I am an avid lover of Rice Malt Syrup as my sweetener of choice.  Something that should come of no surprise if you’ve tried one of my recipes.

However, being on the Autoimmune Protocol, I’ve had do say au revoir to all grains – this includes rice malt syrup.  This isn’t a bad thing though, as I get to say a big hello to honey.  In particular raw organic honey.....

So as you know, I have been living with Hashimoto’s and leaky gut for quite a number of years. 

The journey hasn’t been easy (and it still isn’t), however I’m eternally grateful for the progress I have made so far, and for the unexpected change in direction my life has taken.

I thought I might take the time to share with you where I started, what I changed in my life and where I currently am......

Are you starting, or thinking about starting the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) yourself? 

Or perhaps on the lookout for a dairy free milk substitute?

Look no further my lovely friend.

I have a new toy in the pantry - Great Lakes Beef Gelatin!  

Curious ?

I’m at the 8 week mark people.   Toot toot!

Yep.  You heard me.  I’ve been going strong on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) for 2 whole months now, and I have to say, I’m feeling wonderful. 

Actually, I haven’t felt this good in years!  Jeez people - this shit works!

Looking for a super simple yet nourishing soup that will keep you feeling full and satisfied?

It really doesn’t get much simpler than this.

Thought I'd sneak in a quick little update for you all as week 2 on The Autoimmune Paleo Protocol (AIP) is done and dusted.

So how do I feel?

I'm starting The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol which means Pantry Detox time baby . . .

So what is Phase 1 on The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol all about?  

The first step is elimination . . .

I'm starting a new adventure to help heal my body.  

I'm scared as hell, but excited at the same time. 

Want to come along on the ride with me?
