Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi All, I have spacers in my teeth in preparation for getting braces on my teeth(yes, braces at 30) in a couple of days. I am not able to eat anything the least bit hard or chewy and probably won't be able to for the better part of a week. Does anyone have any ideas for Phase 1 food? I have been living on very bland soup, ricotta, and yogurt and am about to climb the wall, LOL! Thanks in advance, -Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 RE: soft food for Phase 1? Well, I can " chew " a boiled egg, but even shredded chicken is just too much chewing. My poor mouth is just begging to seek solace in some mashed potatoes! I have been eating yogurt, but it doesn't " feel " like real food. Thanks for the ideas, I really appreciate them! -Katy Oh..since you said mashed potatoes..why not try *faux* potatoes? Made from steamed, mashed cauliflower, it tastes a LOT like mashed potatoes but with a very low carb count. Only make as much as you will eat in a day or so. Being that cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, when it sits more than, oh, 6 hours or so the flavor changes and it no longer tastes like mashed potatoes. *just my personal experience on that one!* Instead of making a whole head of cauliflower, do ¼ of a head to try the recipe or ½ a head. Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes Cauliflower mashed potatoes taste like mashed potatoes but without the carbs! Mashed cauliflower is a bit more lumpy than potatoes but can still taste creamy with the added butter and cream. Ingredients 1 head cauliflower 2 tablespoons butter (or more to taste) 1/2 cup cream Cut the cauliflower head up into small chunks and steam until it is very very tender. It should mash up when you poke it with a fork. Drain any water from the cauliflower and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, butter and cream. Mash with hand masher or whip with electric beater until it is the desired consistency. If it's too lumpy, try putting the whole mixture in a food processor and processing until it's smooth and creamy! Season to taste. You have to make sure to cook the cauliflower just right in order for this to come out like whipped potatoes, otherwise it will be a bit lumpy, but still tasty!
