I love cookies. That’s probably fairly obvious, since I already have three cookie recipes on this blog. I often wish I could eat piles of cookies every day without consequences. Unfortunately, I know that eating that much fat and sugar on a daily basis makes my stomach hate me. I stick to eating the occasional…

Recap of the Gut Health and Microbiome Conference
Hello food friends! It has been pretty quiet on the blog here for the last week or so, but for a good reason! Last weekend I attended the Advances in Nutrition, Gut Health and Microbiome Conference in Toronto hosted by the Canadian Nutrition Society. Not only did I get to listen to some fantastic speakers,…
Carrot Ginger Soup
I absolutely love ginger. I use it in tea, stir fries, smoothies, and soup too. Carrot ginger is a classic soup flavour, and now I have created a delicious low FODMAP, gluten-free and vegan version. It is great for staying warm in the winter, or you can eat it chilled in the summer. Keep on…

Dark Hot Chocolate
One of my favourite foods is dark chocolate. I am so happy it is low FODMAP (at 30 g servings or less). I eat it by itself, dipped in peanut butter, crumbled into oatmeal, and baked into cookies. And now, I’ve put it in hot chocolate too! This Low FODMAP Dark Hot Chocolate recipe is…

Around Christmas time, they would release their holiday menu, including a peppermint white hot chocolate….

Homemade Whipped Cream
Did you know that whipped cream is low FODMAP? Monash has found that it is low at ½ cup (which is a LOT of whipped cream)! You may be wondering, “How can whipped cream be low if milk is high??” Whipped cream is almost completely just fat, and therefore low in lactose. It’s also super…
Simple Low Calorie & Low FODMAP Hot Chocolate
I love hot chocolate. I think it is one of the best parts about winter. Sadly, regular hot chocolate you buy at the store or at Starbucks is likely to be high in FODMAPs (lactose in particular). Luckily for us, it is pretty easy to make your own at home! This week I am posting…
