Before surgery, my favorite thing to eat was chinese. I am 4 weeks out and back to eating normal foods this week - no more mushies!!!!

My problem is.....I really want Chinese. Anyone eat it? What do you have? I am not a huge fan of the Soups.

Hmmmmm.......help!

I really love Trader Joe’s Kung Pao Cauliflower. That might be the first thing I eat when I can have solids again.

Lettuce wraps. I make my own with tofu, ground chicken and ground pork. Usually bamboo shoots and Water chestnuts, but I'll definitely be leaving those out now. I will also be skipping the "lettuce wrap" part, and just eating the filling.

Tofu doesn't have a lot of flavor on its own. It tends to take on whatever flavor you marinate it in. Soy sauce is a great marinade. You can also get soy/tofu noodles at lots of markets. Make your own stir fry with chicken (or meat of choice).

Why can’t you use bamboo shoots or watered chestnuts?

I made my own cauliflower fried rice from a recipe I saw on Pinterest. I added shrimp to give it some protein. It does call for 4 cups of “rice” so I’ll be eating this for the next week lol

lettuce wraps, stir fry.
