Low-FODMAP Spinach-Feta Millet Pilaf / Delicious as it Looks

 

I eat carbs. Carbs, carbs, carbs! It’s almost a sin to say that these days. I tried a low-carb/paleo diet once. It sucked big-time. I had no energy and it was horrible for my digestion. So I eat carbs, mostly in the form of whole grains, and don’t worry about it anymore. Whole grains make my digestion work better and give me energy to do everything I want to do in a day.

Millet is one of the whole grains that I enjoy eating. It’s also low-FODMAP and delicious. This recipe is the perfect side dish for any number of main courses. It goes well with fish or chicken. I particularly like to serve it with a chicken recipe I will be sharing with you in my next blog post. Stay tuned and enjoy this delicious carbohydrate-filled dish!
