Hello there! I hope your week is going well so far.  The weather here has been fantastic…which always makes me SO happy! I had a full day today mostly working on my slides for my upcoming presentation on the low FODMAP diet in Washington DC @ the  Expert Update on Treatments for Functional GI Disorders: […]

The recipe of the day…Ta Dah!…Stuff a Spud! This little recipe is so easy and versatile as you can really top a spud with any of your favorite veggies, cheeses, herbs and even meats.  We enjoyed our potatoes with a side of delicious marinated lean steak. In a previous post, I did a Breakfast Potato, […]

Hey FODMAPers…and friends… I am heading out to Paris (Yay!) for a well needed vacation with the love of my life. I am unplugging from my blog and all of my work for 2 weeks. We all need to take a back seat and float downstream to re-charge…it’s an important part of living a well-balanced […]

Happy Monday! The sun is shining in my backyard this morning….which is a happy sight after a mostly rainy weekend. Despite the rain, Russ and I got in two nice runs.  Spring is sprung…and the green grass and budding trees are really so nice to see after our brutally cold winter! I am gearing up […]
