Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!  I have a super busy week ahead! I am speaking at the 17th Neurogastroenterology & Motility Scientific Meeting in Huntington Beach, California on FODMAPs (of course!) on Friday.  Then from there, I fly to Chicago to attend the International Celiac Disease Symposium and provide a FODMAP workshop after the conference.  I […]

Tonight I made a little cornmeal based soufflé   (I was feeling a bit fancy in the kitchen! Ha!) On vacation this summer, I enjoyed a very nice polenta dish that was sweet not savory…with little bits of corn added. It was so… good. So that dish was my inspiration! The recipe I made tonight might not […]

The sun is shining and I am excited to get outside!  It is very clear that the weather is taking a turn and the fall cool weather is in the air.  I love fall….but the winter that follows….not so much. This week I felt like roasting up some eggplant.  We didn’t have any eggplant in […]

It’s still officially summer, but I broke out my slow cooker today.  I think about slow cooker meals as an essential for the fall and winter ….so I am getting a bit of a jump start! 🙂 I tossed some chicken tenders, diced tomatoes, cumin, chipotle chili powder and 2 of my farm share bell […]

I whipped up a smoothie today with some ingredients I had on hand. Do you remember the Harry Nielsson song titled, Coconut? “You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up “ Well that is exactly what I did…BUT I added some blueberries and yogurt too! {and of course, some chia seeds} I am […]

Well…Hello. Today, I made Mustard-y Pretzel Crusted Chicken. Whoa…Nelly! This recipe was sooooooo good.  For non-FODMAPs simply use regular pretzels, I used gluten free Snyder’s pretzels today.   Well…I feel like I have been away from my blog for some time now… We had a wonderfully blissful time in Nantucket last week on vacation.  It […]

This week we are hanging in Nantucket.  Not a bad gig. I love this island. We left our car and our stress on the mainland.  Got some bikes, a beach blanket and pretty much that is all we need for the week. Love the old-fashioned feel of this island. Love biking in a dress, do […]

Every Tuesday has become the Scarlata family fresh fish night.  I am so proud of myself 🙂 because I know how good fish is for the body, but I have never really gravitated toward eating it. I have to say, when you can get a fresh (never frozen, off the boat) piece of fish and […]

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend! Russ, our boys and my Mom went up to New Hampshire to visit with my sister Trisha and her boyfriend Mark.  They live near a beautiful lake and we all relaxed and took it down a notch. I so…love the summertime. We ended Saturday night with a […]
