If you’ve made my Spaghetti with No-Tomato Sauce recently, you might have a bit of extra sauce in the fridge or freezer. I love having a bit extra on hand for exactly this kind of recipe! This grain-free spin on Bourbon Chicken is excellent served over cauliflower rice, but regular rice will do if you tolerate it well. It’s also a great pairing for roasted veggies like asparagus, broccoli, squash, or sweet potatoes.

The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.
