Easy does it

Day six of the low-FODMAP diet and I'm surviving. No cold sweats from ice cream withdrawal or uncontrollable cravings for stone fruit. So doing well, really. 

Keeping to the diet hasn't been as difficult as I had feared. We have been making more things from scratch, which has been an adventure. But some nights - like tonight - you just want a simple dinner. 

One particularly tricky thing about the low-FODMAP diet is that you aren't allowed onions or garlic. That makes a lot of easy meals not quite so easy. Basically all pre-made sauces are out. And some easy meat choices, like frozen fish fillets and sausages, are out too.  

Except for these nifty Blackball beef sausages. 

They are both gluten free and low in FODMAPs - deliciously juicy and flavoursome without sneaky garlic, onion powder or wheaty filler. The secret ingredient is, well, meat. 

It won't be the prettiest dinner I ever post on here, but sometimes easy is best. 

Especially when easy also means tasty. 

Our bangers and mash.
