Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted July 4, 2018 Congrats on your surgery and glad that you're over it! I found purees difficult as well. Forcing foods to be purees that really aren't meant to be was gross. However, I did great with foods that are meant to be purees. Applesauce, smoothies, Soups like butternut squash or Tomato, etc. There are some really good "smooth" soups in grocery stores now. I like Pacific brand. Just last week I picked up "Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato" and "Cashew Carrot Ginger" soups. They come in 32 oz. cartons, so you get quite a few 4 oz. servings! Add some Protein Powder to any of those and you have a reasonable puree meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, their "Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato", is just a private label of Pacific. So the same Soup for less money. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your support Closest one is 21 miles from my house. What else is good there that would make it worth the trip? 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I don't know if there is anything there worth driving 21 miles for. I buy, the above mentioned Soup, boxed lentil soup, chicken and beef broth, ff greek yogurt, canned chicken (when I was in the soft food stage), various Condiments like whole grain mustard, fish sauce, olive oil, vinegars, hot sauces, marinara sauce (good and super low cal), turkey meatballs, lunch meat, various cheeses (so good!), various "burgers", like mahi , lime chili chicken and masala, soy ginger cod, Kettle Cooked Chicken Soup (refrigerated section), produce like romaine lettuce, cucumbers, shredded cabbage, zucchini, nuts (like flavored pistachios), cheap but decent wine (for guest I like, not love, lol), spiralized carrots (frozen), frozen gyoza (when I get an asian craving), Green Goddess Salad Dressing (refrigerated), chicken sausage. I'm sure tons of other stuff I can't think of right now. They are actually really good at less healthy food too, for your family. Their Mandarin Orange Chicken is better than any restaurant I've tried, for instance. In general their products are very high quality for a very good price, while having a lot of interesting and ethnic options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted July 4, 2018 @sillykitty In Texas, everything is 20 miles away, silly! Thanks for the listing of goodies, I'll check them out the next time I'm on that side of town. I'm already thinking that I could probably eat a meat ball if I covered it in enough marinara to make a Soup out of it Last night my "boys" made pulled pork for dinner. I got brave and tasted a teeny piece, maybe 1/10th of an oz. It was good but I wasn't brave enough to try any more. Just not worth the misery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try to go at an off peak time, when you have sometime to browse. TJ's are notorious for having undersized parking lots and getting uncomfortably crowded. My mom thought she hated TJ's for years, until she retired and could shop in peace! 1 1 Orchids&Dragons and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
