As Erin and I were preparing one of our frequently-used weeknight recipes last week, he asked if I had ever put it on my blog. My first thought was "of course"...but then I gave it some thought, and I was shocked to discover I've never shared one of my all-time easiest low-FODMAP dinner recipes! So …
Letting Go of Little Hopes
For the past month, I've been struggling with a topic. No kidding - I have seven different drafts in my blog's trash folder right now. The words were too harsh, too negative, too mopey...I don't know what, exactly, but I do know they just weren't right. So here's my best shot at what's on my …
Low-FODMAP Pan-Seared Shrimp Po’ Boy
I'll be honest with you: this recipe came about from a simple coincidence. On a Kroger Clicklist order a couple weeks ago, they had a crazy-good deal going on shrimp (buy a bag, get a bag free!). You've probably already noticed by the look of my blog recipes that I love seafood, so I decided …

Low-FODMAP Shrimp Cocktail
When it comes to a tasty appetizer, you just can't beat shrimp cocktail. I absolutely love the stuff!

Low-FODMAP “Oven-Fried” Catfish and French Fries
My first job ever was waiting tables at Hart's Seafood restaurant, a locally owned catfish and seafood joint that just about everyone in Arkansas loved (and if they didn't, you couldn't trust them, anyway). That meant my love affair with good catfish started at an early age. Because of that, I made it my mission …

Peace in the Jungle
Dreams are really interesting to me. Until last year, I rarely remembered my dreams the next morning. But then life happened. And then the nightmares happened. And then, with a lot of work and effort, growth happened. Whether you believe in "meaning" behind dreams or not is fine with me either way, but I tend …
Vacation Time: Living Low-FODMAP on an Alaskan Cruise
Now that we're back from our blissful ten-day trip to Seattle/cruise to Alaska, I've received a load of questions about how my medical dietary needs were met during the trip. As many of you already know, living low-FODMAP can be hard, even when you are able to control your own kitchen, so going on this …

In this form of treatment, the PTSD survivor returns to the original (or a very similar) trauma site to face his or her fears associated with the trauma location. To give you a little background in …
