I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis last summer and while I was encouraged to go on low fodmap (mostly because I was in a serious flare) I ended up not. The food options look excellent though. Even as a temporary thing until you can wrap your mind around it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-fodmap-diet#post-2894861 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 14:46:44 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2894861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: when I was on it I found that not EVERYTHING son the list actually affected me and my GI doc said it was just trial and error to some extent. It's not as convenient but try and keep it simple foods for everyone to start and you will get by!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-fodmap-diet#post-2894860 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 14:40:38 +0000 maddyz 2894860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So DH needs to be on a low fodmap diet. We eat pretty balanced almost all home cooked meals and he has been gluten free for 6 months now and that was an easy transition for all of us. </p> <p>I am struggling to figure out how to support his dietary needs while also feeding the kids. Some of this is because the list of low fodmap foods is complicated and not obvious and its all new. </p> <p>I would love tips from others about low fodmap diets and also managing restricted diets in general. </p> <p>❤ I might just need a pep talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2539105 Mon, 02 May 2016 15:24:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2539105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>spaghetti with meat sauce, spinach salad<br /> crock pot: pot roast, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots<br /> TH: out with friends for her birthday so the boys will probably get burritos<br /> shrimp pesto tortellini with roasted asparagus<br /> waffles for dinner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2538962 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:19:00 +0000 Pumuckl 2538962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Su: Pasta with tuna tomato sauce<br /> Mo: White asparagus with sliced ham and potatoes<br /> Tu: Shepherd's Pie<br /> We: Frankfurter green sauce with potatoes<br /> Th: Out because of my mom's birthday<br /> Fr: BBQ at my parents'<br /> Sa: kids stay with my parents, so a mixed salad with lettuce, ham, cheese and whatever we feel like for us.<br /> Su: homemade gf pizza </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2538898 Mon, 02 May 2016 12:32:56 +0000 gingerbebe 2538898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: it's like slightly mushy rice in a light creamy chickeny gravy/sauce with veggies. It's like if you cooked off all the broth in chicken and rice soup and were left with the soggy afters but creamier? I would use medium to long grain rice, or just use Minute Rice. Sticky rice would turn out too sticky I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2538832 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:45:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2538832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mon: skinny tuna noodle casserole<br /> Tue: BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches with veggies<br /> Wed: homemade pizza (going to Wild Wednesday at the zoo)<br /> Thurs: grilled hamburger/turkey burger<br /> Fri: honey garlic porkchops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2538830 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:40:09 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2538830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: thanks. How does it taste? I know its an american classic, but I've actually never had it. Do you use sticky rice, or white long grain rice? I think I'll give this a try since it seems like it will be pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2538793 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:05:00 +0000 jhd 2538793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: thanks for the recipe! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2538783 Mon, 02 May 2016 10:59:24 +0000 brownepiano 2538783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: it's from here <a href="http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/blogs/lisas-kitchen/2011/04/21/corn-dog-casserole/" rel="nofollow">http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/blogs/lisas-kitchen/2011/04/21/corn-dog-casserole/</a></p> <p>Full disclosure my two year old hates it but I have no idea why!

Last week there were two days I cooked chicken for him while we ate steak, and he was really upset as I was eating a different thing. So I'll make sure he will eat the exact same thing as we do from now on.

I make it "healthier" by making my own "cream of soup" base, but you can totally just use the canned stuff. Also, I don't know why but this HAS to have the canned mixed vegetables - the mushy veggies just make it. Also a bonus is that my toddler gobbles it up! </p> <p>2 cups cooked rice<br /> 1.5 cups chopped cooked chicken (I use Costco rotisserie chicken meat)<br /> 1 can (10 3/4 ounce) Cream of Chicken Soup<br /> 1 can (10 3/4 ounce) Cream of Celery or Mushroom Soup<br /> 1 can of mixed vegetables </p> <p>**Broccoli cheese variation - replace mixed veggies with 2 cups of chopped frozen broccoli and add 1 cup of shredded cheddar.</p> <p>Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Mix everything together and pour into a 9x13 pan that is well-greased or sprayed with Pam. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. </p> <p>Homemade Cream of Soup Base: (makes 2 can's worth)</p> <p>4 tablespoons butter<br /> 6 tablespoons flour<br /> 1.5 cups chicken broth<br /> 1 cup milk<br /> 1/2 teaspoon salt<br /> 1/4 teaspoon black pepper<br /> 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning or thyme or dried herbs<br /> 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br /> 1/2 teaspoon onion powder</p> <p>Directions: Melt butter in pan, add flour and whisk until combined and the roux turns blonde/golden. Add the liquids and seasonings and whisk together and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until thickened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2537939 Sun, 01 May 2016 00:24:53 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2537939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: can you share the creamy chicken and rice casserole recipe?
