The term “ceviche” first appeared in writing in an 1820 Peruvian song. I have always assumed the term came originally from Spanish but the more I researched, the more I found the word “ceviche” and the origins of this dish are shrouded in mystery. It’s possible the word came from […]
Poke Bowls have become really popular over the last few years, and for good reason! They’re nutritious, delicious, and relatively easy to assemble. But you probably haven’t been part of the craze if you have gastritis, GERD, or other stomach inflammation. This is because Poke tends to have lots of […]
Do you love smoked fish like I do? I probably love it more than smoked meats and jerky, and that’s saying a lot. Although it’s not too hard to find trout, it is not common at all to find in large or chain supermarkets (in my experience). I can find […]
Lemon-garlic-dill browned-butter salmon! Is that a lot to say? It’ll be worth it when you discover how much delicious flavor goes with such a long name. But the recipe couldn’t be easier! The featured photos are Fulton Fish Market’s center cut salmon portions. Center cut portions are thick and uniform […]
Yellow saffron rice is a delicious, easy-on-the-tummy kind of dish, so I have enjoyed incorporating it into the gastritis diet I’ve developed and followed over the last year. I had been a sufferer of chronic gastritis for a number of years, but it took me a while even to understand […]

As I spent over the last year recovering from chronic gastritis, I started becoming more and more addicted to mushrooms. Although I get why not everyone loves mushrooms, they have so much to offer in terms of flavor, variety, and nutrition, that I would encourage anyone who enjoys them to […]
You wouldn’t know it judging from most Middle eastern eateries in the US, but bright pink pickled turnips (in many places called “torshi left,” or just “left,” which simply means turnip) is a necessary component for many meals all over the Middle East. No, there’s not some crazy pink variety […]
Rutabaga is a hearty and satisfying root vegetable. It is actually a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables which includes things like broccoli, cauliflower, kale and more. It is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Of course, we can see its closer resemblance to cousins like turnips and radishes. […]
So, why does ramen have quotes around it in my title? If we’re talking about Ramen noodles, these are traditionally made with wheat flour. It is therefore a gluten-containing product which we would ordinarily advise people on a gastritis (and potentially GERD) diet to avoid, at least for the first […]
