Amazing Arugula Pesto (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Makes 1 cup

10 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Makes 1 cup • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

If you know me, you know I love arugula! And this pesto is a delicious way to get more arugula in your diet. Use it in any recipe that calls for pesto. Or enjoy it as an appetizer. It’s perfect on my Seed Crackers or as a topping on gluten-free pasta or lasagna.

Ingredients

1/4 cup roasted almonds

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

1 cup arugula (packed into the cup)

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/3–1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (with a light taste)

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and roughly chop the basil leaves.

(2) Blend the pesto: Put all ingredients in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until just blended. Add additional oil if you want to make it looser if you like. Use less oil if you like it a bit thicker.

(3) Plate and serve: Serve as a topping for my Seed Crackers or with your favorite veggies for dipping.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Coconut Cacao Granola (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Makes 6 cups

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Makes 6 cups • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

Your gut biome loves cacao (the “real deal” when it comes to chocolate) and coconut and so many nuts and seeds. So why not put them all together and make them delicious? This chocolatey granola might just make you a convert and you may never go back to “plain old” granola again! It’s very easy to make, oh so delicious, and it stores well for up to 6 weeks (if you don’t eat it all before then.)

Ingredients

3 cups gluten-free rolled oats

2 cups nuts and/or seeds, I used sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and flax seeds (pecans or walnuts would be good too)

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries (optional)

2 tablespoons chia seeds (white or black)

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/3 cup cacao nibs

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt 

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

(2) Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, cranberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, cacao powder, cacao nibs, cinnamon, and salt together. Stir to mix evenly.

(3) Mix liquid ingredients: In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Heat on the stove or in the microwave just to melt the coconut oil. Stir to blend, then pour over the dry ingredients and stir well to coat.

(4) Bake: Spread out in one even layer in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. (I like using the roasting pan because it’s easier to stir halfway through when you have a pan with higher sides.) Bake for 10 minutes, then use a spatula to stir and rotate the mixture (so nothing gets too brown). Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.  

(5) Plate and serve: This granola is delicious on its own but if you like, you may serve it with yogurt or milk and fresh berries.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Sheet Pan Asian Meatballs with Roasted Gnocchi (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactos-free • Serves 4

15 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Step 1

Roasted gnocchi turns out crispy and chewy all at the same time. Delicious! It’s a great foundation for these Asian meatballs as the gnocchi cooks in the seasoned drippings from the meat and the flavors blend and build on each other. The addition of chopped mushrooms in the roasting pan with the gnocchi adds a wonderful depth of flavor. Adding spinach in the last few minutes of roasting means you’ve got a perfect one-pan meal. Simple enough for a weeknight dinner but fancy enough to make for company.

Ingredients: Roasted Gnocchi

1 pound oyster mushrooms, chopped

1 package (12 - 18 ounces) potato gnocchi

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

5 ounces (about 5 packed cups) baby spinach, washed and long stems removed

Ingredients: Meatballs

2 tablespoons peeled and minced ginger

1 tablespoon gluten-free low sodium soy sauce sauce

1 bunch green onions, green part only, chopped

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Smoke N Sanity Essence of Garlic Salt (use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

1/2 cup pork panko (or other gluten-free panko)

1 pound grass-fed ground pork

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop the mushrooms, ginger, and green onion greens. Wash and remove the stems from the spinach.

(2) Prepare the gnocchi: In a bowl, toss the mushrooms, gnocchi, and 5 tablespoons of the olive oil. Spread evenly on the prepared backing sheet.

(3) Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients and use your hands to mix it together evenly.

(4) Shape the meatballs: Roll the meat mixture into 12 balls (about 2 inches in diameter) and arrange with some space between them on top of the gnocchi and mushrooms.

(5) Roast: Put the pan in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.

(6) Prepare the spinach: Meanwhile, toss the spinach with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the meatballs and gnocchi have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Spread the spinach evenly over the top of the meatballs and gnocchi. Return to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes until the spinach is tender and wilted.

(7) Plate and serve: Serve on plates or in bowls making sure every plate gets a little of everything.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Quinoa Crunch Salad with Peanut Sauce (Low FODMAP)

5 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Serves 4

15 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

This salad is as delicious as it is beautiful! It delivers a great combination of texture, color, and flavor. It’s hearty, healthy, delicious, and very easy to make. The mix of fresh vegetables and vibrant ingredients ensures every bite is a crunchy burst of goodness. If you're watching your carb intake, you can easily omit the quinoa and still enjoy a delicious, flavor-packed salad. Whether you’re preparing it for a family dinner, a potluck, or meal prepping for the week, this salad is sure to be a hit!

