According to this - I would like to present to you today, another recipe for delicious low FODMAP and gluten-free cookies.

Some time ago I had a great desire for something sweet. Not fruits, not chocolate, not the coconut cookies. I wanted to try to do something new. Something that will be easy enough for my still somewhat limited culinary skills

The easiest way to make the low FODMAP cookies is to use the recipe in which milk is not obligatory.

I therefore propose to cook the oatmeal cookies, which are tasty and healthy, and their preparation takes no more than 40 minutes.

Things you will need:

- 3/4 a cup of oat flour

- 1/2 a spoon of baking powder

- 1/4 a spoon of baking soda

- about 60 g of a soft butter

- 1/2 a cup of sugar

- 1 big egg

- 1 and 1/4 a cup of oatmeal

- 1 cup of coconut shrims

The preparation:

Firstly, mix the flour with the baking powder and soda.

After that, mix butter and sugar in the second vessel, add the egg and mix it again.

Then connect the contents of both vessels.

Next, add the oatmeal and coconut shrims and mix it one more time. If the mass is too thick, you can add another egg or just add water.

Form the dough into balls and place it on the baking mold.

Bake it in the oven (preheated to 180 degrees) for about 15-20 minutes.

After baking, wait until it cools down a little bit, otherwise you will get your tongue burnt (as I did).

The green light.

Hey, hi and heeeeeello!

Some time ago, I promised that one day I will present to you some ideas for healthy, low FODMAP dinner.

The day has come.

It's no secret that since I'm on the diet I eat a lot of omelettes. Like... A LOT. Not because I don't have anything else to eat, but because I simply like it. It's easy to prepare and it can be served in many different ways. But, obviously, you may finally get sick of it.

That is why I want to share with you one of the enriched versions of the dish.

The omelette is still absurdly easy to prepare, but it's also green now.


"Green?" you may ask...
Yep. Super green.

Things you need:

- 3 eggs

- about 1/3 of package spinach (fresh or frozen; less or more)

- some spices (I used salt, pepper and curry)

It's not very hard to guess that spinach is the factor which makes the omelette green.


So now - the instructions of preparing:

Step 1: Fry the spinach and add some spices.
Step 2: Mix the eggs.
Step 3: Add the spinach to the eggs.
Step 4: Mix it.
Step 5: Fry it again.

And BOOM - you've got a  tasty green omelette. You can also decorate it with some tomatoes and mozzarella, as I did. Right here:

In case you're not convinced to spinach, let me give you some background about this vegetable.

Spinach is a valuable source of mineral salts, in particular magnesium and phosphorus, and vitamins, especially A, E and C.

It is also distinguished by a high content of proteins.

The other components are present in the average or small quantities. Optionally, as in the case of iron and calcium, they are chemically bonded and are not absorbed by the human body.

What's interesting, spinach in frozen form doesn't lose its nutritional properties, which are rapidly decreasing as the extension of the storage of fresh spinach.

And if you prepare it properly, it's really delicious!
I swear.

Conclusion?

You should totally eat it.

One bite and all your dreams will come true

Hello! 

Ready for another heartbreaking story of my life?

Yeeaaaaaaaaaaah, let's get it started!

Today's story is about the day when - since the moment of awakening - there was only one thought in my mind, namely:

Seriously, I was thinking about it throughout the day.

But, naturally, I couldn't just go and eat pizza. Well, actually I could have done it, but then I would had broken like... BILLION rules of the low FODMAP diet . 

But I love pizza SO MUCH... It was like...

And all I could do was to repeat over and over again:

But there are so many people in the world who adore pizza much more than I do. REALLY.

They make memes about pizza:

They joke about pizza:

They wear pizza:

They sleep under the pizza:

They even date pizza:

As you can see, it's not easy to forget about the need of the delicious slice(-s) of pizza.

In that situation, I started to search for some recipes which I could possibly adapt to the requirements of my diet.

After many hours of futile searching I decided to change the strategy.

I decided to delude my own mind.

I decided to... prepare pizza-look-alike dish.

Aaand VOILA!

The tart with spinach and feta cheese

THE HOMEMADE LOW FODMAP PIZZA!

The ingredients for the dough:

- 1 or 1 1/2 cup of flour (I've used oat flour instead of wheat flour and it worked!)

- 1 egg

- 1/3 cube of butter

- a pinch of salt

The ingredients for the filling:

- 1 or actually 2 packages of spinach (fresh or frozen)

- 1/2 of the pack of feta cheese

- 1 big tomato or a few small ones

- 1 spoon of lemon juice

- a pinch of nutmeg

How to prepare this preciousness?

