This week on Danielle's Digest you'll see what I've been eating, a special lunch I made for Ryan, one of Asher's favorite things to do around the holidays, and some fun videos I've been working on!
There's a new cooking video up on my YouTube channel for Shortbread Cookies! Click HERE to watch!
So happy that crab season has arrived! Ryan was working from home one day this past week so I made him this special treat. I love how simple a crab dinner can be.
We had friends over for appetizers and I made a big appetizer spread. Watch the video HERE to see what else I served!

I have been celebrating this one's birthday for 15 years and somehow each year he just keeps getting better. ❤️
Look at these beautiful cupcakes with “butter” cream frosting reader Cathy G made from my Celebrations Cookbook ! Impressive piping skills. I've never been any good at that!
We finally got over the 2 week long stomach bug and then colds spread through the house. I think this was the 5th batch of soup I've made!
Asher's favorite thing during Christmas is building gingerbread villages (not just 1 house, a whole neighborhood! Haha). So I created a grain-free version for Celebrations so he can actually nibble while we build!
I can't wait to see pictures of your houses as you start to build them!
If you missed my live grain-free pie crust class, you can still catch the replay anytime! Just click HERE. I shared all of my tips and tricks to get the perfect crust every time!
This is the finished pie from the pie crust class! YUM! You can find this recipe for the pumpkin pie and crust in my Celebrations cookbook.

Do you find that you have to adhere to anything restricted on the AIP or are your symptoms under control with closer to a traditional paleo template? Also curious to know how often you eat natural sugar such as honey/maple syrup. I know it is in a lot of your recipes but curious to know how often you actually eat it. Thanks!
Danielle
Hi Lindsay- My symptoms are pretty under control as of late but whenever I feel them getting out of control I usually revert to the AIP protocol. That being said, I always make sure to visit my Functional Medicine Doctor to help guide me in what to revert to because last time I flared, AIP wasn’t working for me. All that said, everyone is different so just make sure you chat with your Functional Medicine Doctor or Naturopath. And I don’t have all that much. I do my best to treat treats and baked goods as that and have them in moderation.

What functional medicine doctor do you see? I live in the Bay Area too and am looking for one.

What brand, size, and model is the pot you are serving the spinach artichoke dip in (in the video of the appetizers you served your dinner guests)?
