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, […]

My friend, Sophie, posted a teriyaki style meatball recipe recently on Facebook–and well that just got me totally craving teriyaki chicken meatballs.  So, I made some…low FODMAP style, of course. I have never been a fan of ground beef.  Not sure why that is but…it just never appealed to me. But, I love using ground […]

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 […]

Although it’s not a typical Bostonian staple,  a bowl of warm grits is truly one of my favorite comfort foods. Especially when made with a little milk and cheddar cheese. MMMMmmm….mmmm. A big bowl of steaming grits was one of my favorite pre-exam foods from back at my college days at Emory University in Atlanta, […]

Hello Friends! I have been busy!  I just traveled to Little Rock to  speak at Arkansas’ Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Spring Conference on the low FODMAP diet this past Saturday!   I enjoyed a nice dinner out with some fellow dietitians and enjoyed the city of Little Rock. Before I headed out for Arkansas, […]

Happy April Fool’s Day!  I have a habit of fooling my husband on April Fool’s Day ….but he snuck out for an early flight this morning so I couldn’t ‘get him’ this year!  One year I had my friend who was also our insurance agent send my husband a fake itemized bill for $4,000 for […]

This recipe is inspired by a Martha Stewart recipe titled cornmeal-cherry cookies and my favorite Dancing Deer cornmeal biscotti.  I love anything made with cornmeal.  Sooooo…..good! I morphed the recipe a little to make it low in FODMAPs. Dried fruit tends to be high FODMAP but dried cranberries in small amounts (1 TB) are okay. […]

I seriously crave kale.  Not sure if that is a ‘dietitian thing’ but it really is one of my favorite salad ingredients. Isn’t this kale gorgeous? Today…I have a kale recipe for you….but first let me fill you in on why I made this recipe… Last Friday, my daughter Chelsea had her wisdom teeth out….all […]

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 […]
