Being part of a CSA (community supported agriculture-farm share program), I have many roots (veggies) in my life. As the cold weather approaches, warm soups and hearty stews once again make their winter debut.  Why not add a mix of flavorful root vegetables to your favorite recipe? After months of retrieving nutrients from the soil, […]

Russ and I headed to Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm today to pick up our winter share. We picked up butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, fresh herbs and more. Here’s just a few of the treasures from our farm share. I always get inspired by fresh produce and today was no different. I […]

Last week I received some product samples from Udi’s. Udi’s is the maker of many very tasty gluten free breads, cereals, pizza crusts and more. Many of their products are not only gluten free but also #FODMAP friendly. As many of you are aware, as a registered dietitian, I work with people with digestive health […]

Thankfully, we survived the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy but I am afraid many people are still without power and have a lot of cleanup and repair before their communities can try to get back to some semblance of normalcy.  These horrific events make me grateful for the little and big things in my life.  Family, […]

Before I start my post…I just need to share some very exciting news for my FODMAP peeps.  A new app is coming soon from the Monash team that will help you identify which foods are high, moderate and low in FODMAP.  How exciting is that???  I am beyond excited.  Here is a short article about […]

Again, I was inspired by a recipe on Pinterest.  Honestly, that site is so addictive.  This week’s recipe find was a delicious looking sweet potato concoction. Here is the original post. It looks amazing, but it is not at all  FODMAPs friendly.  So I modified the recipe, as I have been known to do. 🙂 […]

It’s that time of year again! Got out my slow cooker for some warm and hearty dinner recipes. I love when my food cooks while I am busy doing other fun things. While I was creating this slow cooker chicken dish I am about to share with you, my son, Brennan asked why I don’t […]

I love coconut anything. So last night I decided to make some Creamy Coconut Rice for the very first time. This is a quick fix recipe and my son, Brennan gave it the BIG thumbs up. I typically use brown rice in my recipes.  I buy the Trader Joe’s frozen pre-cooked rice and use when […]

This weekend, Russ and I had a nice mix of exercise and relaxing. We visited a dairy farm with my Mom in Rhode Island, close to where she grew up as a child, called Wright’s Dairy Farm. There’s lots of creamy goodness at Wrights! The treats are very rich and very tasty but what I […]
