Have you ever really looked at all the ingredients on the bread you buy?  I find myself feeling so frustrated when I run into my local grocery store to grab a loaf of bread and can’t find one with simple recognizable ingredients.  Event the store’s bakery breads often contain high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats […]

This is one of those quick and easy fall back recipes for the autumn or wintertime when you don’t mind heating up your kitchen. No major ingredients necessary, just your favorite mustard, whole wheat bread crumbs (FODMAPers sub in brown rice bread crumbs), butter and center cut pork chops trimmed of fat. I serve this […]

I have been thinking about this making a pear salad for a while now and when I received a boatload of amazing baby salad greens from my winter share at the Medway Community Farm CSA, I new today was the day. Look at how amazing these greens look! Farmer Brittany tells me that the greens […]

  It’s always fun to connect with great people.  Russ and I were lucky to spend some time with Linda and Ed Davey at their home to enjoy an amazing meal together. We first started out with some homemade garlicky bean dip served with Linda’s homemade sourdough bread. Okay, how lucky are we? Then Linda […]

Yum.  That’s all I have to say. I like using toasted sesame oil and reduced sodium tamari as I think they taste so good.  This is what I used for this recipe. This recipe calls for baby bok choy too, which looks like this–> I like the baby bok choy best-it’s tender and mildly delicious! […]
