Ranch Style Salad Dressing - Low-FODMAP - Gluten-Free - Vegan:

Image
As a kid one of my favorite treats that my Grandma Gabby let me pick for dinner was "Mondo Salads ". She'd fill a bowl with a lettuce mix and then let me pile all my favorite salad toppings on top. I got to pick what I wanted at the store and then how much of it I got once we got home. Like most of the time we spent in the kitchen together, it was a nice bonding time; both because we were doing something together, and because she made it very clear that what I wanted was valid and worth doing. So, like most folks laity , I've been casting around for new recipes to add to our rotation. So, thanks food restrictions, I had to make my own salad dressing.

Protein Oatmeal Cookies - Low-FODMAP - Vegan - Gluten-Free:

I have been on the hunt for protein bars that are Gluten-Free, have no nuts, and are low-FODMAP. And, I uh, at this pint am pretty sure they don't exist. They're like, unicorn level mythical.

Hummus - Low-FODMAP - Gluten-free - Vegan:

Image
I like to snack. I might even like to snack better than I like to eat properly sized meals. And since going on a low-FODMAP diet gab 'em and eat 'em snacks have been sort of hard to come by for me, when I also factor in my food allergies. Sure, I can eat most of a veggie platter or grab a bag of chips at the store, but those options are limited. What about something to dunk my veggies or chips in? And so, I present, Low-FODMAP Hummus. This recipe is only very slightly tweaked from  this one , from All Recipes. I just did the legwork of converting the recipe to be Low-FODMAP.

Sheet Pan Pancakes - Gluten-free - Low-FODMAP:

Image
I was browsing Pinterest recently after my Partner, Vox, made us pancakes. I liked the pancakes. I used to hate pancakes! So I was wondering if there was an easier way to make a big batch of them and came across Pan Sheet Pancakes . Oh my, yes please! But I couldn’t find a suitable Gluten-Free version that used Bisquick’s mix, so I made one. You can probably sub out other Gluten-Free mixes or make your own, but I haven’t tried anything else yet, so if you do let me know how it went in the comments! I’m sure there are other toppings you could add on as you bake, and I’ll update the recipe as we find good things to add that are IBS friendly.
