Another Mushies Questions...

Margo · September 4, 2005

O.K., I am very excited about starting my mushies on Wednesday....went to the grocery store looking for mushie stuff and thinking about pureeing different foods to mushies....

Now, let's just take egg salad...a good high Protein mushie, right? But, can I put it on crackers?

Now let's just take spinach dip.....can I use raw veggies to dip? I bet not, so how do you eat it then? Suggestions...

Now let's take hummus....love it with pita chips, breads, veggies, etc..but, can't do that, right? So what do I put it on?

Any and all suggestions are welcome.....thanks

Refried Beans is also a good mushy food that can be eaten all by itself with lots of melted cheese..Mmmm

Cottage cheese is also a good mushy food and you can add things to it to give it variety, like yogurt, applesauce, cannedpeaches or pinapple they are both soft when canned. As far as spinachdip & hummus you will be so thrilled to eat those things without the crackers or bread, trust me!

My first PB was a Triscuit too Jack OUCH!

Don't forget my old standby,Eggdrop Soup. I make my own with low sodium chicken broth some garlic powder and when it comes to a simmer slowly stir in a beaten egg or two. Refried Beans with cheese and sour cream. tuna salad and scrambled eggs are goodies also. I used to eat hummus with a toddler spoon. Try things out you can become very inventive when you have a food processor just remember to CHEW CHEW CHEW

Thanks everyone....I did try a Wheat Thin (reduced fat style) today and chew, chew, chew....no problem! But, I am not going to "test" it anymore especially since I didn't have a problem with them....you see, I could eat the whole box right about now!!! So, no more...

And la madam, you are so right.....I can't wait to eat spinach dip and hummus...who needs crackers and bread!!!

Thanks again...

Ahhhhhhhhhh.... I got a bit creative with mushies. Not to mention the fact, I wasn't even supposed to be doing them. I won't tell you what it is because I don't want to put any ideas in your head. (hint: involved a black and white cookie and milk soaking, oh dear me!!)

But other mushy suggestions are: mashed potatoes and gravy, eggs, tuna in VERY small bites, cottage cheese, sweet potatoes, baby stage 3 foods, applesauce, soft tofu, blended peas/greenbeans, baked Beans, Soups, Peanut Butter, puddings
