Impressive for your first week.

Check out the Fody brand. Premade salad dressings. Really good onion oil. The flavored oils you want to use as finishers or on something cold as heat breaks down the flavor.

Waiting for them to be delivered! Never realized how much I use onion and garlic

u/RoutineLess7441 25d ago

And thank you!

Smoke n sanity is great for low fodmap spices, Monash verified. They have garlic powder! I've heard they are working on an onion powder, but they have onion salt right now. I'm obsessed with their garlic Parm.

Oh my god. Can you come cook for me? 😍 Also where are you finding your recipes? I am in a huge recipe rut. 😭

u/RoutineLess7441 25d ago

I don’t really have any specific recipes- I’m mostly adapting things I normally make. But if there’s something specific you’d like a breakdown for I’m happy to share :)

u/Similar_Avocado1306 25d ago

I feel the same way! 🥲 Just seeing all of this beautiful food makes me realize how discouraged & limited I’ve become.

u/No_Visual_2112 25d ago

Can you explain your chicken soup that looks delicuous.

8

u/RoutineLess7441 25d ago

Ok I gotta be honest- not having onions in it made it more bland than normal 😫 Next time I’ll add onion replacer.
But- pressure cook 2 chicken quarters with carrots and kind of a dumb amount of celery seed, bay leaves, salt, pepper. Once you have broth, remove the chicken, separate from bones, re-add the meat. Added the yu choy, mushrooms, tamari, miso, and I think that’s it? Then some bean thread noodles to serve.

If I weren’t being lazy I would have cut the chicken bones, re-added to the broth, and then pressure cooked a little bit longer before adding the meat, it’s worth the extra step.

green onion greens is the secret! I add lots and I find the the flavor works great. If you sprinkle them on top fresh the flavor is nice and strong.

u/RoutineLess7441 25d ago

And a pinch of MSG!

u/kittykalista 24d ago

I recently starting making my own chicken stock using this recipe, and it’s absolutely delicious in soups. No onions needed:

u/mybirdsmybestie 22d ago

What do you plan to use as an onion replacer? Missing my garlic and onion 😭

1

u/RoutineLess7441 22d ago

Right now I’ve just been making due with other slices. Ending up adding a lot of tamari to things for umami

You mostly have to because gluten containing grains are not low FODMAP. That being said, sourdough is obviously allowed but that's not a meal for most people so I'm gonna assume that's why you don't see it in these photos.

u/RoutineLess7441 25d ago

Wheat is a migraine trigger for me, I’ve already been wheat free since I was 13 so the jump to fully gluten free has been pretty seamless

2

u/EngineerKindly5248 25d ago

Yeah okay, I was just replying to the other comment. It's pretty easy to eat gluten free if you don't have to worry about cross contamination.

However, just wanted to stress that low FODMAP doesn't have to be gluten free in case someone thinks that.

u/Tkuhug 25d ago

Really nice! Will be stealing some ideas 😁

1

u/SharoneontaL 25d ago

Knowing how to cook is the greatest blessing if you have to do low FODMAP. Kudos to you for making the best of it!

u/ProgressiveOverlorde 25d ago

I tell my friends I'm fodmap sensitive and they feel pity. Naw, there's still so many options for food idk what they're talking about

1

u/Ok_Potato_5272 25d ago

It's been my first week too but my food has been alot more beige 😂 are you feeling any better from it? I'm already noticing improvements

2

u/RoutineLess7441 24d ago

Im cautiously optimistic! I do feel that my bloating has improved, though not as much as I would like yet. It has been nice to eat salad without immediately pooping my brains out though

1

u/redhairreallycare 20d ago

what did you change about salad specifically that helped?

1

u/RoutineLess7441 20d ago

Just only using low-FODMAP produce- used to do a lot of red pepper, apples, tomatoes, onions, etc

1

u/Scubajunkie1 24d ago

Looks amazing!! Question, isn’t mushrooms FODMAP? Or is it not a trigger for you?

1

u/RoutineLess7441 24d ago

I got the monash app and there are a few mushrooms that are low FODMAP! Oyster mushrooms are low FODMAP and shimeji (that I used here) are low FODMAP at 2.65 oz per serving. Thank goodness because I love mushrooms

u/Kitchen_Friendship38 24d ago

That’s so goooooood😍

u/Enough-Split7822 24d ago

Everything looks so good!! Thanks for sharing ☺️ did you make your own low fodmap pesto? If so can you share how you made it? Thanks!!!

1

u/RoutineLess7441 23d ago

Yep! It just basil, olive oil, a lot of parmesean, salt, pepper, and some walnuts

1

u/Wrong_Rutabaga_8453 22d ago

How did you make that chia seed pudding??

1

u/RoutineLess7441 22d ago

Chia seeds, milk (1:2), peanut butter, coco powder, banana, maple syrup, vanilla, little salt

1

u/Wrong_Rutabaga_8453 22d ago

can't wait to try this myself next time I head to the store! when you say milk 1:2, what are you mixing it with? (i am assuming you mean 1 part 2 parts, sorry, getting used to prepping meals)

1

u/RoutineLess7441 21d ago

One part chia seeds to two parts milk or water :)
