So the “titch” of extra PHE was a “titch” too much… I added the whole grains for about 2 weeks including two 1/4 cup servings of whole grains a day. Unfortunately it increased my levels and made me feel a bit run down- so back to the drawing board! I still want to focus on … Continue reading »
Keeping it Wholesome
One of the biggest areas I’m trying to focus on are the carbohydrates that I eat. Historically my starchy carb intake has been mostly low protein pasta, rice and bread and pretty hefty portions. I want to try and spruce up this food group by keeping it wholesome. I looked through my low protein food … Continue reading »
Time to get PHElosophical
It’s time for a change. I have some pretty solid opinions on food and our diets. I like real food. I like to know what the ingredients are in what I am eating. I don’t like all those chemical sounding fillers and additives. No thanks. I’d rather a little dab of butter (ingredients: cream, salt) … Continue reading »
Snowed in Comfort Food
Today was grocery day but an unexpected blizzard halted those plans in their tracks! Trying to whip up something creative to warm our bellies I started seeing what food we had on hand. A head of broccoli, two red peppers and some onions were a pleasant surprise of some fresh ingredients to use up. Matty … Continue reading »
More than just a Thai me over!
Tonight I was inspired by a Thai Coconut Curry soup I found on pintrest (credit here) . My Mom was always excited about Thai cooking because of all the veggies and spices that I can eat since they are low in PHE. Plus she knows me well in that I love spices and flavors that … Continue reading »

Sometimes I get in a creative rut. Kind of like a writers block, where I can’t think of anything more exciting or creative to make for dinner except pasta and sauce (which I do love, but can get old after a few nights in a row). So I decided to take a trip down memory … Continue reading »

Granola Bars
I’ve played around with granola recipes before with pretty decent success but this time I made it into bars and am very pleased with the outcome! One day it dawned on me that I can use Rice Krispies instead of Puffed Rice in my granola (which doesn’t ‘crunch’ as well) so I went to the … Continue reading »
Turnip Gnocchi
I wrote an article and some recipes in the Winter 2011 National PKU News and in it I had a recipe for Gnocchi. I have had many people ask me for the recipe since then and I couldn’t be more excited because it really is delicious and I am happy people want to try it out! However, … Continue reading »
Arugula Kick!
I have been on an arugula kick these past few weeks. It’s been awhile since I embraced the peppery crunchy addition to sandwiches and salads and it was about time. I have been loving pita pockets full of arugula and salsa, and decided to do a little twist on this for dinner tonight. I am … Continue reading »
