Puréed recipes

[Goody222 139]

I am looking for a few simple puréed recipes. I just made the Shelly’s Ricotta bake and found a puréed chicken salad. I think I will probably be okay with eggs ricotta cheese and the two recipes. However, it is always nice to have options. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am attaching the recipes I previously discussed.

Good! I've lost 30 lbs with my 1 week pre-op diet. I'm on puree and life is so much better. My family had steak sandwhichs and I had just some of the meat and vegetables. I chewed and chewed instead of blending. It stayed down. Woo hoo! Measuring 1/2 cup of food.

Go Gaby! That is truly impressive. I go for my two week follow up on Wednesday! We shall see (fingers crossed)

I'm making green tacos tomorrow. My son-in-law is Mexican, so they eat a lot of the food. Not sure if you like green sauce? It's made with chicken.

Also, chili is a good high Protein choice and it blends good.

Hmmm, I am not sure, what is in a green sauce?

You boil like 2lbs of chicken, shred it. In a few pan you saute some onions and a brick of cream cheese and half a can of the green sauce. It will all melt up, then you add shredded chicken. Season. We roll up in tacos and put cojita cheese on top and bake. The recipe may be on the back of the can. We've been making it for a number of years. I will only blend some of the filing. It's very creamy. You can use lowfat cream cheese.

Thanks, I think I will try it.

You are still eating very little. So have a little fun for a meal or two.

1. Protein powder
2. Any microwave meal you like

Blend it.
