Most people think anything spicy is a no go for people with IBS–but that is not always the case.  Some of my clients enjoy hot and spicy foods quite nicely. If you happen to be a spicy food aficionado –then you might like these hot balls….Buffalo Chicken Meatballs.  OMG–they are delish! Don’t they look yummy? […]

My next post will include my ramblings from the 2 digestive health conferences I attended in the last week and a half!  Honestly, I need to let my brain marinate just a bit longer so that I can sort and sift the main take away messages. Seriously, I have knowledge overload. This weekend I tried […]

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!  I have a super busy week ahead! I am speaking at the 17th Neurogastroenterology & Motility Scientific Meeting in Huntington Beach, California on FODMAPs (of course!) on Friday.  Then from there, I fly to Chicago to attend the International Celiac Disease Symposium and provide a FODMAP workshop after the conference.  I […]

Tonight I made a little cornmeal based soufflé   (I was feeling a bit fancy in the kitchen! Ha!) On vacation this summer, I enjoyed a very nice polenta dish that was sweet not savory…with little bits of corn added. It was so… good. So that dish was my inspiration! The recipe I made tonight might not […]

The sun is shining and I am excited to get outside!  It is very clear that the weather is taking a turn and the fall cool weather is in the air.  I love fall….but the winter that follows….not so much. This week I felt like roasting up some eggplant.  We didn’t have any eggplant in […]

It’s still officially summer, but I broke out my slow cooker today.  I think about slow cooker meals as an essential for the fall and winter ….so I am getting a bit of a jump start! 🙂 I tossed some chicken tenders, diced tomatoes, cumin, chipotle chili powder and 2 of my farm share bell […]

I whipped up a smoothie today with some ingredients I had on hand. Do you remember the Harry Nielsson song titled, Coconut? “You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up “ Well that is exactly what I did…BUT I added some blueberries and yogurt too! {and of course, some chia seeds} I am […]

Well…Hello. Today, I made Mustard-y Pretzel Crusted Chicken. Whoa…Nelly! This recipe was sooooooo good.  For non-FODMAPs simply use regular pretzels, I used gluten free Snyder’s pretzels today.   Well…I feel like I have been away from my blog for some time now… We had a wonderfully blissful time in Nantucket last week on vacation.  It […]

Every Tuesday has become the Scarlata family fresh fish night.  I am so proud of myself 🙂 because I know how good fish is for the body, but I have never really gravitated toward eating it. I have to say, when you can get a fresh (never frozen, off the boat) piece of fish and […]
