Per my previous post, I am off potatoes for a while. However, since sweet potatoes are in a different family than regular potatoes, I decided to try them. Sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family, whereas white potatoes are in the potato (or nightshade) family. So far, so good. […]

Isn’t it ironic that just a couple of weeks after writing a blog professing my love of potatoes (Potato Love, 2/11/14), I figure out that I’m intolerant of potatoes? Either ironic, or actually, understandable. You see, I’ve been reading this book called Food Allergies and Food Intolerance and I’ve learned that […]

Valentine’s Day is coming up, so let’s talk about love. Love of potatoes, that is. That’s right, February is Potato Lover’s Month! I don’t need a special month to show my love of potatoes. I love potatoes every month. They continue to be one of the foods that always agrees […]

I saw an allergist earlier this week and had the skin-prick test done. It turns out I’m allergic to….nothing. This is good news, of course. To know that eating eggs isn’t going to send me into anaphylaxis. But it would have been nice to have a concrete answer for once. […]

I just realized that the Superbowl is coming up and I actually have a recipe to share for the for the big game. I’m not a big football fan. I don’t even watch the commercials. How un-American of me. I’m sure my husband will watch the game, but I’ll find […]

I’ve been using this egg replacer in my baking lately and it’s been working well. I thought I’d write a quick post so I can refer back to it in my future recipes. It’s very easy. I grind up some chia seeds in my coffee grinder and mix it with […]

It’s funny how when you figure out a food sensitivity and eliminate that food, other sensitivities have a tendency to reveal themselves. This is what happened to me over the holiday break. I had some time off and therefore did a lot of experimenting in the kitchen, mostly with gluten-free […]

Although I can only eat about 90% of the food featured, I still love reading Cooking Light magazine. It’s great inspiration and every one in a while, I come across a recipe that seems tailor-made for the low-FODMAP diet. This soup is one example. Just a few tweaks here and […]

I love recipes that are really simple, but taste and look gourmet. Easy enough for a week night, but elegant enough to serve to company. This recipe from Food.com for Balsamic Chicken is one of those recipes. This was easy enough to make low-FODMAP and it’s already gluten-free. Plus, it’s […]

I’ve always been afraid of making candy. Anything that required a thermometer scared me away. I used to be afraid of making yeast bread too, and look at me now! So I thought it was time to challenge myself by making English Toffee from Food.com. It turned out to be […]

I’ve been experimenting with mashed potatoes lately and came up with a couple recipes to share with you. It turns out to the be perfect time of year, with Thanksgiving coming up, to share mashed potato recipes. The first recipe I will share are red potatoes mashed with my Oven […]