Ingredients: Salad

3 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup cooked per package instructions)

3 cups shredded red cabbage

2 cups edamame, cooked per package instructions

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup shredded carrots

3/4 cup raw, unsalted sprouted cashews, roughly chopped (AKA activated cashews)

1/2 cup green onion greens, chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)

Ingredients: Peanut Sauce

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce

Juice of 1 lime

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Cook the quinoa and the frozen edamame according to package instructions. Once the edamame is cooked, rinse in cold water to stop the cooking. It’s nice to have the quinoa be warm when you are serving—but it’s also good cold. You can prep both of these ingredients ahead of time if you like.

(2) Chop the veggies: Chop the cabbage, bell pepper, green onion greens, cilantro, and cashews. Grate the carrots.

(3) Make the dressing: Put all dressing ingredients in a jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk to blend.

(4) Plate and serve: While you can put all the ingredients in a salad bowl and toss it with the dressing, it makes a beautiful presentation to arrange the ingredients in a colorful wheel on each plate and drizzle the dressing over the top. Either way, it will be delicious.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Mediterranean Chicken Skewers (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 n skewers for your family and friends. They are sure to be a hit.

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

Delicious and tender, Greek seasoned chicken skewers you can grill in the oven. Top with my Tzatziki sauce and a side salad and you’ve got a delicious and healthy meal. Change up the vegetables you put on the skewers according to what you have on hand (zucchini and summer squash would work great). If you marinate the chicken ahead of time you’ll get the best flavor, but 10 minutes of marination is enough if you’re pressed for time. Make these quick and easy chicken skewers for your family and friends. They are sure to be a hit.

Ingredients

1/2 cup garlic-infused olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon crushed chipotle chilis or chipotle chile powder

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon low-FODMAP hot sauce

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 - 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

My Delicious Low FODMAP Tzatziki sauce for serving

Directions

(1) Prepare the chicken: This step is optional but results in a more flavorful and tender chicken. Remove chicken from the package, and put it in one layer on a rimmed plate or baking dish. Season both sides of each piece lightly with Kosher salt (about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon per side). Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, ideally about 4 hours before cooking or overnight.

(2) Prepare: Make the Tzatziki sauce a day ahead if you have time, if not just make it before you start prepping the meal. Make the marinade. Cut the chicken and toss in a bowl with the marinade, stirring to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes or several hours if you have time. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy clean-up)

(3) Prepare the skewers: Load the skewers, alternating chicken and vegetables so they come out approximately even. Arrange the skewers on the prepared baking sheet.

(4) Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, until lightly charred and cooked through (165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer)

(5) Plate and serve: Serve with plenty of my Tzatziki sauce and a side salad.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Umami Nut and Seed Crackers (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes Prep • 50 Minutes Cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Dairy Free • Vegan • Serving size 3 - 4 crackers

10 Minutes Prep • 50 Minutes Cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Dairy Free • Vegan • Serving size 3 - 4 crackers • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

If you know me, you know I always have seed crackers on hand. And if I’m running low, you’ll find me in the kitchen whipping up another batch! They are the perfect substitute for flour-based crackers and they add a ton of healthy ingredients and plants to your diet. In fact, this recipe includes 15 different plant-based ingredients! I have published a couple of versions of this recipe before, but because I make them so often, the recipe evolves and improves each time. So, I have to share this latest version with you!

Ingredients

3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds

3/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1 cup ground macadamia nuts

1/4 cup chia seeds (I use white but you can use any color. These are important - they hold everything together.)

1/2 cup whole flax seeds (any color is fine)

1 cup sliced almonds (or finely chopped)

1/4 cup flax seed meal

1/4 cup hulled hemp seeds (also called hemp hearts)

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup psyllium husk powder (adds fiber and helps the crackers hold together better)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast (adds protein, fiber, B vitamins, and that good umami flavor)

1 1/2 cups hot water

2 tablespoons olive oil (I use Tuscan Herb olive oil for even more flavor)

1 heaping tablespoon dried thyme

1 heaping tablespoon dried rosemary

1 heaping teaspoon cumin powder

1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons Kosher salt

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lay parchment on two large, rimmed baking sheets. Grind the macadamia nuts in your food processor until they are a fine meal, but not quite turning to nut butter. Chop the almonds if you aren’t using pre-sliced almonds.

