Recipe: “No Way” Chocolate Chip Cookies
While I’m all about maximizing the nutrition in a GP-friendly diet, I’m also rather fond of cookies. (How cute is my little “cookie?”) I’m pretty particular about the kinds of cookies I eat, though. Packaged, processed ones, full of stuff I can’t pronounce? No, thanks. I want them homemade with quality ingredients. I also…

Recipe: Not-Nutella & Banana Hot Cereal
I like hot cereal for a number of reasons. It’s GP-friendly, versatile, easy, comforting, and offers a one-bowl balanced meal (when prepared properly). I love this recipe in particular because it features some of my favorite ingredients: bananas, chocolate, and nut butter. Note: while I’m a big fan of chocolate hazelnut butter, I don’t eat…

Recipe: Roasted Root Veggie Puree
Confession: since Lilianna was born, I’ve been in a bit of a food rut. Well-balanced mini-meals? Not so much. Sometimes it’s just easier to grab a MacroBar or a handful of dry cereal, especially when you’re nursing 12 times a day (or taking care of a family, or working a lot, or not feeling well…or…

Recipe: Sweet Potatoes,Two Ways
Friday night was girls’ night at my future-sister-in-law’s house. It was a “potluck” style dinner, which is great for GPers. Bringing a dish to pass means I know there will be at least one thing I can safely eat and enjoy (if there are others, and there often are, bonus!). I brought these twice-baked sweet…

Cupcake Bust = Perfect Carrot Muffins
I really like carrot cake, but haven’t had it in years since it typically contains nuts, raisins, chunks of pineapple, or at least big shreds of hard carrots. (Not to mention it’s usually slathered in thick cream cheese frosting.) Well, I was watching The Chew recently and they made Brazilian Carrot Cake. Unlike American carrot…

All while still adhering to…

Pretty Pink Juice
I’ve been on a juicing kick lately, as I’m trying extra hard to get as many fruits and veggies into my diet as possible now that I’m pregnant. Juicing produce removes most the fiber but maintains the enzymes and nutrients — perfect for GPers! (Check out pages 211-214 in Living (Well!) with Gastroparesis for more…

C is for Cutout Cookies…
I made these pumpkin-shaped cutout cookies today. Nothing too special about that…other than the fact that they’re totally GP-friendly! Just a little over two grams of fat per cookie, soft and easy to chew completely. I treated myself to one tonight after my new favorite dinner. Cool, right? Wait, there’s more. This is only one of…

Recipe Makeover: “Pumpkin” Chocolate Chip Cookies
A cookie is a sometime food. ~Cookie Monster Now that my new book has been sent off to the printing company, I’ve starting working on recipes for the Living Well with Gastroparesis Holiday Program. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out this video…) Tonight I tried to make a GP-friendly version of…

Recipe: Gastroparesis Friendly Brownies
Every now and then, I get a serious brownie craving. Usually I’ll make a “Brownie for One,” but last week I wanted a real brownie. Not a mediocre substitute made in the microwave. Fortunately I had a box of organic brownie mix in the pantry and a container of Greek yogurt in the fridge, so…I…
