Thank you sooo muchhhh girl !

I can't wait to try this one. I'm gonna make a couple of these individual casseroles next week. 1 will be about 2 servings.

I'm going to bake them, then blend until a puree, then top with crunch onions cuz they will turn to mush with chewing 20-30 times.

It's the classic Thanksgiving green bean casserole with canned chicken added to it! Score 1 for comfort, baby!

Serves 2

Here's some ideas, but you may want to skip the breast milk (): https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/browse/recipes/s_baby+food/

haha thanks very much . Yesss no breast milk for me !!!!!

Chili blended, white bean n chicken chili, homemade cream soups with chicken ( - I still cannot tolerate chicken breast - have to use thighs.) Vegetable soup (no pasta/rice) blended with chicken. Split pea soup blended, etc.

Congrats!! Good luck!

I'm on purée now and one of my favorite things right now is one scrambled egg white with two tablespoons of ricotta cheese, i put the ricotta on the skillet first so it melts a little bit and then pour the egg white over it and scramble it until it's cooked but still mush -- can do the same with a full egg i would assume, i just can't use yolks

Also, i make chicken broth and take out the chicken, purée the chicken with some geek yogurt and a tiny bit of fat free mayo--- can do the same with tuna or eggs for an egg salad

Other then that, yogurt, mozzarella sticks, cottage cheese

I've had no issue with cheese, I just chew it really well

I'm in puree stage as well (ugh) and my two favorite things so far have been 1) frozen meatballs pureed with marinara sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan and 2) sugar-free instant pudding. I include a scoop of unflavored protein powder in both (I use Isopure) to boost the protein content, and it's not noticeable at all in either one -- blend it with the sauce, and stir it in with the pudding powder before adding the milk.

Actually no it didn't. It sat well in my stomach and more protein.

Started purée today and made the ricotta bake, oh what cheesy goodness I have missed! It really does taste great. I had told my wife that I was afraid I would not know when I was full, well let me tell you 20 min and 2 ounces feels like after thanksgiving or Christmas dinner right about now.
