White Kimchi (Baek Kimchi)

White/ Baek kimchi

Kimchi was one of the foods that I thought I would miss once I began AIP.  It was one of the first Korean foods that I tried and enjoyed.  When dining out at Korean restaurants, it was such a treat to be presented with the various 'banchan' and usually a variety of kimchi would … [Read more...]

It was a rather hot day and I felt like having soup, but did not want to have hot soup somehow.  So I thought of making a cold soup instead and decided upon arugula as I usually enjoy it in salads and figured it would make a nice soup as well. The result is a refreshing cold … [Read more...]

How to Make a Kombucha Scoby

I started drinking kombucha in the form of Yogi Tea's Green Tea Kombucha a couple of years ago and enjoyed the refreshing and smooth taste of it.  It was only after I started with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) that I decided to jump into the kombucha bandwagon and start brewing … [Read more...]

I've always tossed my radish greens until recently, when I bought a bunch with a whole crown of fresh green leaves that begged to be used.  Now that Summer is here, radishes are really abundant and inexpensive.  I love how produce looks and tastes so good in Summer!  Radish … [Read more...]
