suggestions

[michelev97 27]

I'm looking for suggestions as I transition from pureed to soft foods. I found out eggs are not my friend. I tried them for the second time. Help

I never really had a "soft" stage...after my purees I just made sure my meats were moist and tender and used gravy if I needed to. How about meatballs? Meatloaf? Refried Beans with some cheddar and light sour cream?

Husband and I are sticking with basics awhile and enjoying it. No worries with cooking and planning. Have cottage cheese, refried Beans, FF Soups, etc. on hand. No breads, Cookies or temptations here. I snack on a couple well chewed freeze dried Edamame which I love. I did make some steamed cabbage this week to get some veggies in. Every recipe calls for so much and we don't eat the leftovers so much. I made a delicious crockpot chicken with FF mushroom Soup 5 weeks out, but it was so good I didnt chew so well or swallowed too fast. Decided I would wait on experimenting with recipes. I am loving chili and warm foods, so exception is to make chili lowfat with Beans and enjoy!

We are still having a shake 1 meal a day.

I am on soft foods now. I eat mostly:

cottage cheese

ground beef with Tomato sauce

mashed moussaka (greek dish of mashed potato, eggplant and ground beef)

greek yogurt

Soups (I make and blend them, i.e. kale, potato, chicken soup)

Protein shakes

canned tuna in Water with mayo

meatball

Labneh (sour cheese - delish and only 30 cal for 2 tbsps)

some hummus (not much because of the carbs content)

Have you also tried mini meatloaves in a muffin pan? Or small egg/cheese/turkey sausage type things baked in muffin pans like mini Quiche? You might tolerate eggs another way.

Mmm... I think I need to make mini BBQ meatloaf's. I made a LC BBQ Sauce I wrote about HERE that was tasty, it would be perfect for meatloaf. Also, if you have an Acme (or Albertson's or the like) shady brooks 93% lean ground turkey is on sale 2.99 for 20oz or 2.49 each when you buy 6.

They also have green giant boxed veggies on sale .88 each too. Cook them the longer of the suggested cooking times and they are soft. I've had the spinach with butter sauce, brussel sprouts, broccoli w. cheese, and cauliflower w. cheese. I'm hungry now...lol.
