Today’s recipe is inspired from a FODMAPer, Chris…who happens to be a chef as well.  I had never thought about grilling romaine lettuce before!  Have you ever grilled lettuce? Well, check it out! This recipe is so simple and yet….might become my new favorite! All you need to have on hand:  1 head of romaine, […]

The recipe of the day…Ta Dah!…Stuff a Spud! This little recipe is so easy and versatile as you can really top a spud with any of your favorite veggies, cheeses, herbs and even meats.  We enjoyed our potatoes with a side of delicious marinated lean steak. In a previous post, I did a Breakfast Potato, […]

I love coconut anything. So last night I decided to make some Creamy Coconut Rice for the very first time. This is a quick fix recipe and my son, Brennan gave it the BIG thumbs up. I typically use brown rice in my recipes.  I buy the Trader Joe’s frozen pre-cooked rice and use when […]

This weekend, Russ and I had a nice mix of exercise and relaxing. We visited a dairy farm with my Mom in Rhode Island, close to where she grew up as a child, called Wright’s Dairy Farm. There’s lots of creamy goodness at Wrights! The treats are very rich and very tasty but what I […]

Want the recipe?  Well, then….It is not my own, so…..Check out the recipe here! Serious yum! My husband, Russ was all over these potatoes.  He loved ’em.  And when Russ is happy, […]

Happy Monday Everyone! Mondays aren’t my most favorite day … perhaps because Russ and I always have SO much fun on our weekends!  This past weekend we headed to Saratoga Springs, New York! We visited with my friend Dianna (who I met during my dietetic internship at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital) her husband Neil […]

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend.  I took a little road trip to Wickford, Rhode Island with my girlfriend Michelle on Saturday.  Wickford is a small coastal town with fun shops and a handful of restaurants.  It’s always good to put special time on the calendar to get caught up with friends.   Outside […]
