Low Fodmap Chicken and Potato Salad

Low Fodmap Chicken and Potato Salad

I love chicken salads, don’t you? This Low Fodmap Chicken and Potato Salad tastes amazing and will keep you full and satisfied. If you can’t eat bread, the potatoes will help fill you up. However, you can still enjoy this salad in a sandwich of you want.

Italian Vegetable Pie

Italian Vegetable Pie

Today’s recipe is a delicious Italian Vegetable Pie. It is very simple to make and it is lower in fat than a regular quiche, since it does not contain any milk or cream. You can use your favourite vegetables for this one and it is also a great way to finish off leftover vegetables lying…

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…

Onigiri

Onigiri

Today I am going to share with you one of my favourite Japanese recipes: Onigiri – aka Japanese Rice Balls. As you know, in the last 2 years, my family and I have visited Japan twice (check out my 2015 post and my 2017 post). We literally love the country and its food! Not only,…

Ham and Cheese Frittata Roll

Ham and Cheese Frittata Roll

Frittata is my favourite way to eat eggs. My mother would make it once a week: Saturday at lunch. I love the fact that you can add many different ingredients and turn it into a completely new dish every time. The one I used to like the most while growing up was with fried potatoes,…

Italian Rice Salad

Italian Rice Salad

I recently realised I still hadn’t posted the recipe for Italian Rice Salad. And that my dear readers, after over 6 years of blogging, is a huge oversight! Needless to say, the issue required to be addressed immediately. Italians eat rice salads quite often during spring and summer and there are countless recipes. In fact,…

Salt-Crusted Snapper

Salt-Crusted Snapper

I am very excited about today’s recipe! Salt-Crusted Snapper is one of my mum’s signature dishes. In fact, she made it for us just a few days ago and I managed to get her recipe for it to share with all of you here on the blog! Aren’t you lucky? If you like fish, this…

Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli

Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli

Today I am going to share the recipe for a delicious sandwich: Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli. This recipe is an ode to the Mediterranean: the chicken marinade’s flavours are of clear Greek-Turk inspiration, while the Aioli component brings in the south of France and Spain and the arugula (also known as rocket) and tomatoes…

Italian Sausages in Tomato Sauce

Italian Sausages in Tomato Sauce

As a child, sausage used to be my most favourite meal! And I must admit that I still like it a lot. The kind of sausage I prefer is the Sicilian one, made with only pork meat and with the addition of fennel seeds. As I cannot always find it here, I make my own…

Italian Tuna Loaf

Italian Tuna Loaf

My kids don’t like seafood much… but they do make an exception for tuna. So, with that in mind, I try and use tuna in different ways and recipes so that they don’t get bored of eating it. Today I will share with you my recipe for an Italian classic dish that we call Polpettone…

Mint Chicken Pita Pockets

Mint Chicken Pita Pockets

These Mint Chicken Pita Pockets are another low-fat lunch idea I developed when I was having gallstone issues. I made it with fat-free mayo, but you can use your favourite brand/type. I used my recipe for Poached Chicken in a Mint Sauce to fill these pita pockets and I also added some lettuce and tomatoes…

Chicken Tonnato Wrap

Chicken Tonnato Wrap

If you follow my blog, you will know that I have recently been operated to remove my gallbladder, as I had gallstones. In the weeks before the surgery, I had to follow a strictly low-fat (fat-free, really!) diet. This Chicken Tonnato Wrap was one of my favourite lunches. It was filling, healthy and satisfying.  I…

Curried Chicken Salad

Curried Chicken Salad

I love chicken salads, don’t you? I love to eat them plain, but I like to have chicken salad sandwiches even more! This Curried Chicken Salad steps it up a notch from your usual chicken salad, both in flavour and in texture. I love the crunch added by the apples, celery and almonds and the…

Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll

Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll

Today I want to share with you one of my favourite recipes: Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll. While waiting for my gallbladder surgery I was on a strict low fat diet and this Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll was my dinner for almost 1 full month! I kept on making it, as it tasted really good even…

Chicken Involtini with Fontina, Speck and Peas

Chicken Involtini with Fontina, Speck and Peas

I love chicken involtini. Well, to be honest I love all involtini, especially when they are filled with cheese! I am always looking for different stuffing. In this case, I filled the rolls with Fontina cheese and smokey Italian Speck. I then cooked them with peas and a little bit of cream – mainly to…

Turkey Eggplant Caviar Lettuce Wrap

Turkey Eggplant Caviar Lettuce Wrap

If you follow my blog, you will know that I have recently been operated to remove my gallbladder, as I had gallstones. In the weeks leading to the surgery, I had to follow a strictly low-fat diet. As such, I had to come up with alternatives for my meals that included no more than 2…

Shredded Chicken Salad with Ranch Dressing

Shredded Chicken Salad with Ranch Dressing

It must be quite hot up in the Northern hemisphere. It’s the middle of winter here in Australia, but as it never really gets “cold” (not the cold I am used to anyway), I still like to have salads, especially for lunch. Today’s salad is a very easy one and it uses leftover chicken. I…

Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets

Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets

Due to my gallbladder issues, I have been on a low fat (almost fat-free) diet for over 2 months. Finding appetising recipes that have no more than 2 grams (0.07 oz!!) of fat per serving was not easy, but these Tuna Dill Salad Pita Pockets fit the bill if made with fat-free or very low…
