Low FODMAP Cranberry Orange Chutney

I love tart cranberries when they are in season. It is so fun to make things with them. This year for Thanksgiving, I made this cranberry orange chutney to go with the lamb rib roast. Since 1 tablespoon of dried cranberries are fine for the low FODMAP diet, I felt that a few more fresh […]

Baby Salad Greens with Persimmons and Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

With fall here, I love to use persimmons as a surprising touch in salads. Serves 4-6

Instant Pot Low FODMAP Stuffed Pepper Soup

With the colder weather last weekend, it felt like a great time to have soup. I put my own spin on the Stuffed Pepper Soup recipe from Skinnytast.com. I changed the original recipe to make it low FODMAP with a Greek spice mix and slightly spicy. It was delicious! Here’s the link to the original […]

Instant Pot Low-FODMAP Beef Stew

I started from the Lazy Day Beef Stew from the The Rootitoot Cookbook, by Ruth “Rootitoot” McCusker. I changed the recipe a good bit to make it low FODMAP and then I simplified a couple of steps to make an even easier “dump” stew. This recipe can even be made with frozen beef cubes. Serves […]

Instant Pot Low FODMAP Pot Roast

Since Bruce is trying to eat a low FODMAP diet, and I had a chuck roast, I looked for a good pot roast recipe that I could modify to be low FODMAP. I found one in The Rootitoot Cookbook, A Grandma’s Recipes for Your Instant Pot by Ruth “Rootitoot” McCusker. If you haven’t discovered her […]

Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

These are a nice appetizer for vegetarians or vegans. They are also dairy free. Serves 12

No Sugar Low FODMAP Banana “Ice Cream”

Now that Bruce is eating a low FODMAP diet, I modified the banana “ice cream” recipe to be low FODMAP. Serves 4 with 3 oz servings

Grilled Peaches with Raspberry Sauce

Peaches at the end of summer are so luscious, bursting with juice. I enjoy grilling them and topping them with a raspberry sauce. The raspberry sauce is based on “The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor” by Gina Homolka, Heather K. Jones used in the Mini Pavlovas with Fresh Fruit recipe. Serves 4

Southwestern BLT Sandwich

(Or How to Make a Sandwich in Fourteen Steps!) I grew up eating tomato sandwiches with tomatoes still warm from the sun. There was nothing like picking a completely ripe tomato and immediately eating it in a sandwich. There is something magical about a sweet and acidic tomato with salt on bread with mayo. When […]

Lavender Italian Soda

Since I made lavender syrup a few days ago, I have been using it. I poured it over blueberries instead of sprinkling them with sugar. The flora note of the lavender was lovely with the blueberries. Bruce makes 5 gallons of seltzer water at a time and keeps it in his kegerator. While we mostly […]
