I love the sweet flavor and the nutrition profile. One medium carrot is rich in Vitamin A, beta-carotene and has a mere 25 calories and 2 grams of fiber. Carrots have no detectable FODMAPs per the Monash app. If you purchase multi-colored carrots you will ingest a few […]]]> https://blog.katescarlata.com/2018/10/16/roasted-carrots-with-maple-yogurt-almond-topping/feed/ 5 12152 https://blog.katescarlata.com/2014/12/16/diet-piece-pie/ https://blog.katescarlata.com/2014/12/16/diet-piece-pie/#comments Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:53:29 +0000 https://blog.katescarlata.com/?p=7417 When it comes to managing IBS and other functional gut disorder symptoms, your diet might be only a piece of the pie. From burning reflux, debilitating gas or bloating to urgent diarrhea or unrelenting constipation, digestive health distress impacts millions of Americans.

GMOs stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. I am not an expert on GMOs but I asked my colleague, dietitian Nicole Cormier, who is better versed in this topic to […]]]> https://blog.katescarlata.com/2014/09/30/gmos/feed/ 3 7116 https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/09/11/creamy-polenta-with-thyme-and-parmesan/ Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:40:20 +0000 https://blog.katescarlata.com/?p=3541 I love anything made with corn meal and creamy polenta is one of my favorites. Like mashed potatoes and gravy, polenta is truly a comfort food (and perhaps a bit healthier.) Just look at this creaminess dish of love. Being married to an Italian, I do like to experiment with traditional Italian dishes.  Polenta is […]]]> 3541 https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/08/08/mediterranean-salad-with-feta/ https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/08/08/mediterranean-salad-with-feta/#comments Wed, 08 Aug 2012 04:15:17 +0000 https://blog.katescarlata.com/?p=3210 I whipped up a pasta salad for a family picnic this past weekend but while I was chopping and dicing the vegetables to mix in with the pasta, I realized that I really liked the vegetable mixture all on it’s own.  A nice refreshing blend of summer veggies with a lemon dill dressing and topped […]]]> https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/08/08/mediterranean-salad-with-feta/feed/ 4 3210 https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/08/06/homemade-trail-mix/ https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/08/06/homemade-trail-mix/#comments Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:03:38 +0000 https://blog.katescarlata.com/?p=3212 Hope you enjoyed the weekend!  We visited with our extended family in New Hampshire and enjoyed a little lake time.  I love watching the kids hanging out together…even though they don’t see each other that often, they re-connect like no time has been lost.
