Say hello to berry season. I love this time of year!
Okay, the local berries are not quite yet available for picking but they will be very soon! The markets are offering fresh berries at a lower cost this time of year…which makes me very happy!
I was totally craving some berry yumminess… so look what I made..
A delicious low FODMAP (and gluten free) berry cobbler! 
To make the cobbler more decadent, I added some So Delicious vanilla coconut ice cream on top and a handful of chopped walnuts. Soooo goood. My husband said he’d call this cobbler, “Living the Dream Cake!” Ha! 🙂
The cobbler makes 6 servings and I baked it up in my cast iron skillet. You can bake this recipe in a pie plate instead if you don’t have a cast iron skillet. I used strawberries and blueberries in this recipe. Since strawberries contain less FODMAPs than blueberries–I just used a bit more strawberries than blueberries in the recipe.
I really don’t like to get too fussy in the kitchen. I like meals and treats I can whip up fairly easily. Are you with me?
This cobbler was easy to prepare and super fun to eat. 🙂 I ate some before dinner. Don’t judge. 😉
I love a dessert that contains some nutritional powerhouses. The nutritious berries and walnuts are good for gut health! So for a dessert, I say this one is healthy-ish! Yay for that.
In other news…

OOOOOH Love this!!! Looks amazing and I might have everything I need to make this.
No judgement here, I love a little (ok, a lot) dessert before dinner.

Dessert before dinner and then again after dinner–is my rule of thumb! 🙂

hi
I live in Ashland, MA and am looking for someone who takes Mass Health, PCC to guide me through the Low FODMAP diet. I saw a nurse practitioner at my primary care’s office who was very nice but not that knowledgeable about this diet as related to someone with a 30 year history of irritable bowel syndrome . i’ve been trying to follow what I think is low FODMAP with the use of print outs from my GI practitioner and the internet including this site. if anyone can help with this problem I would be very grateful.
