It’s My Birthday!
And no, I am not going to say which one it is.
Birthdays are for gifts, and it’s a birthday girl’s prerogative to turn the tables and do the gift giving. For the last week, I have been thinking about what I could give you that would help you with your IBS and the low Fodmap diet, and this morning I woke up with a brainwave.
What was the best way to give you access to a whole heap of information?
FREE access to the IBS Insider Club for 2 weeks, of course!!
Isn’t that a brilliant idea?
Two full weeks to look around and see if this is a place you want to stay? How often can you try before you buy?
If you love it and find the information super useful (all my best videos are in there) and you enjoy the chat room and having virtually instant access too me for questions, then you do nothing and after two weeks, the payment will be automatic. If you decide it is not a perfect fit for you, then you cancel the payment before the two weeks is up and you don’t pay a brass farthing.
This is your chance to see what you have been missing out on in the club, and it will cost you nothing. Click HERE to see what’s in the club. Once there, click on JOIN NOW to get your free 2 weeks of access. ENJOY!!
Eggplant Dip
I have been asked to make a low Fodmap dip by a member of the IBS Insider Club and this eggplant dip is the result. We can eat 1/2 cup of eggplant so this will be fine but, as always, don't overindulge. I added a tomato and a yellow pepper and roasted the lot then added a few different flavours to lift it to the sublime. We are having it tonight with champagne to celebrate my birthday. The small bread rolls you can see in the photo ate my favourite low Fodmap ones and so easy to make. You can see the recipe HERE.
- 1 eggplant
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 tomato
- Olive oil
- Cumin powder
- Turmeric
- ½ pack of feta cheese
- Lemon juice
- Rosemary
- Salt & pepper
- Heat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Cut the eggplant in half and place on an oven tray. Smother with olive oil.
- Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the tomato in half and de-seed the pepper. Cut into 4 pieces.
- When the eggplant has been roasting for 10 minutes, add the pepper and tomato. Sprinkle with cumin, turmeric and olive oil.
- Roast another 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a while.
- Scrape out all the pulp of the vegetables, leaving the skins and tomato seeds.
- Place in a food processor with the feta cheese and process.
- Now add finely chopped fresh rosemary, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt and pepper to taste.
- Scrape out into a bowl and serve with gluten-free bread, crisps or gluten-free crackers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Suzanne!! May it be filled with fun and joy
Happy birthday 🙂
Happy Birthday!
happy Birthday Suzanne. Love this dip it looks great and sounds even better with champagne!
Thanks, Tania. Champagne makes everything better.
Happy birthday! I love champagne too but I’ve been told that it’s one of the worst triggers of IBS symptoms. I’m very wary of it these days. I used to love eggplant with lots of garlic…..it’s just not the same now! Yours looks good.
You can relax, Lynette. I can assure you champagne is far from being one of the worst triggers of IBS. You can look to onions and garlic for that title. One glass of dry champagne is actually low Fodmap. The bubbles can be a gut irritant but those in champagne are far less irritating than those in cheap bubbly. So do have a glass to celebrate the happy moments of your life.
Happy birthday and what a generous gift! I hope you enjoyed this dip with the champagne. I love the sound of all the roasted vegetables – what great flavour this must have xx
I sure did enjoy it, and on a sandwich for lunch the next day too.
Can someone please provide measurements for spices? Cumin, turmeric and others? Thank you!
They are seasonings so you can add to taste. But maybe 1/2 tsp of each.
