Well, that's cool, being in NYC. I'm sure there are ups and downs to it, just as any other places. I'd love to visit the city sometime in my lifetime. I live approximately 7mins from the beach. We're surrounded by water here. Don't go as often though.

Dear husband, right? I'm pretty sure but @Apple1 will need to clarify. ?

I woke at 6a.m. to make my morning shakes and take medicine. I am so glad we are improving each day and once we get back on top we all will be fearless. @Newme17 there is a recipe called shelly baked ricotta maybe you could try it once your kitchen is done. After my soft food advancing, im going to try it. On the YouTube video it looked yummy.

Thanks for the reminder. I have it saved on a Pinterest!!! Lol. I caught myself just looking at all the recipes on pinterest yesterday. All I wanted was actual food. Had to get off, I was getting frustrated. Lol

I have seen that recipe and I can't wait to try it. I think week three for me.

There's lasagna cooking downstairs, and let me just say, I can't wait till I can eat ricotta bake! Only 2 more weeks!

I took off my binder last night to try and [mention=308374]Newme17[/mention] there is a recipe called shelly baked ricotta maybe you could try it once your kitchen is done. After my soft food advancing, im going to try it. On the YouTube video it looked yummy.

Good morning @Sweet as peaches. I think we are all doing really well.

It definitely takes some time to learn what works for our new tummies. I can't drink super cold fluids because It feels like a waterfall going down to my stomach. I don't know how else to describe it but I can feel the liquid all the way down and I don't like it.

Just sitting here waiting to board the plane and reflecting a little on how blessed I am . Thank you all for the support and kindness through this journey. Talk to you all later.

?. You know what's also good with ricotta? Just plain unsweetened cocoa powder with a packet of stevia (or sweetener of your choice). It's great for the sweet tooth. I don't have one, but I'd want some chocolate every now and then.
