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! The sun is shining in my backyard this morning….which is a happy sight after a mostly rainy weekend. Despite the rain, Russ and I got in two nice runs.  Spring is sprung…and the green grass and budding trees are really so nice to see after our brutally cold winter! I am gearing up […]

Although it’s not a typical Bostonian staple,  a bowl of warm grits is truly one of my favorite comfort foods. Especially when made with a little milk and cheddar cheese. MMMMmmm….mmmm. A big bowl of steaming grits was one of my favorite pre-exam foods from back at my college days at Emory University in Atlanta, […]

Hello Friends! I have been busy!  I just traveled to Little Rock to  speak at Arkansas’ Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Spring Conference on the low FODMAP diet this past Saturday!   I enjoyed a nice dinner out with some fellow dietitians and enjoyed the city of Little Rock. Before I headed out for Arkansas, […]

I seriously crave kale.  Not sure if that is a ‘dietitian thing’ but it really is one of my favorite salad ingredients. Isn’t this kale gorgeous? Today…I have a kale recipe for you….but first let me fill you in on why I made this recipe… Last Friday, my daughter Chelsea had her wisdom teeth out….all […]

Happy Sunday! I truly love the weekends.  Russ and I get in our morning run, indulge in a Starbucks coffee and ease in to our day just a little slower.  The weather is slowly turning here in New England…slightly warmer…YAY, for that! This weekend there was a big conference in Miami called Gut Microbiota for Health […]

I have been dreaming about how I could fit in as much yumminess into one half of a Idaho potato as I possibly could…and I think I did good. Check out this big guy… right now! I cooked up 2 big ‘ol baking potatoes in the oven–350 degrees for about 1 hour. Then I cut […]

During the Christmas holiday, my good friend, Meg, brings me a plate full of her tasty biscotti.  It’s not like typical twice baked crunchy biscotti but rather a cake-like biscotti.  It’s not super sweet…but sweet enough. And I LOVE it! I finally asked Meg for the recipe this year and decided it might be easy […]

Happy Monday! Well….here’s to a good week ahead.  I am heading to San Diego to educate more dietitians on the science and application of the low FODMAP diet this week.  Not a bad gig!  San Diego is a fun city and the weather forecast looks stellar–70-80’s! Yahoo! Then, I will fly up to Portland, Oregon […]
