I created this blog as a hobby and to share my recipes created during my quest to make meals that do not cause digestive stress.

I learned about Fodmaps in the summer of 2020 and begrudgingly started the elimination diet after I sadly concluded Fodmaps were probably the cause of my problems. (Cauliflower, asparagus and onion – I miss you!)

I love to cook and still get excited when I find a recipe that looks scrumptious. Now – with Fodmaps on my radar – it’s like a game to determine how I can make a recipe low-Fodmap.

It occurred to me I could share the recipes I’ve created and point people in the direction of recipes that require few substitutions to become low-Fodmap. To Fodmap newcomers I feel like the more recipes available the better – because that initial shock of seeing all the foods you’re about to limit or eliminate is overwhelming and for me was downright depressing. But we all prefer to feel better so we take the plunge into the low-Fodmap world!

Other than Fodmaps I have high cholesterol and a boyfriend who will not eat cheese (or anything calling itself cheese) so as a result you will see a lot of lean meat and salmon recipes, and very few recipes with cheese.

Outside of the kitchen I am a Project Manager in fire sprinkler construction, love to travel and live with my boyfriend and our spoiled terrier-ragamuffin rescue.
