Happy birthday to me! 27, you’re looking good. I believe everyone should be able to enjoy a treat on their birthday. But if you’re anything like me, that gets a little tricky if you also want to feel good! These days, my body doesn’t appreciate when I eat wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, simple carbs, sugar,…

Lucian Medicinal Tea (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)
Have you heard of a little island in the Caribbean named St. Lucia? No? Two years ago, that was my answer too! But last March, I had the opportunity to venture 4,000 miles from home with my mom to celebrate her 60th birthday. And I fell in love. With the culture, the people, the landscape,…
1-Pot Turkey Quinoa Skillet (Low FODMAP, GF, DF) + Sunbasket Review
Have you ever considered trying one of the meal prep delivery services that send you ingredients and recipes and you make the meals? Oftentimes with recipes ready in 30 minutes or less. I know I have! Specifically, I’ve considered Sunbasket many times over the last several years. Here’s why I recommend Sunbasket over its competitors:…
Warming Digestive Tea (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)
I LOVE tea. Or as I recently learned from tea aficionados, I love “herbal infusions.” If you are in the company of tea experts, the word “tea” is used exclusively for brews coming from the tea plant (think white tea, black tea, and green tea). But personally, if I infuse plants in water, I call…
Thai Quinoa Salad (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)
Since returning from FMT in the Bahamas about two months ago (read about that here and here), I’ve been loading my plate with high FODMAP veggies galore! Nevertheless, I am always still thinking about those of you who do not tolerate many FODMAPs, and how to create more tummy-friendly recipes for you. One week for…
The BEST Gingery Peanut Sauce (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)
Would “bland” be a good way to describe the current state of your SIBO diet? If you answered yes, then you must try this amazingly flavorful and simple low FODMAP peanut sauce recipe! Because…Food is supposed to taste good! And food is supposed to help you feel good too. I am a big fan of using healing…
Super Simple No-Bean Chili (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)
The moment I stepped out of the airport last weekend, my whole body said “brrr.” After spending a very special week in the Caribbean celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday, I was met with chili-craving Portland weather. I was also overdue for bringing you a new low FODMAP recipe. Thus, multi-purpose No-Bean Chili experimentation began! With…
Italian Herb Crispy Skin Chicken Thighs (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)
Cooking on weeknights doesn’t happen for me very often. There just isn’t time for that in my schedule. Instead, I like to spend my weeknights playing racquetball, catching a yoga class, or lifting weights (AKA…socializing) with a friend. But sometimes I am feeling inspired to eat a warm, freshly prepared low FODMAP meal and need…
4-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Low FODMAP, GF, Vegan)
Do you know what I love most about Valentine’s day? Grocery stores finally start carrying good-looking strawberries after the winter hiatus. Strawberry season here in Oregon does not begin until early summer. But you wouldn’t want to use Oregon berries in this recipe anyways. They tend to be very sweet, small, and flavorful, but have…
Crockpot Wild Rice, Chicken, & Kale Stew (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)
Creating low FODMAP crockpot recipes is a challenge. So it’s a good thing for you that I like challenges! The reason it’s quite challenging to make delicious low FODMAP crockpot recipes is that the key ingredients for savory soups/stews (onion and garlic) are off-limits. Additionally, many soup/stew recipes use broth. My preference is to use…
