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 […]

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 […]
