Hello all,
I am newly working on the ibs diet and am having success. I am looking to add squash or pumpkin to my diet...Two things that I have never eaten before. Im wondering if any one has any quick and friendly recipes for these ingrediants? besides boiling and mashing them...

I like to take an acorn squash (the ones that look like acorns, green with an orange spot sometimes, kind of small-ish), cut it in half, get rid of the seed, fill with a tablespoon of sugar or brown sugar and cook.
To cook, fill a caserole with 1-2 centimeter (that's less than an inch) of water, put the two halves of sqash, fill with sugar (you could use honey if you can tollerate, but I prefer sugar in general, tastes better), cover and bake at 400 degrees (fahrenheit) until it begins to brown a little at the edges.

Yeah, I hear you... I was the same when I first found this site...
I learned to cook, through the recipes on the index and through digging in the internet for recipes and converting them. YOu learn a great deal from IBS.
Otherwise, what I LOVE doing with sweet potatoes is a sweet potato and pecan pie. Look for a recipe in the index or generally online (pick one with less fat, or just ommit most of the fat, and replace eggs with two egg whites). It's the kind of thing you eat on thanksgiving, less the butter, LOL. Velin (husband) loves it and complains when we don't have any at hand. I only like how it works with sweet potatoes, though, ordinary squash doesn't work.
Sweet potatoes are a kind of squash, btw, LOL

Oh, btw, when I wrote about the water in the caserole, what I meant was 1-2 cm of water. THat's like 1/3 - 2/3 inch (I am not being mathematically exact), less than an inch. Sorry, I tend to think in the metric system.

There is a spaghetti squash. On the inside are strands just like spaghetti (I got mine at a health food store.) You can use it that way too, sauce and everything.
