deviled eggs, cottage cheese and skinless fruits, Soups that are usually chunky but purreed, greek yogurts, canned chicken or tuna with reduced fat mayo and mustard

I mix can of refried Beans and two cans of chicken, which is softer than regular cooked chicken) and mix it well, then I have meals for several days. I usually microwave have a cup and up with a tablespoon of shredded cheese. I add spices to taste, but nothing too hot. It's my favorite meal. Soooo good. 💕

I liked making a ricotta bake with one small container ricotta cheese mixed with 1-2 eggs and spread in a small baking dish, topped with a jar of marinara (make sure it's not chunky, so put in blender if needed) and a handful of mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350F until the cheese browns. Now that I'm beyond puree stage, I add a bag of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained) to the ricotta mix and layer in chicken Italian sausage that I remove from the casing and cook up in a pan first (placed on top of the ricotta and before the sauce). It gives all the satisfaction of a lasagna or Pasta dish without the added carbs, and pairs well with zucchini spirals.

Ooo @NickelChip this sounds great! I will be trying it very soon.

Pea Soup, re-pureed to a smoother consistency with a dash of parmesan cheese.

I loved putting fat free refried Beans or ricotta cheese into anything I could, but I think I pretty much lived off of cottage cheese. I think I ate it every day, and just stirred in different seasonings (dill with garlic, chili powder, curry powder, rotisserie chicken powder. I even tried dill pickle popcorn seasoning!)

Depending on your program, you might also be able to have certain crackers already -- my team told me saltines or melba toast were good in small doses at this point, eaten slowly and with something wet -- ie. melba toast dipped in hummus.
