I often get asked what staples I keep in my kitchen on a weekly basis. Since I follow the Autoimmune Protocol  Diet, you will not  typically find any nightshades, nuts/seeds, peppers, or dairy products around here.  What you will find are lots of other delicious foods. I cook in bulk, usually, twice a week. I keep my fridge stacked with glass Tupperware containers filled with meats, fish, and veggies ready to grab and go.

Check it out…

Bulk Meat/Fish:

• Always organic and/or  wild caught
• Sardines
• Canned Salmon
• I order the following items from the US Wellness Meats Website: beef liver, beef heart, AIP Pork Rinds. I am going to venture out to kidney next.
• I usually find organic chicken on sale at natural Grocer. My favorite cuts are: drumsticks, thighs, and breast– bone in  and skin on! I buy whole organic chickens at Costco. When I cook a chicken we eat ALL of it– to include the nutrient dense liver, kidneys, heart and neck. We usually eat chicken 2-3 times a week.
• 1-2 lbs. Organic ground Bison @ Costco
• 1-2 lbs. Organic Ground Beef usually at natural Grocer on sale or at Costco
• 1 lb. ground lamb
• Wild caught anything at Costco! The selection is pretty big. It varies for us weekly from: Mackerel, Hake, Salmon, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, or Cod. I especially love the frozen salmon patties, we eat the hell outta those. They are quick and  easy– and great cold, too.
