I had Greek yogurt, cream of wheat made with milk, cottage cheese, really mushy egg salad, refried Beans, and egg face's ricotta bake. Just take it slow, tiny bites!

I had mashed sweet potato, baked ricotta, cream of wheat, a little watery oatmeal, Protein Shakes, Soups that had chunks that I put in the blender. I am on soft foods for 3 more weeks (just about done with week 1 of soft foods). Today I had egg beaters and didn't have any issues.

I made homemade stews and chili's. I also had the yogurts, tuna and canned chicken with some low fat cream cheese or mayo (heated). My fav was meatloaf and gravy !!!

Meatballs with marinara and meatloaf with gravy were favs! However I made homemade chili and stew that were tasty also

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 large Egg, beaten

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup Marinara Sauce

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

this saved me in the early days!!! it is as good as it sounds

This may sound like an absolutely stupid question but is is considered puréed after its cooked or do you purée it?

Honestly ricotta is so soft you will bet its a mush out of the pan. If very worried you can purée it but I don't think it's necessary!!

I also made homemade stew and chili. I did canned chicken or tuna with greek yogurt. I ate blended up Soups, hummus, yogurt, ricotta cheese.< /p>
