Beautiful Ginger Beet Old-Fashioned Cocktail

Susan Chatzky — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 19:16:32 +0000

Ginger Beet Old-Fashioned A cocktail is a treat – and this Ginger Beet Old-Fashioned is kinda special. Cocktails should be special, and delicious, and in my opinion, beautiful to look at. The beautiful color, and bold sweetness of the beets in this old fashioned make the drink really spectacular. I used a ginger simple syrup to add an extra little kick. Beets & FODMAPs Note from Dédé: Beets are low FODMAP in amounts of 20g, which roughly translates to a couple of slices. But what about beet juice? Well, we are extrapolating for our low FODMAP purposes. The recipe calls for .75 ounces of juice, which is roughly 20g. You could juice your own beets, if you have a juicer. Or you could buy a 100% beet juice product, such as Lakewood Organic Pure Beet Juice. Any which way, try the drink and see how you do. That’s the ultimate […]

Low FODMAP Hot Chocolate Truffle Bombs

Dédé Wilson — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 14:51:03 +0000

We think our Low FODMAP Hot Chocolate Truffle Bombs are the easiest, best and most fun way to make rich, chocolatey homemade hot chocolate. The bombs are made with just chocolate and cream! Ganache Is Versatile Ganache is a combination of chocolate and cream and is often used for cake and pastry glazes and for truffles, but it is quite versatile – like for making hot chocolate! Read on… It is not unusual for me to have extra ganache in the refrigerator (I know, I know, my fridge is not the typical fridge), and it was that treasure trove that led to this hot chocolate truffle bomb “invention.” Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention When my twins were young and wanted hot chocolate, one day I just scooped some ganache into a mug, topped with milk and microwaved until hot, stirred until blended, and voilà, truly delicious hot chocolate prepared in record time.

Low FODMAP Strawberry Ginger Fizz

Dédé Wilson — Sun, 09 May 2021 00:00:21 +0000

Strawberries and ginger? Yes? In a beverage? Why not? This festive, sparkling and easy-to-make beverage is brought to us by my friend Maureen Petrosky and excerpted from her book, ZERO PROOF drinks & more 100 Recipes for Mocktails & Low-Alcohol Cocktails. The flavors of strawberry, lime and ginger are about as refreshing as you can get! No FODMAP Fruit Strawberries are one of several fruit that contain no FODMAPs; you can learn more in our article No FODMAP Foods. While the low FODMAP diet is not a “no” FODMAP diet, but rather a low FODMAP diet, it is handy to know what foods contain no FODMAPs as they can adjunct whatever else you are eating. Ginger Contains No FODMAPs Fresh gingerroot is another food that contains no FODMAPs according to Monash University lab testing. When I saw this drink in Maureen’s book, I thought it was tailor-made for us! Choosing Ginger […]

Dédé Wilson — Sat, 08 May 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Did the title get your attention? Thinking about quenching your thirst with something icy, fruity and non-alcoholic? This low FODMAP Frozen Cosmo is from the book ZERO PROOF drinks & more 100 Recipes for Mocktails & Low-Alcohol Cocktails by Maureen Petrosky. That’s right! You don’t have to add alcohol to have fun and this book proves the point – with style. Maureen is an old friend of mine – and we then further bonded by becoming Moms of twins. She is an expert mixologist, and she takes her drink creation creativity to the max in this beautiful book. Fresh Orange Juice Contains No FODMAPs While it is not on the smartphone app, we have had correspondence with Monash University and they have told us that freshly squeezed orange juice contains no FODMAPs! This is a great tip to know when you are creating drinks for yourself. Cocktails & Mocktails Can Be Low […]

Low FODMAP Coffee Liqueur

Dédé Wilson — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:01:36 +0000

Our Low FODMAP Coffee Liqueur is our version of “Kahlua”, which is rum based and therefore high FODMAP. This coffee liqueur is based on vodka, so it is an approximation, but if you are looking for a coffee liqueur to sip, pour over ice, a scoop of ice cream, add to your coffee, or to use to make a White Russian (see below), then this is the recipe you have been waiting for. About Creating Low FODMAP Coffee Liqueur I have a BFF, Mary, who I have known since the 80s. She is an amazing cook and baker and has helped me develop, test and taste recipes over the decades. She said to me, “Dédé, this one broke me”. Let me explain. If you research homemade coffee liqueurs on the Internet, you will find all sorts of approaches and ratios of ingredients. Since the low FODMAP diet can be so […]

Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Liqueur

Dédé Wilson — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:00:57 +0000

Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Liqueur: Start with our Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Sauce, add lactose-free half-and-half and 100 proof vodka. That’s it. You’ll be sipping our Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Liqueur! How To Make Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Liqueur Place the Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Sauce and half of the lactose-free half-and-half in a saucepan and heat very gently over low-medium heat, just until caramel dissolves and incorporates with the half-and-half, whisking gently. Remove from heat and cool. Whisk in vodka and remaining half-and-half, then strain through a very fine-meshed strainer into bottles, seal tight and store up to 1 month in the refrigerator. I do like it best if chilled overnight before imbibing, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. Your Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Liqueur is ready to serve, straight-up or on the rocks or incorporated into your favorite drink, keeping in mind FODMAPs in your mixers. See our Tips […]

Low FODMAP Orange Liqueur

Dédé Wilson — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:00:42 +0000

NOTE: As of December 2021 Monash University released lab test information on brandy, which they say is low FODMAP in “1 shot glass” amounts. Assuming those are Australian shot glasses that would be 30 ml. They do state 30 g. This means you could buy Grand Marnier and have some! We are leaving this recipe here for those of you who might want to make their own version. Low FODMAP Orange Liqueur! This is our homemade version of Grand Marnier, made low FODMAP. Grand Marnier contains brandy, which had not been tested for FODMAPs at the time of us developing this recipe. We have used navel orange peel, bitter orange peel (more on that later), and low FODMAP vodka and whiskey, in addition to sugar and water, to make an orange liqueur we know you will love. Cosmos anyone? How To Make Low FODMAP Orange Liqueur Have ready a large […]

Low FODMAP Irish Cream Liqueur

Dédé Wilson — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:00:17 +0000

This Low FODMAP Irish Cream Liqueur is lactose-free and features Irish whiskey and real dairy cream for a true-to-the-original experience (just like Bailey’s Original Irish Cream). Sláinte! Our Low FODMAP Irish Cream Liqueur As always, I am interested in using high quality ingredients, so using fresh dairy cream was a must for me. If you can find lactose-free heavy cream, use it. But you can use regular heavy cream as well. (Please do not ask if you can use coconut based sweetened condensed milk; Irish cream liqueur does not contain coconut and it would alter the flavor as well as the FODMAP load. It would not be a Bailey’s dupe). For the chocolate part, I chose to use pure natural cocoa. I used Bustelo instant coffee for this recipe; it is such as small amount, it is really about adding dimension and complexity, rather than actual coffee flavor. For more information about […]

Low FODMAP Iced White Tea With Mango

Dédé Wilson — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:00:51 +0000

Our Low FODMAP Iced White Tea With Mango is simply chilled low FODMAP white tea, optionally sweetened, served with low FODMAP amounts of fresh, juicy mango. Like our recipe for Low FODMAP Iced Green Tea With Passionfruit, this one almost doesn’t need formal direction, but we want to make sure you get portions right for the white tea and mango. Mango Can Be Low FODMAP You might be thinking, mango? I thought that was high FODMAP! Fresh mango is a perfect example of a High FODMAP Food With A Low FODMAP Serving Size. Please read this article linked here for more info. There are many foods that you might be avoiding unnecessarily. Monash University has lab tested fresh mango and they give it a Green Light low FODMAP serving size at 40 g. Here is what 40 grams looks like! Plenty to add to a drink or a fruit salad. […]

Low FODMAP Peach Iced Tea

Dédé Wilson — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:00:43 +0000

This Low FODMAP Peach Iced Tea is as refreshing as it is pretty, and easy to make. It begins with a sugar sweetened peach purée featuring a low FODMAP amount of yellow peaches (more below). You can stir this purée into black iced tea, as we did for the images, or it works beautifully in green or white tea, too. Please read our article Tea & FODMAPs for general tea information. Are Peaches Low FODMAP? We have written extensively on the various kinds of peaches that have been lab tested by both Monash University and FODMAP Friendly in our article, Explore An Ingredient: Peaches, which we strongly suggest you read. We use yellow peaches for this peach syrup, as Monash has lab tested them and declared them low FODMAP in 30 g amounts. This is what 30 g looks like. Each of those wedges is a low FODMAP serving size. You […]
