This is the fourth recipe in my #whatsfordinner series, where I help you make dinner easy! My mum used to make the best Mac N Cheese when I was a little one so I’ve created a #lowFODMAP and #glutenfree version of the recipe.

Prep in: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4 (as a main - we put extra veggies on the side)
200 g (7 oz) gluten free macaroni (dry weight)
3 tbsp butter or dairy free spread
40 g (½ cup) leek (green leaves only, finely chopped)
2 pieces of streaky bacon (check GF if needed)
2 tbsp gluten free all purpose flour
500 ml (2 cups) low FODMAP milk (e.g. lactose free milk, unsweetened almond milk, rice milk)
115 g (1 cup) grated colby or cheddar cheese or vegan cheese made from coconut or soy
1 tsp yellow mustard powder
¼ tsp paprika
60 g (½ cup) green beans (diced)
85 g (½ cup) sweet corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
TOPPING
57 g (½ cup) grated colby or cheddar cheese or vegan cheese made from coconut or soy
29 g (¼ cup) gluten free breadcrumbs or gluten free weetbix (crush the GF weetbix if using)

Preheat the oven to 190ºC (355ºF). Grease a large oven dish.

Finely chop the green leaves of the leek, dice the bacon, and chop the green beans into small pieces.

Place a large saucepan of hot water on to boil. Cook the macaroni pasta according to packet instructions. Then drain.

While the macaroni cooks, heat a large frypan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of dairy-free spread/butter then fry the leek and bacon for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy.

Next add the remaining spread/butter to the pan and allow to melt, then whisk through the flour until frothy (about 1 minute). Add the grated cheese, then start slowly adding the milk a splash at a time until the sauce is thick and the cheese is melted. Stir through the paprika and mustard, sweet corn and green beans. Fold through the macaroni and transfer to an oven dish. Top with the remaining grated cheese, then sprinkle over the crushed gluten free weetbix/Nutri-Brex or breadcrumbs.

Bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Boring salads need to be banned. If you don’t want to eat dinner because it’s boring, then let me teach you about the power of easy homemade dressings and fresh herbs.

It’s time for the next #whatsfordinner post! I’m all about fresh and vibrant salads that don’t take too long to make.

My #lowFODMAP grilled chicken and egg salad with lime dressing is filled with fresh flavours and hints of lime and basil. To make it a complete meal, I like to serve the salad with a side of crunchy golden garlic bread (yes, that’s right - you can make low FODMAP garlic bread using garlic infused oil).

Follow my profile link or head to alittlebityummy.com for the full recipes for:

1⁄4 cup (31 g) dutch cocoa powder (GF if needed)
1⁄2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda (GF if needed)
1⁄2 tsp baking powder (GF if need)

WET MIX
1 cup (130 g) zucchini/courgette, grated
1 medium (95 g) ripe banana, mashed (amount per serving is low FODMAP)
1 large egg
2 tbsp olive oil
1⁄3 cup (83 ml) pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla essence
1⁄2 cup (125 ml) low FODMAP milk
3⁄4 cup (132 g) dark chocolate chips (GF or DF as needed)
1 pinch of sea salt (optional, for topping the muffins after baking)

Here’s a few favourites from the last couple of weeks:
