I made some Huevos Rancheros this week.  Say what??  I know, I am not a Huevos Rancheros expert, but I like the idea of layering a poached egg, salsa and cheddar cheese on a toasted corn tortilla.  A great breakfast option for the weekend, right? I never poach eggs but wanted to include a poached egg […]

I played in the kitchen this morning.  I love when I can do that! This morning, I made crepes.  Yum.  I am calling these buckwheat crepes because they have buckwheat flour in them…but really they are made with a mixture of gluten free flours.  For the wheat tolerant-simply use whole wheat pastry flour or your […]

Well… this year I will be somewhat of a road warrior… I have a bunch of upcoming talks and presentations on various digestive health topics around the US in 2013.  …And the number one topic, of course, is the low FODMAP diet. This diet that has been life changing for many of my clients and […]

Any ‘firsts’..first time running, skiing, flying in a hot air balloon, trying a new food? (Picture above from Love Life 2009 Compendium compiled by D Zadra & K Wills) One of my goals for 2012, […]

I love the holiday season, especially this year. My two oldest children have been away at college, and I am SO very happy to have them home again. I really love seeing them hanging out together.  Laughing. Talking. Just being them. I love hearing my son bound down the stairs…I missed that when he’s away. I love […]
