My parents are visiting up from North Carolina and of course today is Mother's Day and we are taking her to her favorite restaurant... Chinese Buffet. Of course, it is my favorite too!! Not quite one week post surgery and I am thinking some egg drop Soup is about all I will be able to eat unless someone can give me more ideas???

Sadly, soup is probably all you can have right now. Or some hot tea. Even if you're in the pureed food stage, I can't think of anything that would fit that food stage that you could find on a Chinese restaurant menu.

^{Yum that sounds good.....I can't wait until I can start the mushy phase. I'm on full liquids through Wednesday. Doc requires 10 days. I'm dying to try that noodleless lasagna that I've been reading about lol..}

Noodleless lasagna???? Missed that one. Where? Lol

I read this recipe and it sounded really good. I can't find the original one (the one that you bake in the oven) but here's this one.

No-Noodle Lasagna

This recipe is suitable for the pureed food stage.

Ingredients:

Low fat ricotta cheese

Spaghetti sauce (look for sugar free sauce)

Grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Put two tablespoons of ricotta cheese in a bowl. Top with one tablespoon of spaghetti sauce and one tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese. Microwave for three minutes.

Variation: One you progress to the soft stage, you can add cooked ground beef to the lasagna if you like.
