Patriotic Potato Salad (Low FODMAP)

30 Minutes prep • 2 hours chill • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

I have loved this potato salad since Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso published it decades ago in their Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook. I have made very slight modifications to the recipe for all of you to enjoy. It’s a wonderful potato salad for any occasion, and it’s even better the next day so it’s a great make-ahead time saver. The name came from the fact that the salad creates a confetti effect that anticipates a celebration.

Ingredients

14 small new red potatoes, scrubbed clean

6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and quartered

1 - 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and grated

1 bunch green onions, green part only (chopped)

3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup lactose-free sour cream

3/4 cup mayonnaise

Directions

(1) Prepare: Hard boil the eggs. Wash potatoes and cut larger potatoes in half so they are all about the same size. Peel and grate the carrot(s). Chop the green onion greens.

(2) Cook the potatoes: Heat a medium-size saucepan of water to boiling. Add the potatoes and cook just until tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut in half.

(3) Make the salad: Combine the eggs, potatoes, carrots, and green onion greens in a large bowl. Add the dill, parsley, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper and gently toss to combine.

(4) Blend and add the sauce: Mix the sour cream and mayonnaise and gently fold into the potato mixture.

(5) Finish: Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

(6) Plate and serve: Stir, taste, and add a bit more salt if needed. Serve alongside any grilled meat or fish.

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 Mango Halibut Rice Bowl (Low FODMAP)

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

My daughter is AMAZING in the kitchen and she can whip recipes up out of thin air. This one was particularly delicious and also perfectly low FODMAP so I had to share! Halibut is firm, flaky, and mild and it pairs beautifully with the coconut rice, sweet mango, creamy avocado, and all the veggie toppings. Mango has a lot of fructose but one ounce is considered low FODMAP and a little goes a long way. It makes a beautiful addition and you don’t need much to add a delightful tropical flavor to this recipe. Make this tonight and transport yourself to the tropics.

Ingredients

12 ounces Halibut

1 tablespoon toasted toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon salted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Ingredients: Coconut rice

1 cup jasmine rice, or sushi rice

1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Ingredients: Toppings

4 ounces Mango, diced

1/2 cup purple cabbage, chopped

2 medium carrots, grated

2 green onions, green part only, chopped

8 ounces avocado, cubed

3 Persian cucumbers, sliced

1/2 cup microgreens

2 cups baby spinach, long stems removed

Pickled ginger (like you get with sushi)

Ingredients: Sauce

2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash, chop, grate, and slice the veggies as indicated. Preheat the oven or grill to 425 degrees F.

(2) Make the coconut rice: Put the rice in a fine strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside and let drain. In a medium saucepan over medium heat add the coconut milk, rice, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 18-20 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat. Stir and let sit for a few minutes before serving.

(3) Make the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small jar or bowl and shake or whisk to combine.

(4) Cook the fish: Melt the butter and mix with the sesame oil. Put the fish in the middle of a square of foil large enough to make into a loose pouch around the fish. Add salt and pepper to the fish, then fold the foil across the top and sides to seal. Grill on medium-high or cook in a 425 degree F oven for 8 - 10 minutes—or until the fish is opaque and flakes when you cut into it.

(5) Plate and serve: Make a bed of spinach in the bottom of the bowl. Cover with warm coconut rice. Add the fish, then all of the other toppings around the fish. Drizzle with sauce and serve with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and pickled ginger on the side.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Carne alla Pizzaiola (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 30 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Keto-friendly • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Step 1

My wonderful client Jan shared her recipe for Carna alla Pizzaiola with me and I couldn’t wait to try it. I was not disappointed. The steak was delicious and the tomato sauce, made with fresh Roma tomatoes, was rich and flavor-packed. On top of that, it was easy to make and ready in under 40 minutes. I served it over Rummo gluten-free Penne Rigate but you could serve it on its own bathed in the delicious rich sauce.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

2 pounds steak of your choice: sirloin, flat iron, skirt steak, or rib-eye (use boneless chicken if you prefer)

4 small (up to 10 ounces) fresh Roma tomatoes, chopped

1/4 cup red wine, rose, or chicken broth if you prefer an alcohol-free version

1 teaspoon dry oregano

1 teaspoon dry basil

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Olives (black or green) and/or capers, a salty and delicious optional addition if you like

12 ounces (dry) gluten-free pasta of your choice (optional-not for keto-friendly version)

1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

(1) Prepare the meat: This step is optional but results in more flavorful and tender meat for your Pizzaiola. Remove the meat from the package. Season both sides of each piece lightly with Diamond Crystal Kosher salt and lay the meat on a rimmed plate or baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use or at least 4 hours before cooking.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you may leave the meat in the refrigerator overnight or until ready to cook (up to 2 days).