(2) Mix ingredients: Combine all dry ingredients (including ground macadamia nuts) in a mixing bowl and stir well. Add the water and the olive oil and stir again. Let sit (and stir a couple of times) for a minute or two until most of the liquid is absorbed.

(3) Prepare to bake: Lay a sheet of parchment paper out on a cutting board. Put half the mixture on the parchment sheet then lay another sheet of parchment on top of the mixture. Use your hands to smooth it out as EVENLY and thinly as you can. You want the entire amount to be as close to the same thickness as possible so you don’t overcook/undercook parts of your tray. Transfer the whole thing to your baking sheet and remove the top sheet of parchment.

(4) Score the crackers: Before baking, use a dull knife to score the entire sheet into a grid of about 3-inch square pieces by cutting 3 lines down the length of the pan and 4 or 5 lines across the narrow part of the pan. This helps the crackers cook more evenly and makes it easier to break them into pieces once cooked and cooled.

(5) Bake: Bake for 35 – 50 minutes (depending on how thick they are) until crispy but not burned. Swap your pans from top to bottom in your oven halfway through baking. To check for doneness, lift the parchment up and see if the cracker cracks or bends. If it bends instead of cracking, then cook it a few minutes longer. When done, remove from the oven and let cool. When cool, break into crackers.

(6) Troubleshooting: If your crackers are not all the same thickness some sections may be a bit chewy while others are crisp. Remove from the oven, let cool, and break all the crisp parts off leaving the thicker parts on the pan. Then, simply put them back in the oven and cook for another 5 minutes or so.

(7) Plate and serve: Eat your seed crackers plain as a crisp and flavorful snack or serve them with your favorite cheese, hummus, tapenade, nut butter, or whatever you like.

(8) Storage: Crackers will stay crisp and fresh if stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks (but they are unlikely to last that long because they’re so good!)

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.

Ginger Sesame Beef (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 4

20 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

This recipe works magic on simple flank steak, rendering it as tender as filet mignon. With a miso-based ginger sesame marinade and a savory sauce that bursts with flavor, every bite is simply delicious. Serve it up with steamed rice, some roasted vegetables, and a simple cucumber salad and you’ll have a meal fit for company that’s easy enough to make for the family on a weeknight.

Ingredients: Marinade

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons red or white miso paste

1/4 cup gluten-free, low-sodium soy sauce

1 heaping tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated

2 teaspoons maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon Smoke N Sanity Essence of Garlic Salt (use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

2 tablespoons chopped green onion greens

Ingredients: Steak

1 pound flank steak, sliced into 1/4 inch slices

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

Ingredients: Veggies

1 cup leek greens, chopped

2 - 3 cups broccoli florets

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped

2 medium zucchini, chopped

1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or garlic-infused olive oil

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Ingredients: Spicy Mayo

1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use avocado Mayonnaise)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon lime juice

1-2 tablespoons gluten-free, low-sodium soy sauce

Directions

(1) Prepare the beef: This step is optional but results in a more flavorful and tender steak. Remove the steak from the package, and put it on a rimmed plate or baking dish. Season both sides lightly with Kosher salt (about 1/2 teaspoon per side). Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, ideally about 4 hours before cooking or overnight.

(2) Marinate the beef: Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk to combine. Slice the beef and add it to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Set aside for at least 15 minutes. If it’s going to be longer than that, put it in the refrigerator.

(3) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or oil on the surface of the pan. Chop the veggies. Slice the beef in about 1/4-inch thick slices. Steam the rice, if using. Make the spicy mayonnaise.

(4) Roast the vegetables: Toss the chopped vegetables with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared sheet pan, or in a bowl. Spread the vegetables in one layer on the prepared pan. Put the pan in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Toss halfway through to prevent burning.

(5) Cook the beef: In a large frying pan, set over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil. When hot, add about half the sliced and marinated beef to the pan in one layer. As it cooks, use two forks to lay each slice of beef flat in the pan. After about 1 minute of cooking begin flipping the beef slices over. Let brown briefly on the other side, then remove from the pan. Repeat with the remainder of the beef until it is all nicely browned. This should be a quick process to keep the meat tender.

(6) Plate and serve: Serve the roasted veggies and steak with a generous drizzle of spicy mayo overall. If you like, you may serve the steak over rice and the veggies alongside.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.

Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by drizzling it with a couple of teaspoons of olive or avocado oil and spreading it evenly over the bottom of the pan.

(3) Make the marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, miso paste, soy sauce, ginger, garlic scape powder or Essence of Garlic Salt, maple syrup, chili flakes, and green onion greens. Add the chicken and flip several times to coat and immerse. Let sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes (it’s ok to skip this step if you are pressed for time).

(4) Prepare the veggies: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet sliced potatoes, quartered squash, and chopped mushrooms. Toss with 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.

(5) Bake: Lay the chicken over the veggies and drizzle the chicken with a bit of the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked through (165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part) or when the juices run clear when you cut through the cooked chicken breast.

(6) Plate and serve: Serve the chicken, sweet potatoes, and veggies as is, or over bowls of my Best Coconut Rice.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

This is the perfect energizing lunch. Protein, fiber, plants, and delicious flavor. It’s light and hearty at the same time. The almonds and celery give it a wonderful crunch while the capers provide a depth of flavor that isn’t always common in a tuna salad. And, capers are an especially good source of antioxidants like quercetin and rutin both of which have been well-studied for their ability to alleviate inflammation, enhance wound healing, and promote healthy blood sugar levels.

Ingredients

1 can skipjack tuna or yellowfin tuna in water or olive oil (these iare lowest in mercury but you can use any variety you like)

1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped

1/2 stalk celery, chopped

2 - 3 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise (or regular mayo is OK too)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon (or more) capers, rinsed thoroughly and roughly chopped

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

6 whole leaves butter lettuce, washed and spun dry

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and spin dry the lettuce. Chop the almonds and celery. Rinse and chop the capers. Drain the water or oil out of the tuna.

(2) Make the salad: Combine all ingredients in a bowl using a fork to break up the tuna and blend the ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.

(3) Plate and serve: Spoon the tuna salad into the lettuce leaves and serve.

Herby Sourdough Baked Chicken (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Serves 4

15 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Step 1

This breadcrumb mixture featuring sourdough bread, capers, parsley, and lemon, is equally good on chicken or fish. It’s simple to make the crumb mixture in your food processor, and so easy to use. You can drizzle this chicken with my Easy Hollandaise Sauce, or just serve it as is alongside my Garlic Parmesan Roasted New Potatoes and one of my delicious salads.

Ingredients

4 small or 2 large chicken breasts

3 slices of real sourdough bread

1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onion greens

1 tablespoon lemon zest (finely grated lemon peel)

1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon more for drizzling

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare the chicken: If the chicken breasts are quite thick, cut them horizontally to make two thin pieces out of the one thick breast. If you have the time, put the chicken in one layer on a rimmed plate or baking dish. Season both sides of each piece lightly with Kosher salt (about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon per side). Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, ideally about 4 hours before cooking or overnight.

(2) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

(3) Make the breadcrumb mixture: Roughly chop the bread slices and parsley, then put the bread, parsley, chives or green onions, lemon zest, capers, salt, and pepper in the bowl of your food processor. Process until the crumb is even and the ingredients are nicely blended together. Add the olive oil and pulse a few times to blend.

(4) Bake the chicken: Press 1/4 of the crumb mixture onto the top and sides of each piece of chicken to coat. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the extra olive oil. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts) until the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes.

(5) Plate and serve: Serve with a drizzle of my Easy Hollandaise Sauce, or just as is alongside my Garlic Parmesan New Potatoes and one of my delicious salads.

Sauteed Red Chard and Pomegranate Salad (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Serves 4

10 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

When mother nature makes something so beautiful, you just have to find a way to experience it! This delicious dish combines the earthy richness of sautéed red chard with a burst of sweet pomegranate seeds delivering a full array of colors, textures, and flavors. And, while you can eat it warm right out of the pan, it will be at its most delicious once cooled. That means it’s a great make-ahead or bring-along dish. So, whether you're looking for a beautiful and hearty side dish or a nutritious vegetarian main, this salad is sure to please.

Ingredients

1 bunch Red Swiss chard (about 6 leaves)

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, more to taste

2 - 3 teaspoons lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 - 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash the chard and spin or pat it dry. Cut the stems apart from the chard leaves and chop the stems into 1/2-inch slices. Coarsely chop the leaves.

(2) Cook the chard: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the garlic-infused olive oil and heat until the oil is hot and shimmers. Add the chard stems and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add the chard leaves and cook another 2 - 3 minutes until the leaves have softened. Add the salt, and several grinds of pepper, and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted.

