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 […]

  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 […]

  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 […]

 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. […]

  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 […]

  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, […]
