Happy Sunday!  And Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I loved this quotable I found online….and so very true.   I am busy editing the final stages of my low FODMAP e-cookbook.  I was so fortunate to have the Monash University FODMAP researchers review my cookbook to ensure that it’s FODMAP friendly.  I hope it will be […]

Russ and I bought a big bowl of chopped fruit salad from Whole Foods this past weekend.  Sometimes it can be less expensive to buy the fruit all diced and sliced then purchasing a bunch of the whole fruits and then doing all the work.   The bowl was full of cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwifruit, strawberries, […]

My son Kevin is home for his college break and we decided to drive to Nashua, New Hampshire and try out some free falling… Yup, FREE FALLING!  Kevin and I signed up to go into a vertical wind tunnel that simulates free falling or skydiving. How cool is that?! We went to Sky Venture and […]

I discovered a yummy new ingredient…thanks to one of my blog readers, Liz!  Thanks Liz for leading me to these little maple flakes.  That would be Maple flakes by Tonewood.  These little flakes of maple syrup add a little crunch and sweetness to my carrot cake yogurt parfait.  See them on the bottom left of […]

We all strive for balance and some of us are better at achieving life balance than others.  I feel I have worked out the work- life-balance equation pretty well but sometimes I simply ‘sign up’ for too many things at once and tip my scale of balance into over-load. Oops!  But I think that happens […]

For some reason, I have been seriously craving Chicken Tortilla Soup…I have been dreaming up how I could make this easy for my FODMAPers with a sensitive tummy.  This was the easiest soup ever…and next time I will use rotisserie chicken and make it even easier! I chopped and diced some chicken breast and sauteed […]

Russ and I have the BEST linens for our bed. They are made from bamboo and are super soft and ridiculously cozy.  Since we spend about 1/3 of our life in bed, why not make it special?   So…on this snowy and cold morning, I was a bit unmotivated to get out of my  toasty […]

Well….HAPPY Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week!  I had a great week working with many FODMAPers!  I am so grateful that I chose a career that allows me to work with people and help them feel better so they can get on with their productive and happy lives. 🙂 I am quite happy […]

I had the pleasure of meeting Toni Fiori, a University of Massachusetts nutrition student with great energy and a love for food and health.  I knew she would provide a nice blog post for you….and she delivered.  She created an amazing looking dish, stuffed eggplants with tomatoes, quinoa, ground chicken, herbs and a nice smattering […]
