Comfort food when sick

[newbeginnings1965 48]

Before the surgery there were certain foods i would eat when i did not feel well, usually toast, mashed potatoes, rice, etc. Although i can eat these, i do not want to stall my weight loss. Has anyone found healthy alternatives?

if you like mashed potatoes I found a descent substitute is mashed cauliflower (with some lite laughing cow cheese)

Sounds good

Dice or grind it to a "rice" size or even finer.....add some Water and into the microwave. Good, good stuff.

I plan on buying one the vegetable spiralizers as soon as I can figure out which one to get. Microwave steamed with some stewed tomatoes over them for sauce and some Italian seasoning and it's sounding like a meal.

I'm sure I'll discover many new ways to cook eggs, too.

I break up the cauliflower into small pieces, toss it with a touch of olive oil and salt and roast it until its tender. Then It goes into a blender with a splash of either Water or broth and the cheese

I made a "muffin" with eggs. I beat some eggs with some diced bell peppers (and a splash of hot sauce) and poured it into some non stick muffin tins and baked it until it was set

How about a cup of warm chicken Bouillon. It is like having wonderful chicken Soup but only has 10 calories. I use Knorr brand and it is yummy.

I also sometimes buy some cup o noodles. I like the spicy ones. I add the hot Water and let it sit then scoop out most of the noodles. The broth is yummy, though high in sodium

I like black rice. It actually has a decent amount of Protein in it. I make a stir fry with it. I also like baked or roasted sweet potatoes.
