HeatherinCA 10 Posted January 9, 2011 Hmmmmm.....I wonder if you can blend a taco?!! ....my daughter lives with me and she does a lot of her cooking anyway....now I'll be able to get one pk chop, chicken whatever and she can have rest! One day I'll try my recipe for crab cakes. But, I still get to clean up! lol You could blend a taco I think with extra salsa, I've been having some ground turkey, with salsa and melt a little cheese on top, does the same effect for me, sometimes I'll crack some shells in it. (or I do ground turkey with marinara and mozzarella) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imagine923 4 Posted January 9, 2011 I've only tried ground turkey once and it wasn't very tasty. What brand do you prefer? Do you think that ground sirloin like a 90/10 would be just as healthy as the turkey?

ChopswyfT 1 Posted January 9, 2011 Imagine 923...Egg Foo Yong is a fast food chinese dish made is scrambled eggs, onion, grn peppers and meat...like shrimp , pork or beef. They have there own special seasonings. It's usually served over rice and smothered in gravy. They take the eggs and make them into a pattie. I read that it's okay to eat just the patties. From what I can remember as a child , it was reaallll good! I love to try and copy cat Chinese dishes, just recently mastered Crab Rangoon (prior to surgery) .l am going to see if I can find a recipe for Egg Foo Yong, that way I can avoid the extra sodium from the fast food joints.

Southern Leo 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I get my ground turkey from WD or Publix. My Dad used to fry it and put pepper on it ...made it taste like sausage!! WD has some good turkey burgers(Jennie-O brand) We liked having those and dressing up with Tomato and lettuce, cheese ect. We get 93/7 fatfree ground beef. I've only tried ground turkey once and it wasn't very tasty. What brand do you prefer? Do you think that ground sirloin like a 90/10 would be just as healthy as the turkey?

Southern Leo 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I like to copy foods too. I have made a beef broccoli dish that came close to what we got at chinese place, I would love to try the rangoons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChopswyfT 1 Posted January 9, 2011 Are cheese sticks considered soft/mushie? I found a great recipe on Spark People made with low fat cheese sticks, italian seasonings and panko . That may be the first thing I choose to cook this week . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chasnlucky 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I liked hummus, egg drop Soup, yogurt, and Lipton noodle Soup. I make chilli almost weekly. I cook alot of my meats in the crockpot it makes them moist and tender which you will soon learn is the only way to get it down. I never blended anything, the thought of it turned my stomach. What are you using your hummus on? I usually use baby carrots and of course, they aren't on the mushy or soft food diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodbyefatty 2 Posted January 10, 2011 What are you using your hummus on? I usually use baby carrots and of course, they aren't on the mushy or soft food diet. Well, I like fat free pretzels or saltines. I also like baby carrot sticks, sliced squash, zucchini. Sometimes I mix lit up with horsradish mustard and dip my sliced turkey! Yummy!

CheckYes 46 Posted January 10, 2011 May I suggest that now is the time to make really healthy choices? If you realize you can eat a purée taco or chili dog, it might become a more frequent part of your diet - that will be really rough before you get restriction. It is just my suggestion and if you can eat a chili dog and not want another one the next day then just ignore me! I am staying far away from foods that I crave because I want to try to stop that craving cycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodbyefatty 2 Posted January 10, 2011 For your taco craving, try taco Soup. Very easy, brown your meat, add taco seasoning, can of cannilli (white) Beans, kidney beans, and a can of black beans, can of corn, can of rotel, green chilis (if you like it hot), and chicken or beef broth.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newlifekp 0 Posted January 10, 2011 I have also been eating a few crackers with dip of some sort. I am worried about eating the crackers, but I had to have some texture a little bit! I drink a sip of Water after a few well-chewed and mushed crackers, just to make sure they are liquid-y. Not enough water to wash it down, just soften it up (hopefully). I am 14 days out today!
