It’s time to say, “Happy Birthday to the USA!”  …and who doesn’t like fireworks, parades, cookouts, and yummy desserts? To get you in the RED, WHITE and BLUE spirit, I have a few fun dessert inspirations to share for the low FODMAP diet follower gearing up for the celebrations. For the above recipes, check out […]

Delectable low FODMAP chocolate and peanut butter lava cake.

I actually had a couple hours of unexpected free time yesterday which usually translates into, “What recipe should I try?” time.  I love having time to have fun in the kitchen!  I have been wanting to try to make a tasty peanut butter granola… so that is what I made!  I’ve been a bit all […]
