Okay I'm going into puréed food phase and wanted to know if anyone has any good ideas of something to eat that tastes good, something other than blended soup?

Anything can be pureed. Tuna with pickle juice and a little low fat mayo. Lean Hamburger with tomato sauce. Anything at all that you can blend into a mush.

Thanks I wondered how you would purée tuna cause it is so dry but the pickle juice will eliminate that thanks.

I'm a huge fan of puréed cauliflower. I don't go into the purée phase for over a week but that is the one thing I am craving! I just over steam it, then blend in some salt and a sprinkle of extra sharp cheddar cheese (tastes good without too).

Yes thank you

I just started purée today and I can have fat-free refried beans with a pinch of cheese. :-)

Will you add Protein to your veggies? I bought an unflavored protein to add to meals, but I can taste it. :-(

I got the same info as you. No tuna. No beans etc until soft food phase.

I'm in TX and my doc ha them listed on the 3 week list of protien.

For me, soft foods start around week three, but they told us to take it slow. Better to ease into each phase than to rush a phase.

I am on puree right now and today I cook some ground beef and added some tomatoe sauce, I really liked it. Also I made chicken broth and blended the chicken with it's own broth. Refried beens are great too!

I also bought soome baby food lol

Did you just put the meat and sauce in a blender?

First I cook the ground beef and while still cooking it, I added the sauce. Then I put it in the blender. It tasted kind of like meatballs just without the spaghetti lol. I just used a little bit of salt and that was it.

Boiled egg with light mayo puree to be like deviled egg. Hormel complete meals with no bread or pasta purée nicely, I also brought Ruth's chicken and tuna salads they are already in a puréed state in the tub from store. Refried beans and chili are good. Also frozen meatballs unthawed and purée topped with Alfredo, tomato sauce or whatever you like. I like the meatballs because it is easier than browning ponds of beef at a time if rest of the family is having something else. Most meals the family has could be purée but is it healthy? And how will it appear purée is the catch!

Meatballs are a good idea. Thanks! I start that in a week and am trying to collect ideas.
