I'm second week as well and on Purred foods, I'm making "shelly's baked ricotta" here is the recipe! Happy holidays!!

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

Mmmm @@kymmiej11 That sounds great! And I already have all the ingredients ! I'll have to make that! I'm thinking if I were to make it and the serve it with pita triangles at Christmas it would be a great appetizer. And then I could just eat it without the bread and not look too out of place. Perfect Thanks!

Can we eat cheese on the puree diet part? This sounds delicious!

[Mary-from-Oz 6]

Yum!! Thanks sounds delish ????????

[AJP1243 46]

Found these too. Would these be ok I will ask my dr but didn't know if anyone else tries things like these. Maybe make them a little bit healthier?

[kymmiej11 55]

It's a very small amount of cheese.. You'll have tiny bits, chew them thoroughly and you should be fine, I just made one tonight and it was great and I feel great!! So good to have another option besides Soup and such! But if your concerned pls ask your doctor first! Enjoy!!

[AJP1243 46]

Ok thank you! I will ask but I'm sad to have too. I love cheese. haha

Christmas day is my last day on purees, of course - if I'd just been a day earlier! . But I've never been one to go overboard and gain a lot on the holiday (I went overboard all year long, lol). I'll probably stick to my new normal Breakfast and lunch, then have a little of the traditional stuff for dinner (puree some turkey, have a spoonful of mashed potatoes, maybe a deviled egg and call it a day). Then Friday, back to my regularly scheduled programming!
