  • Chicken thigh with Roasted Vegetables

    • Pan fry chicken thigh, making sure the thickest part reaches 165° F
    • Season to taste (I recommend a pinch of kosher salt and a good helping of black pepper but that’s just me. You can also go savory with rosemary sprig for the last 5 minutes of cooking)
    • While chicken is cooking, put chosen vegetables in a bowl, lightly cover with olive oil. Sprinkle salt
    • bake in oven at 400°F for 45 minutes

    If you’re feeling adventurous:

    • sear both sides of chicken in a Dutch oven (or cast iron)
    • while waiting, season vegetables as instructed above
    • once both sides of the chicken are sufficiently browned, add vegetables to the Dutch oven
    • Cover and stick it in the oven at 375°F for 30-45 minutes depending on how done you want your vegetables

    If you use the latter method, be sure to cook the chicken all the way through. Vegetables will be soaked in chicken fat.


  • I’ve been on a low fodmap diet for a while. This is a really broad question without some parameters but I’ll give it a go.

    It also depends on what the goal of the low fodmap is (e.g. weight loss, diabetic control, etc.)

    That said:

    • a quick and easy way is to assume all processed carbs are out. This isn’t 100% true across the board but helps you draw a line somewhere. Processed carbs being things like bread, candy bars, pasta, etc.
    • nuts like walnuts and peanuts are great snacks
    • eggs for breakfast or if you want something more filling you can do oatmeal with some oatmilk. Not regular milk
    • for meals, do whole foods like a chicken thigh with some peppers or a lean steak with spinach
    • since you love potatoes, a great trick is to make a ton of roasted cut potatoes and put them in a container. Add them to dishes as you see fit. Even though I don’t do low FODMAP, I still do this
