FINALLY! A recipe my BF actually LIKES!! I've tried several, & I liked most of them, but he hasn't been impressed with any of them until now! He liked the oven fried honey chicken but it didn't really WOW him. But he LOVES this & wants me to make it when we have our friends over next weekend! THANK YOU! btw I made it w/ground turkey.

Hehe, I totally understand ya there. My BF is being quite the trooper, trying to accept this diet of mine. It's not practical any other way - neither of us can afford to buy/cook for ourselves (afford time, money, and space) and well, if I'm going to play housewife (I'm on disability due to IBS and many, many other problems), and he's going to work his butt off, then I try to cook as often as I can. I've been very lucky, he's liked about 98% of every recipe I've thus made, whether it was one I found here on the IBS board, one I found elsewhere, or one I attempted to make myself. I am no cook - anyone can follow a recipe, but not everyone can cook so if my BF likes what I cook, then it's a compliment for sure, hehe, a compliment on the recipes themselves and for my own efforts. The poor guy does complain, err rather he mentions that he misses the real stuff. He has a large deal of non-IBS safe food in the pantry and fridge, too - that meanie head! :P He says to me he misses ground beef, but sheesh, the guy gets pork loin now and then and on top of that about once a month he gets steak! *rolls eyes in exasperation*. At least he's trying though, and he's eating what I cook - there's no place for him to hide it and no pet to feed it too *giggle*. I've made a lot and I mean a lot of ground turkey recipes. I posted a stroganoff one and I made a really yummy tuna noodle casserole, too, adapted for IBS and inspired by the ideas of others. Sometimes I use Recipezaar and post recipes there or find recipes there that people from here have posted or that I can adapt for the IBS diet. Good luck!
