Ok so I know mashed potatoes, retried beans hummus, yogurt, pudding, puréed soups is considered puréed. I start puréed Saturday and I want to go grocery shopping for a few things but I don't know what to buy. What did everyone eat during there puréed stage? Is this all what we could eat my nuts list didn't specify. Thank in advance =)

I got fish on soft foods which for me was the start of the third week.

Here is another recipe when you get to soft foods.

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 large Egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

If you have a blender making your own purées is a snap. It's important to make sure that veggies are cooked through. If you make a soup and blend it make sure to blend the meat separately to void chunks. I'm pre op made but all my own baby food for my kids. I know starches are a no no but a chicken or beef and frozen veg simmered in a broth actually tastes pretty good. My rule was if I wouldn't want to eat neither will my kids so I tried everything I made.
