The grand finale of my low-FODMAP appetizer series for this holiday season is a charcuterie board! Charcuterie boards are absolutely beautiful and incredibly easy to assemble. All you need is a serving board or platter and your favorite low-FODMAP meats, cheeses, crackers, veggies, and fruits. This is one of my favorite appetizer options on the …
Hot Ruby Punch (Low-FODMAP)
You can't have a big holiday party without some kind of punch or cider, right? But, boy...can they be scary for those of us on the low-FODMAP diet. So many unseen, unknown ingredients! Never fear, my friends. As a part of my low-FODMAP appetizer series this holiday season, I'm also giving you a low-FODMAP punch …
Cinnamon Spiced Nuts (Low-FODMAP)
It's time for another recipe in my holiday appetizer series (click here for my crab dip recipe and here for my Caprese salad skewer recipe if you missed them!). We've had some salty featured recipes thus far, so now I'm giving you something sweet: cinnamon spiced nuts! I've always loved spiced nuts and missed them …

Low-FODMAP Crab Dip
The holiday season is upon us! That means you'll likely need a good appetizer recipe soon. My goal in the coming weeks is to provide a series of solid, tasty low-FODMAP treats that are just right for party season. Appetizers and party snacks have been one of the hardest tasks for me to conquer on …
Low-FODMAP Taco Salad
For obvious reasons (see my diagnosis story), it's been hard for me to transition back into eating Mexican/Tex-Mex food. I used to absolutely love it...but now...not so much. That being said, this taco salad recipe is just different enough in flavor that I can eat it without significant PTSD-related issues, and everyone else absolutely loves …
Loaf Pan Lasagna for Two (Low-FODMAP)
Lasagna used to be one of my favorite splurges, pre-PI-IBS. There is a local restaurant named Pasta Grill that my husband and I would visit for special occasions, and they had the best lasagna. Unfortunately, that lasagna has just about everything I can't eat now: garlic, onion, gluten, beef, and too much dairy. Add in …
My Full Circle: The Thoughts I Want to Share at the End of “Coping”
I'm in this weird place where I feel like the "Coping with a Diagnosis" portion of my blog is coming to a close, but I don't fully know what to say just yet. I've been grappling with it for several weeks now, and yet the words have been so elusive to me. I know why …

Italian-Dressing Chicken with Parmesan Roasted Green Beans and Tomatoes (Low-FODMAP)

And y'all...I never knew green beans could taste so good. These are AMAZING, and I normally like green beans …
Finding Your Purpose, Living Your Ministry
Yesterday, I listened to a couple sermons on using what's in your life to minister. The speaker spent the last 22 years of his life working in Africa as a missionary, but not in the typical sense. This gentleman discussed the people on his team throughout the years and the purposes they served. For example: …
