I am always on the lookout for ways to simplify my life. I need simple AIP recipes because, honestly, there are time when I am just holding on for dear life and it’s all I can do to get food on my table at all. Life can be busy (and stressful) and I don’t always have the time, or the energy, to put in the effort that AIP often requires. It is, of course, at these times of stress that I need to lean into AIP the most, which can make it feel that much more difficult.
So what do I do? I turn to recipes that will give me a lot of bang for my buck. I look for recipes that are easily thrown together, use simple ingredients that I probably already have on hand, and that will see me through several meals. I lean on tried and true basics.
What are my go-to’s? My slow cooker and my instant pot.
Appliances that were once the domain of our grannies are now hot commodities. You can find a decent slow cookerfor under $35.00, and while an instant pot is a bit more of an investment, it’s worth it for the convenience factor. With both a slow cooker and an Instant Pot all you have to do is throw in your ingredients and walk away. You’re done. You barely even have to clean up. On the days I am feeling stressed, that’s about as simple an answer to, “What’s for dinner?” as I could ever hope to get.
My Top 10 Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes for a Simple AIP Meal:
1 – Rustic Root Vegetable Soup with Meatballs – A Squirrel in the Kitchen
2 – Chicken Soup – Coconut Contentment
