Well….Happy Tuesday!  I am on my way back to Boston after a wonderful visit to the Big Apple.  This trip was a mix between business and pleasure….but since I love my career, it felt a bit more like one big trip of pleasure.  The best part, of course, was spending some well-needed one-on-one time with […]

For those of us with a little bitty sweet tooth, I have found a portable FODMAP friendly snack that you  just might enjoy…and, it was right in my own backyard!  Well, not literary in my backyard but baking up in a local Massachusetts kitchen. I love supporting local businesses and it makes me really happy […]

I have been craving kale lately.  Do you think only nutritionist’s say things like that?  Ha!  It sounds way too nutritionist-like. 🙂 I really do love kale salad–especially with a hint of  lemon and topped with my mustard dressing.  I like to kick up kale with a bit of feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, some pumpkin […]

I made some Huevos Rancheros this week.  Say what??  I know, I am not a Huevos Rancheros expert, but I like the idea of layering a poached egg, salsa and cheddar cheese on a toasted corn tortilla.  A great breakfast option for the weekend, right?

Well… this year I will be somewhat of a road warrior… I have a bunch of upcoming talks and presentations on various digestive health topics around the US in 2013.  …And the number one topic, of course, is the low FODMAP diet. This diet that has been life changing for many of my clients and […]

I was reading my Oprah magazine before bed one night this week and found a very interesting article.  Ya know, an ‘aha’ moment article. In the article, Oprah mentioned a time that she was betrayed by a family member…relaying how difficult this was for her. In reflection,Oprah concluded  that although that was a difficult situation […]

My son Brennan has been on a chicken salad kick.  So, I decided to whip some up last week!  I would rather he take some chicken on his sandwich than revert back to processed deli meats, which we could all do without. I have to say, my German Dad was a huge cold cut man. […]

I hope everyone is surviving the holiday season… As a holiday gift, Russ and I gave to each other a trip to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for two nights to regroup, relax, and unwind a bit before the new year. Portsmouth is a quaint historic seaport with great shops and restaurants. We relaxed in the outdoor […]
