Before you put your grill away for the summer, try some grass-fed sirloin steak and incorporate several different green veggies. A good way to get more greens is to blend them into a salad dressing. The arugula-oregano dressing in this recipe provides a peppery, savory zing to the milder flavor of baby greens. This way you’re eating…

I once spent 6 months hiking the entire Appalachian Trail–walking through the woods for hours on end, carrying everything that mattered on my back for thousands of miles. “Why does this matter and why do I care?” you ask. Tunafish–the…

The juicy, not-too-sweet, not-too-tart pit fruit that you can play tennis with when it’s not ripe and get a half gallon of juice down your chin when it is ripe. If you’re not fortunate enough to be in peach season at the moment, get my recipe for warm cinnamon cassava pancakes…

My toddler even eats them, despite containing Swiss chard. The key to hiding veggies is to grind them up, mix them with “better” stuff, and fry them in lots of good…

Continue ReadingI paid more than I want to admit for these wild-caught yellowfin tuna steaks, but I had never eaten yellowfin before, and it was the most beautiful and enticing cut of fish in the seafood case. It called out to me… And it was the best fish I’ve ever eaten. This is the absolute furthest…

We made them for breakfast when guests came over, and we even ate them for Christmas dinner two years in a row. Homemade tortillas, sausage, sage, tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, sour cream….I’m drooling just writing about them. There is hope for us…

THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY. Get yourself one of these bad boys. Heat it up right on the grill, wipe it with some avocado oil, and…

Continue ReadingI no longer eat chicken, because I can’t find anything that’s 100% pastured. Every chicken recipe I make is actually Quorn. That being said, I have a feeling most people that read this are fans of chicken and not Quorn (shoutout to my vegetarian peeps). All of my chicken recipes can be made with either.…

You know me–the reluctant health nut–I’m never gonna tell you YOU’LL NEVER TASTE THE DIFFERENCE. Because you will. You always will. That being…
Meet Autumn
Welcome to Lectin Free Mama!
Hi there! My name is Autumn–I’m a wife, mother, and classical singer who has fully recovered from POTS, MCAS, IBS, and mold toxicity. Dr. Steven Gundry’s Plant Paradox was a very helpful piece of my healing journey, and I hope to share here what I’ve learned along the way. My goal with this site is to provide knowledge, resources, and healthy recipes to individuals and families recovering from inflammatory illnesses. Also, I want to give hope to the chronically ill that your story isn’t over yet–there are always more changes to pursue and more therapies to try. Never, ever give up scaling the cliff face–even when the top is not in sight. Check out my lectin-free meal planner (newsletter), recipes, tips, and research articles. Send me an email with any questions you have!
