Where I come from we just don’t have pizza, we have pizza and garlic knots. We throw in a salad too, but garlic knots are EVERYTHING. These paleo garlic knots changed my gluten free life.

I need meals that require as little hands on cooking time as possible and not much thought. I use my Instant Pot for both slow cooking and pressure cooking because it makes 5 minutes of hands on prep work taste like 2 hours of slaving away in the kitchen. Meals come out tender and full of flavor, especially this Pressure Cooker Italian Beef recipe.

For those who don’t tolerate chocolate or are following the Autoimmune Protocol, carob is an excellent alternative. It tastes similar to chocolate, with a slightly sweeter flavor and three times the calcium. These are perfect for a holiday dessert or gift giving.

Eileen from Phoenix Helix asked me to contribute some recipes to The Paleo AIP Instant Pot Cookbook. How could I not say – yes! yes! yes! I love the idea of a collaborative cookbook and I love my Instant Pot even more.

I’ve made this Instant Pot beef stew a million and one times. I just can’t get enough of it. There is something about removing the lid and being met with a beautiful and aromatic pot of beef stew that is so gratifying. If you own an Instant Pot you know what I mean.

Talk about cuties! Most gummy recipes use berries or a similar fruit, so these are completely different than any gummy snack I’ve ever had before.

Are you looking for a sub in for white potatoes? Give plantains a try. They are pretty versatile and are a great swap for potatoes. I prefer them fried, but you can even bake plantains right in the skin for a sweet starchy faux mash.
