I came across this recipe (Weight Watchers Sesame Chicken) on Pinterest a while ago and thought it would be a great one to adapt for fructose malabsorption because it is low in sugar. I love Chinese food and we still get take-out now and then even though it probably […]

  About four out of seven nights a week, I serve this salad as my veggie for dinner. It’s a tried a true recipe for me. I know it won’t disagree with me, plus it’s really easy to make. Mostly baby spinach, some hearts of romaine, carrots and shredded Parmesan. […]

 This is a delicious quinoa side dish accented with the flavors of garlic, pine nuts and lemon. Since I blogged about quinoa and greens earlier this week, I thought I’d share a recipe that includes both of these ingredients. This is an adaptation of one of the first quinoa recipes […]
