Well, Hello from Washington DC. I have been here now for 5 days and been very busy! I should say, busy but loving it. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I was asked to speak at a patient symposium hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  This symposium covered all types […]

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a new recipe for Low FODMAP Parsnip Cake! I am a fan of breads and cakes with shredded veggies in them (perhaps a dietitian thing?) –zucchini bread, carrot cake, and my latest fav…parsnip cake.  When I visited U Michigan this May, I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with some colleagues. […]

Typically, I enjoy summer squash (zucchini and summer squash) grilled or sautéed in a skillet, but last night we enjoyed the squash uncooked in a salad.  This is a quick fix side dish when you don’t feel like heating up the grill or stovetop. Simply cut (washed) zucchini and summer squash into very thin diagonal […]

Hello there! I hope your week is going well so far.  The weather here has been fantastic…which always makes me SO happy! I had a full day today mostly working on my slides for my upcoming presentation on the low FODMAP diet in Washington DC @ the  Expert Update on Treatments for Functional GI Disorders: […]

The recipe of the day…Ta Dah!…Stuff a Spud! This little recipe is so easy and versatile as you can really top a spud with any of your favorite veggies, cheeses, herbs and even meats.  We enjoyed our potatoes with a side of delicious marinated lean steak. In a previous post, I did a Breakfast Potato, […]

Hey FODMAPers…and friends… I am heading out to Paris (Yay!) for a well needed vacation with the love of my life. I am unplugging from my blog and all of my work for 2 weeks. We all need to take a back seat and float downstream to re-charge…it’s an important part of living a well-balanced […]

Okay…I am so excited to be at U Michigan to speak about FODMAPs today! I have a very detailed agenda…so I will keep this post short and sweet!  First stop, at 7:30 AM this morning (up and at ’em) I spoke at U Michigan GI grand rounds.  Did I mention, I LOVE my job!?  What […]

My friend, Sophie, posted a teriyaki style meatball recipe recently on Facebook–and well that just got me totally craving teriyaki chicken meatballs.  So, I made some…low FODMAP style, of course. I have never been a fan of ground beef.  Not sure why that is but…it just never appealed to me. But, I love using ground […]

Happy Monday! I am back from a mini tour of FODMAP educating! I did a FODMAP dietitian workshop in New Jersey and Phili on Friday and Saturday.  I love working with dietitians and teaching the FODMAP diet! Here I am with Patsy Catsos, my co-presenter!This week in Chicago gastroenterologists and health care professionals are meeting […]
