While November and December seem to be all about delicious dinner parties and sweet indulgences, January is a time for fresh starts and resets. I have never been one to make resolutions, but I do set goals and intentions for the future.

For the past few years, I have been working hard to heal my gut with the end result of balancing my hormones and finally fixing some life-long skin issues. I’m so close! So to reach that finish line, I’ll be setting a couple of goals.

First, I want to continue my focus on clean eating. I will be continuing with a modified Paleo diet that focuses on the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet). The SCD is grain-free, sugar-free, starch-free, and emphasizes unprocessed foods. By focusing on easily digestible carbohydrates, the diet aims to starve out the bad bacteria and yeast that can cause digestive troubles.

My second goal is to maintain a good handle on my sugar intake. In 2009, I made the switch from a low-fat, high-carb, whole-grain diet to a Paleo diet. After several months on the diet, I found that I no longer craved sugary sweet foods and treats. Sweet things just tasted really sweet. Too sweet. And I no longer wanted them. This still holds true today, but I will be the first to admit that dark chocolate calls my name every day. And I often answer that call. Sugar can also cause digestive upset and bacterial imbalance.

Hey AIP Friends! Can’t Have Eggs and Struggling with Breakfasts?

I can help! I have done the AIP twice, once for 6 months and the next time for about 18 months and now a large number of my readers are also following the autoimmune protocol for their own healing. I have created a number of AIP compliant recipes for this site, and many can easily be modified to fit your AIP lifestyle.

During my time on the AIP I learned a lot, but breakfasts were, by far, the hardest meals for me to plan out. I was an eggs-for-breakfast kind of gal and turns out, I react to eggs so those for sure had to go. What’s a gal to do when she’s had her favorite go-to breakfast taken away?

Get creative!

Which is what I did, along with the help of 25 other amazing AIP bloggers who all used the AIP to help further along their healing. Together, we created the 85 Amazing AIP Breakfasts eBook (one of the very first digital resources of its kind). The book was coordinated and designed by my friend, Eileen of Phoenix Helix website, and it quickly became a favorite resource in the AIP community!

ONE OF THE FIRST DIGITAL RESOURCES OF ITS KIND, THIS COOKBOOK IS:

  • A paleo autoimmune protocol cookbook that is aligned with The Paleo Approach
  • A resource for reversing autoimmune disease
  • The work of 26 AIP bloggers who have used the AIP to improve their own health.
  • 85 curated breakfast recipes from the best of the AIP blogs, including 33 completely new recipes never published before!
  • Over half of the recipes can easily be modified for low-FODMAP, GAPS/SCD, low-histamine, and coconut-free diets using the handy substitution charts included in the book.

RECIPES INCLUDE:

  • Delicious beverages like Rooibos “Latte”, Vanilla “Cappuccino”, Smoothies, Liver & Kidney Detox drink, and more!
  • Breakfast bowls like Creamy Grain-Free “Porridge”, Roasted Cinnamon Pear “Oatmeal”, Biscuits & Gravy, Cranachan, and more!
  • Breakfast skillets like Sweet Potato Beef Curry, Rabbit Sweet Potato Hash, Bacon & Veggie Fry-Up, Liver & Mushroom Stir-fry, Zucchini Apple Hash, and more!
  • Soups (yes! You can eat soup for breakfast) like Greek Gyro Soup, Carrot Ginger Halibut Soup, Fragrant Herb & Coconut Chicken Soup, Offal (but now awful!) Stew, and more!
  • Patties like Apple Pie Pork Patties, Ginger Green Onion Patties, Perfect Breakfast Sausage, Tuna Cakes with Green Olives, Cranberry Maple Chicken Patties, and more!
  • Pancakes (yum!) like Sweet Potato Banana Pancakes, Spinach Plantain Pancakes, Fig & Citrus Hand Pies, Plantain Waffles, Cinnamon Crumb Cakes, and more!

Regardless of whether you are just starting out on the AIP or you’re already into the program, this cookbook is the perfect addition to your kitchen.
