Low FODMAP and Low Carb Caesar Dressing

I have a slight (not slight) obsession with eating caesar salads. The cravings first started several years ago when I was pregnant with the kid. I never wanted caesar salad before becoming pregnant, but during pregnancy something clicked and I wanted it. Badly. This obsession hasn't ended. The problem I ran into with the low …

Maple Cinnamon Granola

Homemade granola has become one of my staple food items to keep in the pantry. It's easy to make, easy to grab-and-go, and easy to store. Maple syrup is also my staple low FODMAP sweetener. Both Monash and FODMAP Friendly state that it's low FODMAP at 2 Tbsp (50g and 53g, respectively) per serving.

Easy Hot Wings and Ranch: Low FODMAP, Gluten Free, and Low Carb

So fun fact, I don't eat low FODMAP strictly anymore. After eating low FODMAP (very) strictly for about 2 years, I eat a modified version of it now. However, I have well over a hundred low FODMAP recipes I came up with and figured it could help someone else to add a little flavor to …

Butter Pecan Granola

I love pecans. I have for as long as I can remember. I was that weird girl who ate sunflower seeds (note Psych reference)and pecans as snacks all the time. My favorite ice cream flavor, besides mint chocolate chip, was even butter pecan ice cream. In the fall, I would eat pecans that would fall …

GF & Low FODMAP Vanilla Cupcakes

Little known fact, I actually do not like cake and cupcakes. *GASP* I know, I'm an odd person. I prefer pie. On my birthdays as a kid, my requested dessert of choice was either pie or no-bake cheesecake. Cherry being the favorite. As an adult, I still love pie with cherry and apple being the …
