I am starting the puréed stage today. I read other suggestions but I need some clarification please.

If u make the eggplant parm do u purée the eggplant before u cook it or when it's done just purée a serving size?

I wasn't given any recipes from my NUT just a list of foods we could eat.

I need some help getting creative please. I saw the egg face recommendation and that was really great.

Anyone else have suggestions or recipes? We should make a book together.

I made a ricotta bake just google it and you will see the recipes

Chicken tortilla soup from Chili's will blow your mind.

I've been liking the tuna or salmon pouches (about 2.5 oz) mixed with hummus, a little mustard, and a splash of jalapeño juice. It makes it moist and really soft.

My favorite thing was to take ricotta, garlic powder, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella cheese and microwave it. Yum!

Just be careful on the ricotta bake - if the mozzarella gets too crusty and chewy - it can be an issue (well it was for me and a few others) for puree stage but is dang tasty for soft phase

When I was on the puréed stage, I puréed anything my family was eating but my favorite was meat loaf and mashed potatoes.

The eggplant I would purée it after cooking.

I'll see if I can find more

One of the recipes provided by my practice is a no-tortilla burrito: refried beans, taco sauce/smooth salsa and low-fat cheese microwaved and then topped with a teaspoon of sour cream.

Some good tips here. Will be pureed in 10 days.

Tuna salad, egg salad, turkey chili, cauliflower soup made from a bean base, roasted beets puréed w/ tilapia, salmon, refried Beans w sour cream were my go to options

Be careful of the seeds in the eggplant. Today is my 1st day of pureed and my notes say no nuts or seeds.

One of my favorites was taking about a 1/4 cup black refried beans and adding some of the brine (juice) from jarred mild jalapeños. Put in a small oven proof dish and sprinkle a bit of your favorite cheese on top ( I like co-jack). Bake at 350 until cheese is melted. I would add a small amount of lite sour cream or very ripe avocado.... YUMMY! Still to this day I love this (5 months out).
