Glimpse into berry oat bars & a useful recipe book

A few weeks ago, I received a copy of an eye opening recipe book that was so exciting for me to discover! It is called “Flying Apron’s Gluten-Free & Vegan Baking Book”, and is written by Jennifer Katzinger, who owns a bakery in Seattle. Oh how I would love to live near her bakery!! If anyone […] Read more…

Glimpse into choc nut cookies & choc nut smoothies

Cookies make me think of my little (well, not so little, but younger) brother, who lives in France, who has the nick name, among several others,  the Cookie Monster. He is the family’s sweet tooth, but I am finding that I am also developing quite the sweet tooth these days, which is ironic now that I eat a low […] Read more…

Glimpse into gluten free & vegan fruity waffles

On the weekend, I treated myself to a waffle machine (and a dehydrator…posts on that to come!). I could probably count on one hand the times that I ate waffles before I had to restrict my diet, however, the idea of creating something yummy, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, and a winter meal […] Read more…

Glimpse into low FODMAP power balls

I am sure that on your quest for healthy recipes, you’ve probably come across nutritious balls made of an assortment of good ingredients. Most of these contain sticky, dried fruits however, and when you have fructose malabsorption, dried dates, apricots and the like are a big no no. So I decided that I wanted to […] Read more…

They are super quick and easy, and of course, a healthy choice for a treat!  I eat whole quinoa and quinoa flakes every day in my diet.

Glimpse into a spicy banana nut slab

I got up this afternoon after a morning of resting with a craving for cookies. I managed to pull together some ingredients and came up with a spicy banana nut biscuit. It was a fairly random effort, and though they taste pretty good (though super sweet!), they are not your normal cookie! They merged into […] Read more…

I have been craving ginger cake for the past few days, and so when energy struck this afternoon, I gathered up any possible ingredients that I had around that could satisfy my desire! I have come up with a cake that is gluten free, egg free and low in fructose, and hopefully, tastes good (the […] Read more…

Glimpse into zuchinni brownies

Using vegetables in sweet baking is an intriguing prospect! The idea of consuming one of your daily veggie serves while eating chocolatey goodness is exciting! So, I have come up with a simple, low fructose, gluten free, dairy free, egg free recipe for brownies using zucchinis! The zucchini is low in calories, and high in […] Read more…

Glimpse into Sardines

I might not be up to sharing extravagant low FODMAP and allergy friendly recipes with you just yet (as I mentioned here), but I can show you glimpses into the easy snacks and treats I have during the day! Today’s lunch? Sardines on toast! Super easy and quick, perfect on a wintery day, and I could even manage […] Read more…
