Hello everyone! Am trying very hard to make a lot of recipes from the boards to "try out" on the family. (Husband, 9 year old son, 5 year old daughter).......I want to be able to keep a log of all the recipes we like in my "recipe book" in the kitchen, and in the computer. WE meet up with 4 other families (very close friends) for a potluck each month and since my "diet" has changed in this past month or so since finding this awesome website my friends want me to email them my "new tried and true" recipes each month so they can keep an updated list in their computer so anytime we get together they will all make something off my recipe list and I can eat everything! WE went to a potluck at our church yesterday and 20 families came with food, (the Sunday School class we are in was hosting some Missionaries in town).... anyway, I left in tears because LITERALLY I could eat NOTHING there. I think for the first time my family saw the pain my heart was in, and they all understood FINALLY just how serious I am about not living in pain anymore! They all made me lunch when we got home! I was starving! So I am askig all of you who have time to link me and everyone else, or write in your favoite recipe and my family and I will try your favorites out. Maybe this can help a lot of people. I know I cannot eat tomatoes cooked or raw, or bell peppers. And then the usual stuff of IBS STAYAWAYS! Thank you all so much for all the information! I bet this thread could be BIG! ha

NO JOKE:
This cheesecake ROCKS!
Pumkin Cheesecake
I was skeptical about how this would taste as a replacement for my favorite food (the "bad" cheesecake). I should have just trusted everyone.... My family loved it, too. I had to make a second one 2 days later 'cause they all snarfed up the first one so quickly I barely got any!  It tastes like the perfect dream blend of my TWO favorite deserts of all time: cheesecake and pumpkin pie. OOOH! Now I want some!
I'll getcha some more later (when I get home). I depend heavily on rice noodles and rice-- hope you don't mind that kind of thing. I'll definitely get you my staple self-created rice noodle recipe. It's a combination of a ton of other recipes I saw. Everyone likes it and it's easy!

Tanya, when I first read your post I thought, "There are so many great recipes I'll never be able to list them all!" Then I remembered that over my school break a couple of weeks ago I decided to make a web page of IBS safe recipes I've tried and enjoyed. I was waiting for the right time to unveil it here, and I think this is that time! So here are my tried and true favorites:
Kree's IBS-safe Recipes
Note: A few of the recipes on the page are from you guys, and are ones I got off the board. I gave you credit, but if it bothers you that they're there please let me know and I'll remove them immediately. Enjoy!

Well, before I got to the end of your post, my crock pot spaghetti sauce came to mind immediately. However, since you can't tolerate tomato, I'd have to say either Kree's mac & cheese or my "Party Strata."
Hubby's fave is the spaghetti sauce and lentil soup with sausage (but both dishes have tomatoes in them). He also likes lemon chicken or spinach turkey loaf. The turkey loaf has a little ketchup in the piquant sauce, but you can eliminate the sauce completely if you wish.
However, if it's a dish that you want to take to a "pot luck" or Sunday social, then the "Party Strata" wins, hands down.
It'll be interesting to read others' answers in this thread.

Did the pumpkin cheesecake come out like pumpkin pie (e.g., same consistency, etc.)?

Hmm... It was pretty dang close to cheesecake consistency, actually. Nice and smooth... but thick like that. I think pumpkin pie is a little less dense or something...
The spices were like a pumpkin pie lite!  (But I like a SPICY pumpkin pie) That can be adjusted easily by tinkering with the amounts of spices. I didn't tinker at all when I made the 2nd one, that's how happy I was with the first go-around.
Since the crust was made with crushed up gingersnaps, it was missing that graham-crackery goodness, which is just fine in this instance.
When we served it the first time, we drizzled a little maple syrup on the plate (like they would in a frous-frous restaurant!). Yum!
It wasn't tangy like a cheesecake can be. It was smooth that way, too.
All in all, a smooooooooth dessert!
NOTE: It's MUCH better the second day. A lot of cheesecakes are, too, and the recipe will say "make a day ahead." That's what I recommend here. (Not that it's not excellent the first day, but YOWZA! It's even better after 24 hours!)

I know how you feel about finding absolutely NOTHING to eat at potlucks and how depressing that can be. I'm usually lucky if I can find a piece of plain meat and bread. People all piling up their plates and looking at mine with THAT LOOK. I never knew what to bring myself for the group as the things I eat are not party foods and non appetizing. Now that I've received Heather's book I can't wait to try some of them and bring not only something I can eat that is tasty but something others will like and maybe even ask me for my IBS safe recipe!  . I just hope I can handle the soy as soy sauce and a few other soy products I've had "get me".

