10 Low FODMAP Holiday Recipes - Delicious as it Looks (2)

I’ve been writing this blog since 2010, and blogging about low-FODMAP recipes since about 2013. I’ve come to the point where I’m able to look back on all of my hard work over the years and feel really proud of myself. Sometimes I can’t believe how many recipes I’ve blogged about. And yet, I still feel like I can’t keep up with all of the ideas in my head. It can get frustrating having a body that’s not up to the tasks I have in mind. Despite my frustrations, I still feel privileged that I can compile a list like this. It’s been years in the making.

I’ve learned the best way to survive the holidays is to have low expectations. I used to make a ton of cookies and treats, but now I make only a couple of my favorites. Decorating at my house is minimal and all present shopping is done online. I hope you have the energy to try at least one of these treats I have listed in these 10 Low FODMAP Holiday Recipes. If not, well, just enjoy the photos. No pressure from me! Happy Holidays from Delicious as it Looks!

    Dianne, so glad to have found your website. I need FODMAP recipes and looks like you have some really good ones. I am so new to this way of eating and finding it hard to find recipes that are not so full of tons of ingredients. Finding it very hard to also find ingredients I can use in the recipes. Not many stores carry products that I can use. So thank you for your wonderful recipes.
