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 have been completely lagging in showing off my work eats. Packing up my food for the hospital is an art form, but it’s one I’ve perfected. Blogging about them, however, takes more time and I’m always exhausted when I get home from 12+ hours on my feet. And of course, there was the unexpected drive down to Newport Beach this weekend…so I’m definitely behind. Not to throw excuses at you, I’m just saying, I have weeks of hospital food stored up. How excited are you!? Ha! Here what’s to follow: on-the-go meals that are… Read more >

Admittedly basil isn’t my favorite herb. Over the years, you may have noticed how infrequently I make Italian recipes… This isn’t a fluke. Garlic, oregano, rosemary, onion, and other such flavors just don’t whet my palate. But I do have a thriving basil plant. And I do enjoy raw pates. So it would only seem natural to find a way to unite these two things. Right? My goals in making a raw pesto were the following: (a) to make it only minimally reminiscent of a true pesto (b) to make it protein packed (c)… Read more >

Mmmmm… cheesy pasta! [Reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey is shooting a “mmmmm…noodle soup” commercial] I digress. Considering how sucky the brown rice tortillas were, I had zero expectations for this gluten free pasta. I mean, they’re both made of rice. *I have since tried some of the tricks you guys left in the comments section of this post and there is a slight improvement in the texture, but I think I’ll just make chips out of the rest of the tortillas* Nice stats. Nice start. They cooked like normal noodles. And they… 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 >
