Adventures in life
I was given a great new book from Fredrik and Erin for my Birthday. It is written by the women who is behind the research and findings about FODMAP.
The book: The Two-step LOW-FODMAP Diet and Recipe book, was a great read and I will be referring to this many times in the future.
Making my favourite birthday cake, Jordgubbstårta, was not a problem this week.
The sponge was made with glutenfri flour (only has egg, flour and sugar in it), I made my own custard (with lactosfree milk) and as I can have small amounts of whipped cream, I added a thin layer on the cake. It was very appreciated by the whole family, with no leftover.
It is not hard to substitute most of the no-foods to make nice meals, just takes some time to look through the ingredients and then choosing something else. And as I feel great if avoiding the no-foods, it is well worth it. I also learn with time and experience what to say to people when I visit others.
We recently went and visited friends, who are very good at asking what I can eat and not. Instead of a Skagenröra for starter (which is a mix of shrimp, sour cream on toast, I was given a pile of shrimp, with mayonnaise and added some black roe. Tasted delicious. This weekend I tried to make a Skagenröra with ingredients I can have, and it turned out great. Substitutet the sour cream with cottage cheese, added lemon juice, olive oil, salt and peppar and served on toast, glutenfri toast for me. Liked by all around the table.
