‘Wonder’ Chicken.  A Chinese specialty from my favorite restaurant growing up.  Recreated for you and me, in a tummy-friendly, gluten-free, and low-FODMAP version! I always loved these tender and flavorful pieces of chicken, stir-fried with a savory sauce, then topped generously with a sweet peanut-sesame mixture.  It is so delicious and addictive.  This recipe is similar to a typical stir-fry, but it also involves marinating the chicken for 30 minutes in a soy sauce, egg white, and cornstarch mixture. There are other variations on this technique, but it is known as ‘velve ..read more

Blender oats make flourless oat-baked treats easy! I love using my blender for oat bakes, a technique that has been incorporated into personal sized recipes, tray bakes and muffins. This is a low-FODMAP, gluten-free, and VERY easy version that makes banana mini-muffins with chocolate chips.  So far, this is my most favorite rendition. My boys both adore banana chocolate chip baked goods. In fact, almost every other weekend I make my low-FODMAP Banana Mug Muffin for breakfast. Now, I think I will make these instead! They take as little time, and they are even more fun to eat. You ar ..read more

I just took a trip to South Florida with my college student daughter.   She lives in a smaller town for school, and is a vegetarian that is addicted to pasta dishes. Her latest passion is ‘pasta alla vodka’.  We ate Italian for 3 nights so she could get this at every dinnertime, since she ‘can’t get it back home’.  Rich, creamy and so flavorful, I couldn’t help but sample.  However, all the onions in the dish certainly kept me from eating much. I (naturally), became inspired to make it at home for all of us!  So, here is a gorgeous low-FOD ..read more

Low-FODMAP BBQ Tofu Steaks.  A vegan, gut-friendly meal that will make everyone ask for seconds! I am always looking for ways to incorporate plant-based recipes on my blog.

When I heard about ‘walking tacos’ I thought it was a genius idea!  Savor the flavors of corn tortilla, ground beef, taco spices and cheese, while enjoying no mess and easy clean up!  It’s a no-brainer win for a family weeknight. Try these low-FODMAP Walking Tacos and you will be a fan too!  Feel free to use the corn chips that I tried (Fritos), or another brand of corn tortillas.  Select gluten-free, or flavored, if you prefer.  Provided the chips are made with corn flour and not wheat, they should be easy for your tummy to tolerate. I enjoy my walking tacos with dic ..read more

This is my EASY low-FODMAP Chicken Baked Ziti Casserole.  I can make this meal without a recipe, it is so simple.  You can prep in a Dutch Oven, or transfer to a casserole dish for baking. I call it ‘baked ziti’, but GF penne is usually easier to source.  Feel free to substitute, if you don’t have ziti. Try this with your favorite jar of low-FODMAP marinara sauce (I have a delish recipe, or you can check out my low-FODMAP grocery shopping list for some brands).  I like to add some veggies to the sauce too, to add to flavor and texture. You will note that there is no actual ..read more

A classic low-FODMAP recipe for bread pudding, with a bit of adult flavor in the sauce. Chunks of low-FODMAP and gluten-free ciabatta are soaked in a sweet egg and cream custard, then baked with cinnamon,  pecans and raisins. The rich pudding is then covered in a creamy bourbon sauce before serving. The perfect cold weather treat, my recipe warms you up from the inside out. Dress up this low-FODMAP Whiskey Bread Pudding for the holidays with additional low-FODMAP ice cream, and candied pecans.  Or toss some semisweet chocolate chips in the place of the raisins, if you like a less tra ..read more

A classic.  Low-FODMAP Carrot Spice Muffins.  Top them with low-FODMAP glaze, or just enjoy them plain.  So good, moist, and packed with flavor. Carrot Spice Muffins were a staple at our neighborhood coffee shop, and I would have one almost every Saturday as a teenager, when I worked my usual shift at the greeting card store near my home. Sweet, but not overly so, the carrots provide moisture, plus the vitamins and minerals of a naturally low-FODMAP vegetable. I love to add walnuts to mine, but coconut, and raisins are also fan favorites. You may be baking these up for your Eas ..read more
