It's nice to gather recipes, but there is an entire Forum devoted to food and in it is a recipes thread. Several, actually (for the various food stages).

I love your chicken salad recipe!

I would love to see you guys share your recipes with everyone, though. :confused:

Here's something for the full Fluid stage onwards... Careful, I make mine spicy!

1 tsp oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp cayeene pepper (optional)

1 can lentils or split peas (green, yellow, or red), drained and rinsed

1 large Tomato or cherry tomatoes

2-3 cups broth (chicken, beef or vegetable)

Heat oil and saute onion until soft. Add spices and cook for about a minute. Add lentils and mix. Pour in enough broth to cover lentils. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes.

To puree, use an emersion blender (works best) and blend until really smooth (for your full Fluid stage), or your desired consistency. Add more broth if it is too thick.

This has lots of Protein and fibre. Play with the spices to create different flavours. I like lots of cumin and corriandre so I add more of those.

Enjoy.

Thanks and keep them coming!!

This is an excellent Soup, which can be enjoyed during the full Fluid stage onwards. I made this for a party, and everyone raved about it.

1 large Butternut Squash, peeled and cut into cubes

1 onion, chopped

1/3 cup McCormick Roasted Garlic & Bell Peppers Seasoned Blend

2 cups chicken broth or Vegetable broth (use less salt version)

2 cups Cream (light cream or milk for less calories)

Simmer squash, onion, seasoning and broth for 30 min, or until very tender. Puree with emersion hand blender (works best) or regular blender until smooth texture. Add in cream and blend until mixed. Enjoy!

You can substitute the squash with sweet potato, and works good too.

Creamy Squash Casserole

• 4 cups sliced yellow squash
  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
  
• 35 buttery round crackers, crushed
  
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  
• 2 eggs, beaten
  
• 3/4 cup milk
  
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• ground black pepper to taste
  
• 2 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
   
2. Place squash and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of Water. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and place in a large bowl.
   
3. In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and cheese. Stir half of the cracker mixture into the cooked squash and onions. In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk, then add to squash mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
   
4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

You may want to leave the crumbs off the top. They don't really get that crispy, especially after it sits for a while. One 15 1/2 oz can black Beans, drained and rinsed

Cheesy Black Bean Burgers

1 lb. lean ground beef(90% or higher) or ground turkey breast

1 large egg, beaten

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Preheat grill to medium. Place the Beans in a large bowl and mash with the back of a large spoon until smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the beef, egg, cheese, bread crumbs and garlic powder and mix until well combined. Divide the beef mixture and shape into 8 patties. Place the patties on the grill and cook until no longer pink inside and an instant read thermometer registers at least 160 degrees F., about 4 minutes each side. Top with shredded lettuce and your favorite salso and enjoy!!
