So, don’t let the name intimidate you - this is baking that requires you to put all the ingredients into a blender and pour it into a baking dish over the fruit. Seriously. This is as simple as baking can get other than those microwave mug cakes. It’s a bit like a big puffed up pancake - slightly soft in the middle and packed with delicious.

For the longest time, I thought that chocolate was my favourite treat. But it turns out that anything lemon flavoured it - and especially when I am choosing to believe that it is spring (underneath the snow) having something that makes me feel ‘springy’ is welcome.

Which is where blueberry lemon muffins come in.

While the Easter chocolate may have been eaten at a rate beyond normal, the desire for healthy(ish) snacks and baking still seems to be high. Here’s a way to use up the bunny’s carrots in a muffin that is as easy to make as it is to eat!

Of course I recommend getting outside & moving more, but the reality is there’s a lot of Netflix binging & movie watching going on. And if you’re going to watch movies, popcorn can be a great snack that doesn’t involve processed junk & bucketloads of sugar. Especially if you choose healthier topping options.

With a little bit of prep, you can plan your own family popcorn party with a host of seasoning options that will take minimal time.

While most of us can still easily access our normal fresh foods, we’ve also been encouraged to have enough food to last for 2 weeks in case of quarantine. This means having non-perishable items that you can store - which can be a little bit different than what is needed for people without IBS.

Here are some low FODMAP basics that can help you get your store of food ready!

I have to admit, while my love of chocolate is strong, I don’t love chocolate pudding - I’m more of a vanilla or lemon fan. But this recipe is a huge hit with my patients.

And it really is a nutritional powerhouse.

Breakfast is a hard one when our routines have gone out the window. But perhaps not having everyone commute means we have some extra time with our families in the mornings. And what if we could find some meals that we didn’t have to argue about with our kids?

I bought that giant box of microwavable edamame from Costco a long time ago. In case of emergencies. And that never happened. Until now. A lot of you have told me you also have these in your freezer...so let’s pull them out and get cooking. They are amazing in poke bowls, noodle and grain bowls - and super simple.

I know you bought a lot of canned beans...and now you’re looking at them resentfully wishing it was something better. Well, here’s a way to make them more fun! And if you’re feeling lazy - just swap in some taco seasoning you already have at home rather than using individual spices.

I’m going to be honest. I think bananas are the worst tasting (and smelling) fruit on the planet. Except maybe durian but I’ve never been close enough to durian to really know. So, in my world, bananas are horrid. But...I realize I’m in the minority over this issue.

Sometimes it seems we're all free.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free, legume-free. Onions and garlic cause bloating, tomatoes and citrus cause heartburn, cheese makes you constipated but milk causes diarrhea...often it seems our diets and how we feel is not about what is providing us nutrition bur rather what we need to avoid.

Are you looking for a high prebiotic-gut healthy dinner that’s easy and flavourful? You’ll want to try out this warming comfort dish!

Being at home during the holidays meant I had seen way more commercials than normal. And one that was been a special treat is the one for Dove's deodorant - the product that not only protects us from sweat but 'cares for our underarm skin' as well.

I often find it much easier to convince someone to try doing a low FODMAP diet than it is to get them to consider the re-introduction program.

And I get it.

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could test yourself to see if you have allergies to 400 foods, 325 non-foods, PLUS get information on your body's nutrient levels AND heavy metals AND gut microbiome AND hormonal analysis through just one strand of your hair?
