Recipe Ideas, soft foods and smoothies

[Guest guest]

Hey team, I am almost three weeks post op and I've

been getting very creative in the kitchen, trying to

think of different things to eat. I thought I'd share

some of my ideas with you. Keep in mind, I wasn't

wired shut so I am able to spoon things in around the

second week or so.

This is really good, tastes like apple pie with ice

cream = cinnamon apple sauce (Motts is my favorite) &

fat free vanilla frozen yogurt (Green's fat free

frozen yogurt is so good - tastes like regular ice

cream!) - put the apple sauce on top of the yogurt/ice

cream in a bowl and enjoy, so good!

= orange juice breakfast smoothie = three or four

scoops of the Green's vanilla fat free frozen yogurt,

orange juice, 1 banana, ice - blend and enjoy!

= oreo smoothie - vanilla yogurt, ice, milk, Oreos, Uh

- Oreo heaven!

= bean burrito - without the burrito, take some

refried beans, mix it with water to make it less

thick, melt cheddar cheese on it, and then add sour

cream and salsa - Mexican night!

= Fully Dressed Spud = make instant potatoes, melt on

it cheddar cheese, and dress it with whatever you want

- chives, bacon bits, sour cream, chilli - sky's the

limit, and its really good.

= Turkey Stuffing - make the classic stove top

stuffing and drizzle on it your authentic gravy or the

kind from the store, both good, and there you go - its

Thanksgiving! Might have to water down the stuffing

depending on how thick you can handle it.

Surprisingly, still really good even when watered

down.

If you want to eat something sinful and so good - try

this = vanilla yogurt (3 scoops), cream cheese

frosting (1 tablespoon), peanut butter (1 tablespoon),

mix all three and enjoy. This is seriously like

crack, so good you'll keep wanting more! :-)

I've found that eating with a fork is easier because

its flat and I can just use my tougnue to scoop up the

food. The spoon is harder for me because of its curve.

I even eat yogurt with a fork, its weird, but it

works!

Peace out - Tania
