Try Natural Beauty Swaps

May 5, 2018

We all have our favorite beauty and personal care products, and I’m no exception. But I’ve spent the last few years slowly trying to replace most of my conventional products with safer alternatives, and that’s meant having to say goodbye to some of my favorites. The problem was, there were some products I was so attached to, it took me a while to find the right “non-toxic” replacements. After all, it’s one thing to find products that are made with all the right (i.e. safe) ingredients, but it’s another thing to find clean products that actually perform like our conventional… Read More

Paleo on the Go Review

Paleo on the Go: Healthy Meal Delivery

March 1, 2018

One of the most difficult aspects of being able to stick to a lifestyle diet like Paleo (or keto or Whole30) is keeping up with the cooking demand. It’s not easy to cook every meal from scratch. There are so many times I’m tempted to dine out or order in, but this usually means veering from my food plan because I don’t know (or can’t control) what ingredients are in my food. That’s why I love having Paleo on the Go ready-made meals as an option. They do all the cooking for me, and I can trust all the ingredients… Read More

Paleo Strawberry Pancakes (Made with Cassava Flour)

Paleo Strawberry Pancakes (with Cassava Flour)

January 31, 2018

  It’s no secret that I love me some good pancakes. I admit, I don’t make them very often, since I try to keep my breakfasts focused on healthy proteins and veggies. But every now and then, I love a good breakfast treat. These Paleo Strawberry Pancakes are just that, all while being nut-free, grain-free, and dairy-free. Like my other pancake recipes, these Paleo Strawberry Pancakes are made with cassava flour, not to be confused with tapioca starch. Unlike tapioca starch, which is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant, cassava flour is made from the whole… Read More

These are so easy to make and require only three ingredients: chocolate, coconut oil and of course, strawberries! .

The Many Faces of Crohn’s: it’s #CrohnsandColi The Many Faces of Crohn’s: it’s #CrohnsandColitisAwarenessWeek which makes it a good time to talk about living with Crohn’s disease. .
.
From the prednisone “moon” face to being thin and gaunt to everything in between, there is no one way that we patients “wear” our disease. In fact, much of the time, we probably look perfectly “normal” or healthy on the outside. We learn to smile even when we’re in pain, weak, or terribly fatigued. We push through each day, trying to hide most of the symptoms that plague us. Crohn’s is an invisible illness that can reach far beyond digestive symptoms. Some of us also battle joint pain (and other types of pain), skin issues, extreme fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, anxiety, and depression.
.
.
For almost 18 years, I’ve been a #Crohnie. When conventional meds started to fail me years ago, I started to explore the healing power of nutrition. While not a cure, it’s helped me when meds couldn’t. I’ve endured numerous hospitalizations and surgeries, including two partial colectomies, one seton placement, and a total colectomy/ileostomy with a proctectomy to follow. In between, I’ve had obstructions, infections, abscesses, fistula, and some devastating and even life-threatening side effects to meds like Remicade, Humira, prednisone, and mercaptopurine (6MP).
.
.
Today, I manage my illness with nutrition and other lifestyle modifications. (I still take medication, just no IBD specific meds...I can’t tolerate them and they don’t work for me).
.
.
Every patient handles IBD differently. There is no one-size-fits-all medication or diet. And our needs often change as time goes on. But if there’s anything that IBD patients tend to have in common, it’s strength, tenacity, and compassion for others. Even though it’s a fight everyday, I’m proud to be a part of this community! 💪
