I thought I would experiment with a little gluten free baking since we are stuck inside with the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. On the menu…homemade graham crackers. Graham crackers are one of my most favorite comfort foods. I just love ’em. I was inspired by one of my colleagues, The Spicy RD who posted a […]

Well…Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful week.  My week was extremely busy.  My mom fell last Friday and ended up in the hospital.  She is recovering beautifully, thankfully.  She is an 87 years old, mother of nine and is extremely resilient.  But needless to say, it was a tough week for me. […]

What have you done for yourself lately? Some people are really good at prioritizing their needs first.  Some of us just need a little reminder to set aside some me time! I do think some people are better at giving than receiving.  Some are better at caring for others than themselves.  Perhaps it’s all in […]

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 […]

Cooler weather is coming to New England and the pumpkins are out! And while the leaves fall from the trees, the plants take on their own ‘Fallish’ beauty. Look at the hue on this hydrangea.  Cooler weather makes me want to bake. 🙂 I like adding vegetables and fruits to my favorite recipes to maximize […]

My daughter, Chelsea turned me on to this recipe.  It’s like a burger but made with canned tuna fish. This recipe is easy and I seem to always have all the required ingredients on hand! Tuna Cakes are  budget friendly and a healthy way to sneak in another fish meal during the week. I can’t […]

You asked…and I did it! I created a low FODMAP BBQ sauce.  This sauce is tasty, sweeeeeet and homemade (sans FODMAPs!)  But, I have to admit this was NO easy task! I tried a few times until I got it right. I am usually pretty good mastering recipes but this one was tricky.  I hope […]

This weekend, I headed to Philadelphia to meet up with about 10, 000 registered dietitians for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual meeting, AKA #FNCE (Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo). Not the place you’d want to be caught eating twinkies and drinking soda…Ha! I will tell you it is a BIG conference with […]

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. 🙂 […]