(3) Finish: Turn off the heat, squeeze the lemon juice over the chard, and toss. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Let cool to room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

(4) Plate and serve: I like this dish best the next day — after it has chilled and mellowed. But you may serve it warm right out of the pan if you prefer.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

10 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 4-6

10 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 4-6 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

Get ready to whip up something tasty in no time with my Quick Low FODMAP Miso Ginger Broccoli and Beef. It’s tender beef, vibrant broccoli, and a zingy miso-ginger sauce that proves you don't need hours to whip up something seriously delicious. This recipe is the perfect blend of cozy comfort and a kick of excitement. So, when time is short and the craving for an excellent meal is high, my Quick Miso Ginger Broccoli and Beef is a great go-to dinner choice.

Ingredients: Sauce

1/2 cup gluten-free low-sodium soy sauce

1 cup beef bone broth or vegetable broth

2 tablespoons brown rice miso paste

2 teaspoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons ginger juice (or use juice from the pickled ginger jar)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon gluten-free flour

Ingredients: Beef

1 1/2 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced

1/2 - 1 teaspoon black pepper

3 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons garlic-infused extra virgin olive oil

1 cup chopped leek greens

1 tablespoon fresh chopped ginger

Toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, chopped green onion greens, and/or pickled ginger, for serving

Steamed white or brown rice, for serving

Directions

(1) Prepare: Slice the beef thinly and season with black pepper. Do not salt! This recipe has plenty of salt in it with the Miso. Chop broccoli, leek greens, and fresh ginger. Make the steamed rice.

(2) Make the sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or jar and whisk or shake to combine. Taste and if it tastes a bit too salty for your liking, add another 1/4 cup broth or water and which or shake to combine.

(3) Sear the meat: In a large frying pan, heat the garlic olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in one layer and cook, undisturbed, until seared about 2 minutes. Toss the meat, turning most of the pieces over, and add the broccoli, leek greens, and fresh ginger. Toss again and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meat is just browned.

(4) Add the sauce: Pour the sauce over the meat. Stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer the meat in the sauce for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.

(5) Finish: Remove from the heat. Serve the beef and broccoli over rice, topped with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, or even pickled ginger.

Perfect Angel Food Cake (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 40 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 8

20 Minutes prep • 40 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 8

Thought you would never be able to enjoy Angel Food Cake while following a gluten-free diet? Think again and embrace the joy of having your cake and eating it too! Indulge in my Perfect Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake that captures the light and airy essence of the classic, but completely gluten-free. This cake is not only delicious, it's a testament to gluten-free desserts that can be just as light and delicious as the original. The secret lies in the seamless blend of gluten-free flour alternatives, ensuring a light and tender crumb that satisfies even the most discerning Angel Food Cake enthusiast.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups egg whites from 10-11 large eggs

1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

1/2 cup GF Jules gluten-free baking flour

3/4 cup powdered sugar

3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons superfine baking sugar (or granulated sugar that has been pulsed in the food processor a few times)

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

(1) Prepare: Separate the egg whites and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, cornstarch, and powdered sugar together until well blended, about 30 seconds. Set aside in a bowl. Put the granulated sugar in the bowl of your food processor and pulse the sugar about 5-7 times. You don't want to turn it into powdered sugar, just a little finer than it normally is. Set aside.

(2) Beat the egg whites: Place the egg whites in the clean bowl of a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment, beat on high until the egg whites start to foam, then add the salt and cream of tartar and whip a few more seconds to combine. Add the vanilla and almond extract and continue whipping on high speed for another 30 seconds.

(3) Add the sugar: Add the granulated sugar slowly, about 1 tablespoon at a time to the egg whites while they are whipping. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. (Remove the whisk attachment and lift it out of the mixture—if the peaks left behind stay standing, you have reached “stiff peak” stage.)

(4) Add the dry ingredients: Slowly fold in the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time with a spatula. Do this carefully and slowly so you don't deflate the egg whites. (This is the key to light and airy angel food cake.) Scoop into an ungreased 10-inch tube or round cake pan.

(5) Bake: Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes until lightly golden. Immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack when you remove it from the oven. Cool completely then run a knife along the edges of the pan and carefully plate the cake.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.

Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 9 Hours cook/chill • Low FODMAP • Serves 8

20 Minutes prep • 9 Hours cook/chill • Low FODMAP • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

This Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake has the perfect harmony of rich creaminess and just the right amount of sweetness. The velvety texture of cream cheese blends seamlessly with the tangy flavor of sour cream, creating a truly delicious filling that sits atop a buttery graham cracker crust. Whether you're entertaining guests or simply treating yourself, this Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake is a perfect choice because it’s easy to make, you can make it ahead of time, and it’s low FODMAP so everyone at the table can enjoy it.

Ingredients: Crust

1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham crackers (about 1 sleeve), ground into crumbs

6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Ingredients: Cheesecake

16 ounces lactose-free cream cheese, at room temperature

16 ounces lactose-free sour cream, at room temperature

1 cup superfine white sugar (you can also use granulated sugar and be sure to blend very well)

3 eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste or any other flavoring of your choice

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs to room temperature. Melt the butter.

(2) Make the graham cracker crumbs: In the bowl of your food processor, add the graham crackers. Pulse on and off until all crackers have turned to crumbs. You can also do this by putting the graham crackers in a ziploc bag and using a rolling pin or heave glass to crunch them up.

(3) Make the crust: Drizzle the melted butter over the cracker crumbs in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until all crumbs and butter are combined. You can also combine butter and crumbs in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Pour the crumbs into the bottom of a 7 - 9-inch springform pan and pat them with your fingers to make an even layer or make it slightly thicker at the edges if you prefer.

(4) Bake the crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the crust has dried out and begins to brown just a bit. Remove from the oven and set aside.

(5) Make the filling: In the bowl of your food processor or stand mixer, combine cream cheese and sour cream and blend until completely smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla and blend well but don’t whip air into the mixture. Scrape down the sides to ensure all sugar and eggs are blended into the cheese mixture. Pour the batter into the pan gently so as not to disturb the crumb crust.

(6) Bake: Put in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven. Don’t open the oven door. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for one hour. Remove and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (more is fine).

(7) Plate and serve: Run a knife around the edge of the pan and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cake and serve with fresh berries or your favorite topping.

Tender Slow-Cooked Pork Roast (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 5 - 10 hours cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 8

20 Minutes prep • 5 - 10 hours cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Step 1

Discover this simple method of cooking pork butt (a cut that actually comes from the shoulder of the pig) to get meat so tender it falls off the bone. With only a handful of ingredients, you'll not only achieve a delicious result but also infuse your kitchen with a wonderful aroma as it cooks. And, there are endless possibilities for this meat: pulled pork sandwiches, flavorful enchiladas, loaded nachos, savory tacos, or perhaps a hearty burrito bowl. Let your imagination run wild, and turn tonight's dinner into a home-cooked feast.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

3 - 4 pound pork butt (or shoulder) roast

1/3 cup gluten-free soy sauce

1 large leek, green part only, washed and chopped

3 inches of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thickly

3 - 4 tablespoons Smoke n Sanity Triple S Seasoning (use code IBSGC15 for a 15% discount)

Or, use your favorite low FODMAP dry rub

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup heavy cream (or more water if you want to keep it dairy-free)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Sprinkle all sides of the roast with your dry rub. Wash and chop the leek greens and peel and slice the ginger.

(2) Brown the pork roast: Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the prepared pork roast and brown on all sides (about 2 minutes per side). This step helps to seal in the juices which improves the flavor.

(3) Prepare to slow cook: Put 1/2 the leek greens in the bottom of the crock pot. Put the browned pork roast on top of the leek greens then cover with the rest of the chopped leek greens. Pour the soy sauce over the pork and pour the water around the pork.

(4) Cook: Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5 - 6 hours. Meat should be falling apart at the end of the cooking time. You can use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature — which should be at least 160 degrees F and ideally about 190 degrees F.

(5) Finish: Remove the pork from the crock pot and shred the meat with two forks. Add the cream (or water) to the pan juices and stir to blend. If still a bit salty, add more cream or hot water and stir and taste before drizzling over the meat.

(5) Plate and serve: Serve warm over steamed rice, or over roasted vegetables for a low-carb version, with the creamy sauce spooned over the meat and rice. Do you prefer a more traditional “pulled pork” flavor? Add low FODMAP BBQ sauce such as Smoke N Sanity Sweet and Sassy BBQ Sauce (use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount) instead of cream or water to make the sauce. You can also use this slow-cooked pork in place of chicken in my Cheesy Chicken Enchilada recipe, combine it with chips and cheese for delicious nachos, or use it in tacos, burrito bowls, and more.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