Step 1: Knead the dough and put it for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. At this time, prepare the filling.

Step 2: Fry the spinach in butter. Stir regularly to make it frostbitten.

Step 3: Add the nutmeg and lemon juice.

Step 4: Spread the dough in the baking mold and put it in the oven (preheated to 180 degrees) for 15 minutes. 

Step 5: After removing from the oven, put the spinach, crumbled feta cheese and the tomatoes on it.

Step 6: Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees and at the end - for 5 minutes at 200 degrees.

Excellent both hot and cold. 

Bon appetit!

Man does not live by bread alone...

...especially when they are on the low FODMAP or gluten-free diet.

But speaking personally, I'm a bread admirer and it was really hard for me to eliminate it from my menu for such a long time.

I was looking for some gluten-free recipes in the Internet, but all off them contained milk or some expensive substitute so I gave up.

But one day my sister send me the recipe of a bread (baked by her colleague) which she had an opportunity to taste. She was so thrilled that I decided to experience it firsthand.

This was the day I baked my first bread.

And this was the day I fell in love.

With this bread.

Figuratively.

Do you want to know what was it made of?

Any guesses?

No?

Well, how about the most incredible fruit in the world called a BANANA?

Seriously, banana is like... I don't know... The horn f plenty! It tastes amazingly good in any form! I even eat it right know, in this moment, writing this post (fried bananas with a little bit of melted cocoa and coconut shrims).

Let's get back to the point - THE RECIPE FOR A HEAVENLY GOOD BANANA BREAD:

- 2 bananas

- 100 g of oat flour

- 3 eggs (3 egg whites and 2 egg yolks)

- 1-2 spoons of baking powder

- 1-2 spoons of cinnamon (not necessary)

Well, yeah. That's the recipe I was given. But the thing is that if you use all the ingredients in the stated amount, you will receive delicious but very flat bread.

Like the one I've made:

(the "Something went wrong")

That's why I now use the double amount of each ingredient...

Like...

- 4 bananas

- 200 g of oat flour

- 6 eggs (6 egg whites and 4 egg yolks)

- 2-4 spoons of baking powder

- 2-4 spoons of cinnamon

So unfortunately - that is also why the banana bread is actually not very economical...

But is tastes soooooo good that it's really worth to bake it once in a while.

It looks like this:

So now, step by step:

1. Whip egg whites to stiff.

2. Smash bananas and mix them with the rest of the ingredients.

3. Add the egg whites and mix it again together.

4. Pour it to the baking mold (length: 18 cm, height: 6 cm)

5. Insert the mold to the preheated oven.

6. Bake for about 35 minutes in 180 C (356 F)

7. Enjoy the delicious, soft, cake-tasting banana bread!

However, if you don't want to "waste" such a quantity of bananas for "JUST a bread"... Here you are - a song (more than one song, actually).

And remember the saying - 

Bread is the staff of life.

Love at first sigh-t

No one hates pancakes. Everybody at least tolerates it.

Me? I adore them.

But, of course, it contains both milk and wheat flour. Soooo... I shouldn't eat them, unless I finish the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet...

But one day, me and my sister came back home together and when we crossed the door, we smelt pancakes. My sister was like: "MOM! Are you making PANCAKES?! Please, SAY YES!!!"

So my mother said something like: "Yes, but this time they're different because I used an oat flour instead of wheat, 'cause I know Weronika (that's me) couldn't eat it. But there's no lactose-free milk in the frigde, so I used regular milk and... I don't know. Oh, and there's an apple in it (which I can't eat either)."

Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MUM. At least you tried.

So what should I've done? Should I watch them eating this preciousness and cry on the inside? NO WAY! I decided to prepare my own pancakes. I mean... a substitute of it.

Let me now introduce to you the BANANA OMELETTE (or banana pancake)!

Banana and egg - this combination sounds disgusting, doesn't it?

But I assure you it tastes uncommonly good!

Things you need for banana omlette:

- banana
- egg

Yep, that's it. No milk, No flour. Just banana and egg. Well, you can eat it with fruits or chocolate glaze or even with sugar powder but there is completely no need to it.

 If you use 2 bananas and 2 eggs, you will have about 6 little banana pancakes (if you use small-size pan)

How to prepare:

First, mash the banana.

Then add egg and stir it with a spoon.

At the end - fry in oil or butter.

As you can see, it's ridiculously easy. Just try!
