Happy Sunday! I truly love the weekends. Russ and I get in our morning run, indulge in a Starbucks coffee and ease in to our day just a little slower. The weather is slowly turning here in New England…slightly warmer…YAY, for that! This weekend there was a big conference in Miami called Gut Microbiota for Health […]

Greek Orzo
Happy Monday! Well….here’s to a good week ahead. I am heading to San Diego to educate more dietitians on the science and application of the low FODMAP diet this week. Not a bad gig! San Diego is a fun city and the weather forecast looks stellar–70-80’s! Yahoo! Then, I will fly up to Portland, Oregon […]
Continue ReadingThanksgiving Tummy Tamer!
We all are a bit gluttonous on Thanksgiving…it sort of goes with the territory..or maybe that’s just me 🙂 This year we are heading to the Big Apple again to take in the Macy’s Day Parade. We went last year–and had such a great time–we decided to go again! So…for my favorite FODMAPers –don’t fret….I’ve […]

The recipe I made tonight might not […]

It’s blueberry season. This makes me happy. Love bluebz. Do you? Here’s some blueberries from one of my favorite places on earth, Tangerini’s farm. Even though we are in the midst of a heatwave, I loved plucking these fresh blueberries today to eat right away. Today I whipped up a nice refreshing salad with some […]

One of my favorite Whole Foods Market’s salads is their Israeli Couscous salad. Couscous is a source of wheat and so is not tolerated by everyone…so… I thought I might create a similar salad with sorghum. Sorghum is a high fiber gluten free grain. Since I bought a big bag of it, I wanted to […]

Look what I made today! It’s Lentil Pilaf! Honestly, growing up I can’t remember a lentil ever coming across my plate but raising my own kids I have been known to slip in a few lentils every now and again. 🙂 My first introduction to lentils came in the form of Near East Lentil […]
