I see refried beans come up in a lot of posts about good foods to eat. Are we talking the yellow can of refried beans found in the Mexican food aisle at the store alongside the tacos?

Yes, make sure they are the fat free kind. I am able to split one can into five meals with each one being a little over 1/4 cup.

Interesting!!! Every time I see that written out I'm like "the taco kind?" LOL!

Try making your own from dried beans, too!

And if you weren't a newbie I would tease you and ask what are they refraining from? lol

[doesn't stop me!] I was wondering if we should refrain from eating beans!

LOL! I had to give her a hard time because I would so do that, too!

I thin mine out and eat them like a Soup with a little cheese on top. If you are just starting the soft foods...it will be easier to go down.

I have an amazing recipe for chipotle that you can use during the pureed food stage. Hit me up if you are interested. I also have other pureed recipes on my blog like an alfredo sauce. Check it out if you are interested!

I am on the app and can't really see your profile? Where is your blog link? Thanks

I'm LOL too.

Dole makes a Soup that comes in a carton (no can) as part of their Garden Soup collection called "Southwestern Black Bean and Corn".

Low Cal, Low Carb, Non Fat, and really tasty. It's a little on the thick side for those of us still a few days away from pureed food, so I actually thinned it with a little lime juice and hot Water. I had about 1/3 C. last night as my dinner. It went down fine and was very satisfying..... Only thing.......GOT GAS!!

Sounds yummy!!!
