Orange, Blueberry, Passion Fruit Smoothie
I love a good smoothie, especially for breakfast or as a mid-morning snack. I find that having a glass of sweet fruity smoothie keeps me full till lunch time. The fact that that glass of goodness is also packed with vitamins is definitely a plus.
Maple Peanut Butter Popcorn
I love popcorn and I often make for the family when we stay home to watch a movie on the weekend. Popcorn makes a great snack, even for people with digestive problems.
Low Fodmap Orange Cakes
When it’s tea time, I often feel the need for a quick snack, better if of the sweet kind. Following the Low Fodmap diet can make things hard, especially since I am having trouble with fructose.

Almond Pralines
These Almond Pralines are addictive. Believe me, you may not be able to stop eating them! In Italy, when I was little, they were sold by street vendors during Christmas time, or at local fêtes and markets.
Garlic and Tomato Green Beans
Today’s recipe is very common in Italy, especially in the south. We often cook boiled vegetables with garlic and tomato to turn them into a flavoursome dish. This technique is called “ripassare”, which means to give the vegetables a second cooking.

Fried Bell Peppers and Potatoes
My readers often write to me to ask for some quick side dish ideas to serve with their Italian meals. I know, I don’t publish many side dishes on the site. I am not sure why as growing up, my mother would always serve at least one or two sides with our meal. Anyhow, these…

Walnut Ciabatta Bread
As you know, I love baking bread and having recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant, that’s a great thing. Not many people know this, but lactose is not only found in milk and dairy products. Lactose is used as a preservative for cold meats like ham and salami for example, and it is often…
Roasted Pumpkin and Carrot Quinoa Salad
I only recently discovered quinoa and now I am hooked. I love all grains that can be used to make salads (I have plenty of couscous and maftoul recipes on the blog already!), so I already knew I would like quinoa. And I was not mistaken. I love its crunch and its slight bitterness, especially…

This Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread is one of the first attempts at…
