Healing Remedies for Eczema That Actually Work

Healing Remedies for Eczema (That Actually Work)

March 7, 2017

(Now that it’s been one year since I successfully healed my eczema, I’ve decided to update this post with more complete information. These suggestions for healing remedies for eczema are not meant to replace the advice of your professional medical practitioner. This is simply my personal experience with healing my eczema when conventional medical treatments no longer worked for me.)   Who knew that a relentless case of eczema could cause my entire life come to a screeching halt? But that’s just what my last outbreak of eczema did. None of the conventional treatments were helping, so I was fortunate… Read More

A recipe for Paleo Aebleskiver made with cassava flour: nut-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.

Paleo Aebleskiver (with Cassava Flour)

February 19, 2017

I used to love indulging in aebleskiver. Also known as ebelskiver, Danish pancakes, appleskive, or European pancake puffs, these puffy sphere-shaped pancakes (typically topped with powdered sugar and jam) are a beloved Scandinavian dish. Years ago, they were also one of my favorite guilty pleasures. After having to turn to a grain-free lifestyle to manage my Crohn’s disease, I thought I’d never get to enjoy aebleskiver again. While I’m still unable to eat traditional aebleskiver, I think this recipe for Paleo aebleskiver is the next best thing. These Paleo aebleskiver, made with cassava flour, capture the essence of the real thing, with… Read More

7 Healthy Travel Essentials

January 31, 2017

Traveling with an autoimmune disease can be a challenge, sometimes even overwhelming. A big part of maintaining my health revolves around sticking to a controlled, well-planned daily routine. When I’m placed in a situation where my I can’t control what I eat, or when I’m faced with extra stress, poor rest, or lack of proper nutrition, it puts me at risk of getting sick. And as you know, you can only enjoy a vacation if you’re feeling well! Luckily, I’ve discovered some healthy travel essentials which help keep my immune system healthy. We recently got to enjoy a trip to… Read More

8 Natural Cold and Flu Remedies

8 Natural Cold and Flu Remedies

January 11, 2017

As someone who’s spent years dealing with a compromised immune system, preventing colds, flu, and infection has become a priority for me. In particular, I’m always looking for the most effective natural cold and flu remedies. The key to preventing and fighting off viruses is building up strong immunity, but it’s often easier said than done. Of course, good nutrition, sufficient sleep, and proper stress management are all critical to maintaining a healthy immune system. But despite our best efforts, sometimes those pesky bugs still get us. Although medication has its time and place, it often treats only the symptoms… Read More

Best Natural Skincare of 2016

Best Natural Skincare of 2016

December 30, 2016

As we close out 2016 and head into the New Year, I figure it’s a great time to share my favorite skincare and beauty products from this past year. All these brands use truly natural ingredients, free of synthetic fragrance, parabens, and other synthetic toxins. Many of them contain organic, real-food ingredients, natural botanicals, and/or therapeutic grade essential oils. They have all helped me work towards healthy skin and a glowing complexion, so these are my picks for the best natural skincare products of 2016. (Note: this post contains affiliate links.

Saying Goodbye to Our Dog with Cancer

Saying Goodbye to Our Dog with Cancer

December 21, 2016

As many of you who follow my social media accounts may already know, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy, Luciano. On December 6, Luciano crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge, leaving our hearts completely broken. It’s been just over two weeks, and it’s still hard for me to write about it. One of the hardest parts about this experience is knowing that we lost him at such a young age, at only four years old. We worked hard to extend his life and give him a quality of life since his diagnosis. And we feel we did… Read More

Crab Salad (Paleo, AIP, Whole 30)

Crab Salad (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

December 13, 2016

This recipe for crab salad is simple, healthy, and delicious, all while being naturally Paleo, AIP-friendly, and Whole30-friendly. But it’s also much more than that, as it is a family recipe that comes from my Uncle Frank DiScala. He would make the most savory, mouth-watering crab salad every Christmas Eve. As part of our family’s Italian Christmas Eve seafood feast, it was always my favorite course of the meal. In fact, it was a dish I would look forward to it all year long. Sadly, we lost Uncle Frank this past summer. He was a larger-than-life character, always the life… Read More

Oil Cleansing: Why I’m Using Oil to Wash My Face

Oil Cleansing: Why I’m Using Oil to Wash My Face

November 17, 2016

When I first heard about the idea of oil cleansing, I thought it was crazy. As someone who’s struggled with oily/combination skin and breakouts most of my life, the thought of washing my face with oil made no sense to me. But after learning more about it (and finding a brand I really like), I’ve been converted. Here is a little info about oil cleansing and why I’m now using oil to wash my face.   What is Oil Cleansing and Why Should I Do It?   While many of us have tried to combat acne by using products that… Read More

30 Minute AIP-friendly Paleo Pumpkin Chili: nightshade-free, legume-free, and grain-free

30 Minute Paleo Pumpkin Chili (AIP, Whole30)

November 5, 2016

You probably know by now that I love a good all-in-one, one-pot meal. It’s one of the reasons I love making my Really Easy Paleo Chili. But since I’ve started to incorporate some elements of the autoimmune protocol (AIP) into my diet, I’ve had to eliminate certain problematic foods, like tomatoes and other nightshades. So what’s a chili-loving girl to do? Fortunately, I’ve found a way to re-create my original recipe. This easy AIP-friendly, Paleo Pumpkin Chili is delicious, nutritious, and only takes about 30 minutes to make! In addition to being grain-free and legume-free, this Paleo Pumpkin Chili is also… Read More
