Happy Memorial Day, Friends. We just got back from a bit of a whirlwind trip to NYC and Philadelphia! My daughter, Chelsea Rose graduated from college!  And we couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments!   The fam. We enjoyed 2 graduation ceremonies, lots of great food in the city (as always!) and even tried […]

One of my clients told me she used quinoa in place of granola in her yogurt parfaits.  I LOVE this idea! So I whipped up a recipe to share with you! Check out this yumminess.  Russ and I love to add quinoa to our hot breakfast cereals.  We toss in steel cut oats and oat […]

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 […]

Did I mention that I LOVE Pinterest!  It’s such a fun website to find new recipe inspirations.  Click here to follow my pinterest boards (I have a couple dedicated to low FODMAP recipes)  I ‘pin’ mostly healthy foods but of course, some recipes I pin because they just look fun and tasty. I found this […]

With my recent peanut butter give-a-way, I can’t get peanut-y treats out of my mind. So…I whipped up some flourless peanut butter cookies today and threw in some roughly chopped peanuts fresh from the shell…and some 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips.  Woooooo….Yes! So very yum.  I ate 3 right out of the oven. oops! I […]
