Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”. That’s one of my favorite phrases. We could all do well to remember it, which is why I’m posting it here. I get questions and comments all the time about foods that I show on the blog or use in recipes that are/are not FODMAPs friendly. I’m not perfect. I try to eat a low FODMAPs diet most of the time and I do pretty well with it, but I definitely eat things that I know are FODMAPs. Sometimes they are things I know I hardly react… Read more >

I feel like I’m clinging onto summer with this breakfast. Home-made banana pancakes with strawberries and peaches. This was my first sweet breakfast in a long time. I finally finished off that massive batch of vegan gluten free pancakes that I made a while back, so I had to do actual work in the morning for these. The effort was worth it, but I wish I’d had the energy to make a huge batch so there were leftovers. Part one of lunch was half a sweet potato with tofu scramble. I’ve been on… Read more >

Recently I’ve been making the fruits of my labor into delicious meals. I don’t know where this love for pesto suddenly came from, but it’s really nice to be able to pick your own food and prepare it in the same day. Thriving basil and parsley plants for the win! De Boles GF penne for me, 365 whole wheat spaghetti for him. Nuts, hemp seeds, basil, parsley, olive oil, plain almond milk, pasta water. Blended and blended until I got the texture (and flavor) I wanted. I’m really trying to minimize wheat… Read more >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

I had such a chaotic day at work, and the weird part was it was totally stress free and enjoyable. For breakfast I had three leftover pancakes from earlier in the week (I always make extra for work and then end up eating half the extras, which leaves me with a measly portion to take to work). Luckily I had banana bread muffins too. My lunch was leftover Caprese Caesar pasta salad. AKA my favorite dish on the face of the Earth. We had this for dinner the previous night. I can’t… Read more >
