It’s safe to say that I didn’t grow up eating Mexican food, since my first “Mexican food” experience was post-college and a good five thousand miles away from Mexico City. Unsurprisingly, it involved the saddest approximation of a burrito you can imagine, filled with a hodgepodge of indeterminable ingredients. “Ingredients” might be too generous here, […]
Sweet & Tart Energy Bars
If you used to be a fan of the kind of dried fruit and nut bars that rhyme with Cara, these little treatsĀ are for you! Although nuts are a no no on the AIP, they’re not necessary to make these portable, take anywhere energy bars, thanks to a nifty little ingredient swap that makes these […]

Cute citrus fruit, really odd name. These olive sized mini orange imposters are like a flavor punch to the face. In a good way. […]
