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 […]

Well….the new blog is up! Woot! Woot!  I am still working out some tweaks but it should be fully functional in the next month or so. Bear with me…while it’s a bit of a construction site.  I am trying to make it a bit easier to navigate. Today, I thought I would share with you […]

And I LOVE it! I finally asked Meg for the recipe this year and decided it might be easy […]

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 […]

Let’s talk lasagna. Kids love it and so does my Italian husband.  So…I decided to give a FODMAP friendly version a whirl. Typically lasagna is made with wheat rich pasta but you can find wheat free lasagna noodles at most large grocery stores. I purchased some brown rice lasagna noodles, a couple cans of plain […]
