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. 🙂 […]

You may not know this about me but I am a SERIOUS sprinkle collector. When traveling here in the US and even more so when traveling out of the country, I always check out the local grocery store for different sprinkles. Here’s about 1/8th of my collection… With the upcoming Halloween holiday, I thought I […]

This morning, my friendly chocolate lab, Lucy woke me up at 5 AM.   I can’t really complain because my husband Russ got up with her and with our hungry cats, Molly and Ed. But while I lay half asleep, I starting thinking about what I wanted for breakfast on this rainy Saturday morning. I […]

This simple frozen concoction was creamy and yummy and contains no added sugars–just the natural sweetness from the frozen bananas. When I am craving something sweet after dinner (I hate to admit that happens nightly), I may opt to whip up some of this creamy goodness. My dietitian colleague, Janel, turned me on to making […]

I love risotto but cooking it can be cumbersome.  The process requires constant stirring and the addition of  hot broth every second–or maybe it just seems that way– and sometimes, I simply don’t have the time to spend over the stove. That is why, I love my slow cooker. Simple add your favorite risotto ingredients […]

The weather has changed in New England and really I am okay with that.  Sunny and a little cooler.  Nice. Fall is full of lots of bright colors and foliage–pumpkins and gourds…I love it! This weekend, we did a little more celebrating of my husband Russ’ big 5-0 birthday!  I invited one of our favorite […]

It’s that time of year again! Got out my slow cooker for some warm and hearty dinner recipes. I love when my food cooks while I am busy doing other fun things. While I was creating this slow cooker chicken dish I am about to share with you, my son, Brennan asked why I don’t […]
