Kitchen Confidence: The Lazy Person’s AIP Meal Template | Small Bite (Ep 082)

Kitchen Confidence: The Lazy Person’s AIP Meal Template (Small Bite) | Episode 82

If you’ve ever felt like AIP requires too much thinking in the kitchen, you’re not wrong.

Between figuring out what to cook, how to combine ingredients, and whether you have what you need, relying on recipes for every meal can quickly become overwhelming.

But AIP doesn’t have to feel that complicated.

In this Small Bite episode of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, Mickey Trescott introduces a simpler approach: flexible meal templates that take the guesswork out of cooking.

Instead of starting from scratch every time, these templates give you a repeatable structure you can use with whatever ingredients you have on hand—making meals easier, faster, and more sustainable.

You’ll hear about:

Why relying on recipes can increase decision fatigue
How meal templates simplify everyday AIP cooking
The foundational formula: protein + vegetables + fat
How to batch cook and mix-and-match meals throughout the week
The skillet meal method for quick, one-pan cooking
How to layer ingredients for better texture and flavor
The “fridge dump” soup and stew approach for using leftovers
How to build a satisfying, balanced “big salad”
Why flexible structure supports long-term consistency

You don’t need more recipes to succeed on AIP—you need a system that works on your busiest days.
