I seriously crave kale.  Not sure if that is a ‘dietitian thing’ but it really is one of my favorite salad ingredients. Isn’t this kale gorgeous? Today…I have a kale recipe for you….but first let me fill you in on why I made this recipe… Last Friday, my daughter Chelsea had her wisdom teeth out….all […]

Happy Sunday! I truly love the weekends.  Russ and I get in our morning run, indulge in a Starbucks coffee and ease in to our day just a little slower.  The weather is slowly turning here in New England…slightly warmer…YAY, for that! This weekend there was a big conference in Miami called Gut Microbiota for Health […]

I have been dreaming about how I could fit in as much yumminess into one half of a Idaho potato as I possibly could…and I think I did good. Check out this big guy… right now! I cooked up 2 big ‘ol baking potatoes in the oven–350 degrees for about 1 hour. Then I cut […]

During the Christmas holiday, my good friend, Meg, brings me a plate full of her tasty biscotti.  It’s not like typical twice baked crunchy biscotti but rather a cake-like biscotti.  It’s not super sweet…but sweet enough. And I LOVE it! I finally asked Meg for the recipe this year and decided it might be easy […]

Happy Monday! Well….here’s to a good week ahead.  I am heading to San Diego to educate more dietitians on the science and application of the low FODMAP diet this week.  Not a bad gig!  San Diego is a fun city and the weather forecast looks stellar–70-80’s! Yahoo! Then, I will fly up to Portland, Oregon […]

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 […]

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!  I have a super busy week ahead! I am speaking at the 17th Neurogastroenterology & Motility Scientific Meeting in Huntington Beach, California on FODMAPs (of course!) on Friday.  Then from there, I fly to Chicago to attend the International Celiac Disease Symposium and provide a FODMAP workshop after the conference.  I […]
