Blueberry, Lemon and Ginger Smoothie

This morning, I pulled out my 30 year old Vitamix (Vita-mixer) and made a smoothie. My Vitamix still works great after 30 years and I am taking it with us when we go RVing full time. Thirty years ago, I was a stay at home mom with a huge garden. I made tomato sauce by […]

Ethiopian Greens for New Year’s Day

As New Year rolls around, my thoughts drift back to my Southern childhood. We always had at least one of the following greens, turnip greens, mustard greens or collard greens, on New Year’s Day. Very often turnip greens and mustard greens were cooked together. If we had collard greens, they weren’t mixed with another type […]

Instant Pot Key Wat (Ethiopian Beef Stew)

I started with a recipe on how to make Key Wat in the Instant Pot from SpiceCravings.com. Key Wat is a lovely rich and spicy stew and makes a fun change from traditional beef stew. While it is traditionally served on Injera bread, I find it is also delicious served over polenta or rice. Serves […]

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 […]

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 […]
