Not sure if I can do 'pur?ed foods'

[EL Diva 1]

I'm in the mushie/puree stage as well. One thing I've been loving.. is the vegetarian (low fat) refried Beans mixed in some salsa, a little shredded cheese then bake in the oven. I take greek yogurt (plain) add in the powder mix of ranch to make a lil sour cream ranch taste and top off the Beans. LOVE IT!

I was so tired of the liquid phase, not because of the foods but I was tired of just 'drinking' everything

Hi bwhitty,

That recipe sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it!

Thanks for replying!

Cheers

Thanks! I've had tofu once or twice before but have never cooked with it. This will be a perfect time to try it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Yay! You'll have to let me know how it goes. It's great because you can get softer tofu and mush it up into things (like chili or even veggie burgers) and it will add Protein but you won't know it's there or you can get firmer tofu and cook it in Soups or bake it and pan sear it (or really cook it the same way you'd cook a piece of meat...same marinades and everything). Good luck!

Yum!! I totally forgot about mentioning tofu (thanks isaviolinist!) I agree that it's GREAT... because it has no real flavor on its own, you can do almost anything with it -- and it's CHEAP!

I swear, if I don't start getting better with poultry getting stuck on me soon, I'm going to give up and go veggie, though I doubt I can get the rest of my family to follow suit. I do tofu a couple of times a week, but I think my spouse might mutiny if I try to sub any more family meals with it. heheheh
