I have no clue what that title is about. Sorry. I did a lot of baking today and maybe I’m high off the fumes (because vanilla and cinnamon can have that effect right?). This chef-tastic session in the kitchen may have something to do with my breakfast. Gingersnaps make excellent fuel. And by fuel I mean sugar cravings. The problem with having a massive and delicious cookie for breakfast is it sets the bar VERY high for the rest of the day’s food. If you’ve already had dessert nirvana by 9 am, it leaves little… Read more >

Oops! I nearly deleted these pics before I realized I never shared the recipe with you guys! Sorry for this long overdue post from a meal that I made two weeks ago. I always forget to use almond butter in savory meals because for some weird reason I associate it with sweet dishes. Probably because I prefer sweet dishes. Especially in my morning oats, which is when I most frequently reach for nut butters in general. Not this time! My parents were out for the evening (because they have a better social life than I… Read more >

If there were any title more appropriate, I’d go with it, but this is really just a bunch of pics that have accumulated…and if they help give you ideas on healthy FODMAPS options, great. If not, sorry for this post’s random nature. Two recent recipes inspired this meal: Jenna’s veggie fried rice and Evan’s fried quinoa. I make quinoa in bulk at the beginning of every week. Without fail. Some weeks I make two batches because I go through it so quickly. I use my rice cooker, so it’s a completely mindless activity…as second… Read more >

I’m really obsessed with millet bread right now, which is a shame since it costs $6 a loaf. The best way to enjoy it is with avocado smashed on top. You really don’t need anything else, but if you’re feeling extra sassy, you can jazz it up with a squeeze of lime juice, dash of salt and paprika. As far as I’m concerned mille-cado is the next PB&J. It’s a heavenly snack. For the people following the low FODMAPS plan, avocado does have trace amounts (it’s in the polyols category with stone fruits), but sources differ… Read more >

Do not be deceived by the beauty of this plate. The tortillas may as well have been scrambled up with the tofu for all the good they did as a vehicle for the stuffing. Needless to say, this was a fork and knife meal. This was one of my first forays in the world of no wheat. I’m not too impressed. Quality ingredients and nutritional stats aside, they were similar to (a thinner) cardboard in texture. The slightest bend and they cracked like a stale wafer. Interestingly enough, they were packaged between individual… Read more >
