August 17, 2018 FODMAP Friday

I came back from an excellent birthday week at Disneyland, to a fun weekend at Outside Lands. It still amazes me how many awesome gluten-free treats they have there, especially as compared to BottleRock, which I also attended this year.

Unfortunately, my birthday fun was sidelined early this week by a case of food poisoning. It was a rotisserie chicken that looked like it was cooked through and safe to eat. But in retrospect, I should have reheated it myself just to make sure. But I love cold chicken in my salads. And didn’t think about the possibility that it might make me sick.

Lesson re-learned and noted.

As you might imagine, my cooking was a little…bland this week. Now that I’m feeling up to it, I plan on baking some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies today, and putting together a delicious seasonal meal plan for the week. Since I’m putting the finishing touches on my August Farmers Market Produce Guide, the recipe suggestions for August, plus this week’s #FODMAPfriday recipes,  will do double duty as this week’s meal plan.

Low FODMAP Recipes

Get inspired with this week’s #FODMAPfriday low FODMAP recipe round-up, featuring the tastiest low FODMAP recipes I’ve come across this week.

• This Low FODMAP Orange Quinoa Loaf from Manu’s Menu makes a sweet afternoon treat fresh from the oven or, or toasted from a slice saved in the freezer.
  
• Roasted Carrot Hummus from The Fat Foodie makes a healthy afternoon snack.
• Tired of salads or your standard selection of roasted veggie side dishes? Check out this recipe for Roasted Romaine. 
• I love a hearty salad for dinner. This Mediterranean Pasta Salad from Calm Belly Kitchen looks like a perfect weeknight dinner.
• Calm Belly Kitchen also served up something that I think will become a new favorite—Grilled Chicken Thighs with Curry-Lime Marinade.
• I love the unusual crunchy crust on this Crusted Salmon recipe from She Defined.