Bev, just for you I will give you the URL to link to so you can spread the wealth, Colin-wise. The problem is, it doesn't seem to be working right when I test it.... Hmmmm.. OK, do this- Copy and paste this search into Google : free animation mexican worm . Click on the 2nd search result (the indented one). There's Colin.

come on ladies and gentlemen! What are YOUR favorite recipes for your families???? WE have so many people out there that use these message boards, I have a hard time believing we don't have "favorites." By the way, bisquick is used in many recipes. It's sold in the "baking section" in your store. Get the reduced fat though. It looks like flour, but in a box, and you can make pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and many meals with it. The box even has recipes, just make them IBS friendly!

I'm going to enjoy these recipes. Since you won't adopt me and cook for me, at least I can try the recipes you recommend!
I'm especially excited about the condensed milk bit.... That's cool and will help with some cooking I may try down the line!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Colin thanks you, too!

Yep, Tanya's right, Bisquick is also called a "buttermilk baking mix"... which is really funny, since it doesn't actually contain any buttermilk and is perfectly safe! As Tanya said, though, it's best to get the reduced fat variety. I hope you can find Bisquick or something like it around you, it's really handy for baking and makes great pancakes!

Kree you are so awesome!!!!! What a great website you created and can not wait to try more of your recipes.
You need to write a book. I have a great idea - I'll adopt you and you can live at my house. You won't have to work and you can finish school and write your book. LOL

Linz, check this out: Bisquick
My mother cooked with this stuff when I was a little girl -- I grew up with it -- and now I cook with it (and have for the past 40 years). You can make incredible pancakes or waffles, but my hubby's fave is their biscuits. You just mix together Bisquick with some soy mlk, roll 'em out and pop 'em in the oven. They're fabulous.
However, Bisquick is used to make all kinds of goodies like "Easy Chicken Pot Pie," "Oven-Baked Chicken" (ooh, I forgot about that recipe -- I'll have to try that again to replace Shake-n-Bake! -- and Impossible Vegetable Pie. You can even make Banana-Nut Bread with it or "Velvet Crumb Cake" -- ooh I could go on forever --
Check it out! If you can't buy it over there, I wonder if you can get it online: web page or Betty Crocker
I subscribe to the Betty Crocker online recipe club, and every week they send me great recipes. While a lot of them aren't IBS-safe, some of them can be converted. Bisquick mix USED to have buttermilk in it -- it used to be called Bisquick BUTTERMILK Baking Mix, but they've removed it from the ingredients; now it's just Bisquick All-Purpose Baking Mix. The ingredients are: "Enriched flour bleached, partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oil, leavening, dextrose and salt. Contains wheat ingredients."
The reduced-fat version is good also, but they've snuck a little sugar in the ingredients -- not a bad thing, just the only difference in the ingredients is sugar. However, they've reduced the fat by half. The regular Bisquick has 6g. of fat, whereas the reduced fat has 3g. To me, that's significant -- and one serving is only 19% fat, well within our acceptable range. Regular Bisquick is 34% fat. Boo Hiss. However, I buy both varieties and mix the two.
You'd think I own stock in the company, eh?

Yeah. Duh. TessLouise's infamous ADBs! Those are my faves -- and hubby's too (although he won't admit it). Oh, and Heather's banana berry smoothie, and Kree's chocolate pudding, of course Kree's oatmeal molasses cookies, Kree's gingerbread muffins, Kree's mac & cheese (oh, I already said that), Mag's lemon chicken, JoanMarie's burgundy chicken with mushrooms, and my bourbon breast of chicken.
Darn, I'm hungry!

My husband loves Heather's cornbread recipe. He just made two loaves for a charity dinner.
My favorite thing to eat is sourdough bread and homemade applesauce...but those aren't really recipes...

I made these last night and they are sooooo good. My husband didn't even wait until they were cool. I turned around washed my hands and sat down. When I looked back into the kitchen, he was cutting a couple of pieces.

Marjo, are you using Internet Explorer? If so, you click on the "Favorites" menu up at the top and go down to the first option, "Add to favorites". It will prompt you to add whatever page you're currently at. Then whenever you want to find that page you go to favorites again and it's listed there! Every other browser is pretty much the same, although it might be some other word than favorites. I hope that helps!

Hey, that sounds good to me! It would be fun to live with some other IBSers! We could have movie nights where instead of popcorn we all snack on rice cakes and Baked Lays! Lol.
Jen, I think it's so hilarious that you want me to adopt you... when you're older than me! I'm flattered.
