Traditional Christmas cake is hard to make FODMAP friendly so I've created a delicious spiced carrot cake for my family to enjoy instead. I love adding pumpkin seeds and a low FODMAP serve of dried cranberries to help create a dense and filling cake. If you want to make this cake egg free you will need to use an egg replacer and swap the royal icing for a butter icing.Decoration note: When you decorate your Christmas carrot cake make sure you use a fake poinsettia flower not a real one (the

I’ve been thinking about food a lot this week. More than other weeks, in fact.The occasion is that I wrote two articles about food over at the AllPsych blog – one about tricking kids into eating more vegetables and one about the beliefs Americans have about “breakfast foods”. Neither of which is directly relevant to this post, except that they got me thinking about food.Food is a fundamental part of life. For that reason, maybe food can tell us something about who we are.
