Mushies-- Rules before Recipes

Several folks have asked me to post more mushie recipes. I'm cool with that, but let's get the rules straight. This is what my doc allowed, so you know where I'm coming from.

1. All of the foods from the clear liquids and full liquids stages.

2. Baked (not fried) fish, chicken, or turkey. No skins. Cut in very small pieces.

3. Lean ground beef finely crushed

4. Dried bans, peas, and lentils-- well cooked.

5. Canned or well-cooked vegetables

6. LOW carb! 30g total maximum carbs per day. No bread, pasta, potatoes, or rice allowed, ever.

7. Cottage cheese and non-processed cheeses are permitted, as long as daily carb maximum is not exceeded.

8. Salads-- egg salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, or turkey salad must be mixed well. Use low calorie mixes, if you must use commercial products.

9. Scrambled or boiled eggs. No fried eggs.

10. Stop drinking all liquids 10 minutes before meals and wait 30 minutes after meals. Leave your drink in another room so you aren't tempted.

Now look at all those lovely choices. Yum! I can hardly wait to share with you all the recipes.

i realy like you and your blogs. thank you and i will be here waiting Michelle

Thanks Michelle!

Thank you so much for sharing. I am awaiting approval from insurance, but will keep watching for recipes for future use.

I'm happy to help, sfrench1124. I love to cook, and I look on my new life as a bandster as a challenge to my cooking skills.

In fact, I can say that my new life has actually been improved significantly by removing pasta, potatoes and rice from my meal plans. My meals are yummier by far without them!