(2) Cook the pasta: If serving with pasta, cook the pasta per package instructions. Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil or butter.

(3) Braise the steak: Heat garlic olive oil in a large frying pan. When hot, add the steak and braise on each side just until the steak is done to your liking. (If using chicken, be sure to cook the chicken just through at this step.) Remove from the pan and put in a baking dish.

(4) Bloom the herbs: In the same skillet, add a bit more garlic olive oil. When hot, add the dry herbs and let cook in the oil for about 30 seconds to bring out the flavor.

(5) Cook the tomato sauce: Add the tomatoes and wine (or chicken broth). Cook for 5 minutes to soften the tomatoes and allow the sauce to start to reduce. Add the olives and capers, if using. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 15 minutes.

(6) Finish: Add the meat back to the pan with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the meat and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the meat is warmed through. If you prefer you can do this final step in a 350-degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes instead of on the stove.

(7) Plate and serve: Put the pasta on the plate, sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, layer on the meat, and the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan and fresh basil.

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.

Veggie Supreme, Keto Friendly Lasagna (Low FODMAP)

45 Minutes prep • 60 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Vegetarian • Serves 6 - 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

This veggie lasagna is loaded with flavor and piled high with plants! From the rich marinara sauce to the spinach filling, to the eggplant “noodles” this dish will delight the whole family. It takes a little doing to get all the different layers prepared, but it will be worth the effort when you taste the result. Save time by putting it all together ahead of time and then bake it whenever you’re ready. This lasagna is made even better by serving it with my Arugula Pesto which comes together quickly while the lasagna is baking.

Ingredients: Eggplant “noodles”

3 large eggplants (about 3 lbs)

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

Ingredients: Spinach filling

1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil

1 cup leek greens, chopped

6 ounces baby spinach, (about 4 cups)

1/4 teaspoon each Kosher salt and black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Ingredients: Cheese filling

15 ounces lactose-free cottage cheese

1 large egg

1/4 cup chopped basil

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Ingredients: Marinara

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

1 cup leek greens, chopped

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

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

15-ounce can or box of finely chopped tomatoes

1/2 cup water

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients: Lasagna

1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella

3/4 cup parmesan, grated

1/4–1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and remove long stems from spinach. Grate the cheeses. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

(2) Make the Marinara: In a saucepan or frying pan with high sides, heat the garlic-infused olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the leek greens and saute until tender and bright green. Add the Italian seasoning to the bottom of the pan and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and water, then stir to combine. Add the bay leaf and Essence of Garlic Salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let simmer until the rest of your lasagna ingredients are ready (30 minutes minimum—and longer brings out even more flavor). When finished, taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.

(3) Roast the eggplant: Slice eggplant longways into 1/2-inch thick slices and place on prepared baking pans. Sprinkle half the salt over the top as evenly as possible. Turn each piece over and sprinkle the remaining salt on the other side. Let the eggplant sit (and sweat) for about 15-20 minutes while the oven gets hot. When the eggplant looks damp, pat the top side down with paper towels. Brush or spray with olive oil. Flip them. Blot with paper towels, then spray with olive oil. Roast in the middle of the oven for 30-40 minutes, checking at 25 minutes and rotating the pans. Roast until the eggplant is golden and tender. Thinner slices cook faster so keep an eye on it and don’t let it burn. Remove from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Set aside.

(4) Make the spinach filling: While the eggplant roasts, make the spinach filling. In a large skillet, heat the oil, then add the leek greens and saute over medium heat until tender, about 3 - 4 minutes. Add the fresh spinach, lowering the heat and turning the mixture so the spinach wilts and softens. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using), then remove from the heat and set aside.

