I got a lot of requests for recipe when I posted some crispy smashed potatoes on Instagram stories last week. And by a lot, I mean like 2. I just wanted an excuse to keep making and consuming potatoes, and here we are! You all know I like my crispy potatoes – these salt and vinny…

FODMAP friendly pizza sauce (vegetarian, gluten free)
I was today years old when I figured out that people don’t just spread tomato paste on pizza and call it a day. Who knew there was such a thing as pizza sauce? (everyone but me). Now that I have discovered this delightful trick, however, it would be rude not to share a recipe for…
