About

Are you familiar with Spoon Theory? If not, it’s a story written by Christine Miserandino that describes the idea of having limited energy – using “spoons” as a unit of energy – that many people dealing with chronic illness or mental health challenges are familiar with. When the energy to accomplish tasks is at a premium, the ability to cook complicated recipes is often the first thing to go. Prepackaged foods can be life saver.

But what happens when your dietary restrictions require you to make your food from scratch yourself? For example there aren’t many resources for ‘low spoons’ recipes that are also low FODMAP. That’s the focus of this blog – (mostly) from-scratch, familiar, recipes that are easy to make when low on spoons and that do not require lots of special ingredients.

I do not receive any compensation for writing this blog. I am a foodie and cooking is my hobby. I enjoying sharing the recipes I’ve written and adapted. I do my best to adhere to guidelines set by Monash University in order to create the tastiest low FODMAP dishes I can. However the guidelines can change from time to time and sometimes I make mistakes, as all people do. Additionally everyone’s digestive system is different. It is up to you to know what works for best for you.