(5) Make the cheese filling: In the bowl of your food processor add the cottage cheese. Pulse until smooth. Add the egg, basil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl once or twice. Set aside.

(6) Assemble the lasagna: Spread 3/4 cup marina sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of roasted eggplant (about half), overlapping a little if needed. Cover evenly with half of the cheese filling and all of the wilted spinach mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2- 3/4 cup mozzarella and 1/8 cup grated parmesan. Next add the remaining eggplant, overlapping again if needed. Pour over the remaining marinara sauce and spoon the remaining cheese filling in dollops over the top. Add the rest of the grated mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the top. Sprinkle with a few chili flakes (optional).

Make-ahead note: If you’re not going to cook the lasagna right away, put it in the refrigerator.

(7) Bake: Cover with parchment and then foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes, uncover and bake 10-20 more minutes, until golden and bubbling and slightly puffed in the center.

(8) Plate and serve: Let the lasagna rest 5 minutes before serving, dot it with Arugula Pesto (optional but very delicious!)

Coconut Cacao Granola (Low FODMAP)

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!

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.

Quinoa Crunch Salad with Peanut Sauce (Low FODMAP)

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!

Greek Chicken Salad (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Keto-friendly • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

This is the perfect follow-up to the Mediterranean chicken skewers I published last week. I had some of the skewers left over and the chicken made the perfect complement to this classic Greek salad. It’s quick to make, and the flavors are fresh and vibrant. If you can get fresh Oregano for the dressing, it’s a delicious addition.

Ingredients: Salad

1 head Romaine lettuce, washed, spun dry, and chopped

4 Persian cucumbers, chopped

1 Roma tomato, chopped

1/2 cup crumbled Feta

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved

2 cups of cooked chicken (my Mediterranean Chicken Skewers are a great choice here)

Ingredients: Dressing

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dry oregano)

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and chop the lettuce, cucumbers, and tomato. Chop the cooked chicken.

(2) Make the dressing: Combine all ingredients in a jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk to combine.

(3) Make the salad: Combine all ingredients in a large salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

(4) Plate and serve: Serve generous portions. No need to add anything else!

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.

Mediterranean Chicken Skewers (Low FODMAP)

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!

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 • 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!

Sheet Pan Lemon Dill Chicken with Root Veggies (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 30 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

Vibrant color and delicious Mediterranean flavor make this dish a perfect one-pan meal for the family or a dinner party alike. You can prep the veggies and marinate the chicken ahead of time to make your meal prep fast so you can relax. Swap the root veggies around, depending on what you have on hand. No need to worry if you don’t have exactly what the recipe calls for.

Ingredients: Marinade

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Ingredients: Chicken & Veggies

1 1/2 - 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally if large

10 small new potatoes, quartered

1 medium sweet potato, cubed (I used a Hawaiian purple variety)

2 carrots, sliced

3 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil, divided

3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup Castelvetrano or Kalamata olives

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

One lemon, sliced and seeded

Fresh dill, chopped, 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. If the breasts are very large, slice them horizontally before salting.

(2) Make the marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the chicken and turn to be sure all pieces are coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes — or up to overnight.

(3) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Slice and see the lemon. Chop the root vegetables into fairly small pieces so they will cook through quickly. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Spread in one even layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you may keep the chicken marinating, and set the veggies aside in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.

(4) Bake: Lay the chicken on top of the vegetables and put two slices of lemon on each chicken breast. Sprinkle over the olives, and feta cheese. Roast for about 15 minutes then check the chicken for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. The thickest part of the chicken will be 165 degrees F when it is done. If not yet done, roast for another 5 - 10 minutes until the chicken is just done. If the vegetables are not yet tender, remove the chicken from the pan to a warm plate and cover. Toss the vegetables in the pan and roast until done.

(5) Plate and serve: Serve the veggies with the chicken on top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh dill.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Toss the mushrooms in the butter. Set the cooked mushrooms aside on a plate.

(4) Plate and serve: Divide warm rice among bowls. (Shallow wide bowls work best for this presentation.) Top with a handful of baby spinach.

Ginger Sesame Beef (Low FODMAP)

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
