A few different recipes. My favorite turned out to be baked butternut squash. I puréed it with a little garlic and some low fat Greek cream cheese. I also puréed some asparagus, then ground turkey that I mixed with low sugar marinara sauce and low fat ricotta. I put a bag of pinto Beans in the crockpot to make my own refried beans. I enjoy cooking but I used to do it with a bottle of wine.

That sounds really good. Will try this when time for puréed food.

Thank you. I made everything a little on the bland side because I wasn't sure. I cut and scooped out the seeds of the squash, rubbed a little olive oil on it. Baked for 40 minutes at 400 degrees. After it cooled I scooped out the insides added it to the food processor with 2 cloves of garlic and 2 tablespoons of Greek cream cheese. Whipped it all up. The turkey meat dish I made from the dr's office recipes. Just brown some lean ground turkey, drain the fat and place in the food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of low sugar marinara sauce. Purée it ( if you are in that phase). I put 1/4 of a cup in small containers and added a tablespoon of low fat ricotta cheese and 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese. Then when I reheated I just mixed it all up. Not exactly lasagna but better than broth [emoji847]

That's such a great idea and they both sound good! I have food envy!
