I received a short and sweet email from my father-in-law, Tony with a recipe attached for “Crustless Cranberry Pie”.  The email stated, “Mickie thought you might like the recipe,” from your favorite PAPA in law. 🙂 Mickie is my Mother-in-law….a great one at that! And she was right, I DID love the recipe!  And so […]

I am not crazy about the cold weather…How about you? Look who showed up this morning? Yup…Mr. Jack Frost! Ugh….Last night we bought our Christmas tree.  Decorating the tree brings back so many memories of years gone by….when picking out the holiday tree took quite a while with 5 different personalities intent on finding the […]

We all are a bit gluttonous on Thanksgiving…it sort of goes with the territory..or maybe that’s just me 🙂 This year we are heading to the Big Apple again to take in the Macy’s Day Parade.  We went last year–and had such a great time–we decided to go again! So…for my favorite FODMAPers –don’t fret….I’ve […]

One of my favorite dishes in the world and one that my Italian father-in-law Tony loves equally as well–if I had to guess–is Shrimp Scampi. Am I right, Tony? This version is relatively easy to prepare –and most of the work happens in your oven.   I love recipes that I can prepare pretty much […]

Just a quick post today about hummus.  It’s an awesome snack food made with fiber rich chickpeas, tahini, garlic and everything a healthy heart could ask for….but for people with a FODMAP sensitivity–hummus can be a gut wrencher. That’s because garlic has fructans, tahini just a 1/2 tablespoon is a source of GOS and fructans […]

The leaves are slowly falling off the trees here in New England. It’s a bit overcast today…a great morning to take my time and whip up a new recipe. On the docket today:  Sweet Potato Pancakes with chopped walnuts infused with cinnamon and cloves–topped with a little butter and maple sugar.  Super easy and delicious. […]

Most people think anything spicy is a no go for people with IBS–but that is not always the case.  Some of my clients enjoy hot and spicy foods quite nicely. If you happen to be a spicy food aficionado –then you might like these hot balls….Buffalo Chicken Meatballs.  OMG–they are delish! Don’t they look yummy? […]

My next post will include my ramblings from the 2 digestive health conferences I attended in the last week and a half!  Honestly, I need to let my brain marinate just a bit longer so that I can sort and sift the main take away messages. Seriously, I have knowledge overload. This weekend I tried […]
