I've turned many soups into summer dishes by just simmering off some of the liquid or using less liquid to begin with, and then piling on top of lettuce. And if he can add some water to heat it up, then voila, it becomes soup again. <br />I just sent my hubby to work with mushy lime beans, sautéd veggies, cheese, greeens, and some yogurt (in lieu of sour cream.)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434700856868773481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464977109229359349.post-90020231626192920522010-10-03T16:52:26.181-04:002010-10-03T16:52:26.181-04:00Hm, for portable snacks, maybe raisins bought in b...Hm, for portable snacks, maybe raisins bought in bulk, or carrots (or other veggies and fruit) and dip?Heatherhttp://hungryheather.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464977109229359349.post-20692736385401357012010-10-03T14:24:32.102-04:002010-10-03T14:24:32.102-04:00We're quitting all grains for the present, and...We're quitting all grains for the present, and will try re-introducing gluten-free grains later, since we're not sure what the problem is.<br /><br />Yes, thank goodness we don't have to worry about dairy.

It probably wouldn't work for everyone -- only those for whom IBS is a sign of grain sensitivity -- but it's certainly worth a shot!
