I've been on pureed for almost 2 weeks.

I guess its what your stomach can handle but ice tried chicken with BBQ Sauce and a pinch of mozzarella cheese that melts on top.

Ive also tried chicken with mushrooms chopped up small, diced onions and a small amount of frozen spinach. Cook the vegs Sep on stove and then puree the ck after its cooked...

Refried Beans are on my list too.

Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes that you can thin out with a little milk. You can also add non flavored Protein Powder to them if you are low on Protein. You can also cook cauliflower and puree them. Put it in a small bowl or ramikin, cover with a little Pasta Sauce (if you can tolerate) and then either shredded cheese or ricotta and nuke it so the cheese melts. Of course you can make variations of this but ths was really good and it added Fiber which I was missing Refried Beans are on my list too but I have to thin them out with Water or the air gets trapped and can't get through. Weird. eggs. I recently started pureeing whatever protein and veggies my family was having and it's working out pretty good so far. It's easier than always making 2 dinners. Especially with the amount of what you eat, it takes longer to make the 2nd meal than it does to eat it LOL. Also they have been great about eating Soup and grilled cheese while I eat soup - thank goodness it's been chilly lately. I found that if I puree breast meat chicken, I have to add a little broth or water to it to help it along. Dark meat not so much. The moisture helps it go down easier without wanting to come back up or sit in my chest. Same when I puree beef. So far I've only pureed a roast I made in the slow cooker and hamburger meat. I didn't have a problem with either as long as there was moisture. If it's really dry, it hurst me. Tonight my husband is making meatloaf so we will see how that works...if it doesn't, I always have beans in the pantry
