New Recipes Soft Chew

[Guest guest]

I am sick to death of eating noodles, tuna, grits, soup and

spaghetti. I need something new to eat. Do any of you have any

meals to share.

I am still on liquid but hope to be released to soft chew on Monday. I plan to

try

sloppy joe filling (with finely ground meat), scalloped potatoes, mashed up

tamales,

and lots of Indian food. (I actually have already managed to eat some pureed

Indian

food through my syringe!) Knorr's makes a penne pasta in tomato parmesan sauce

that I really like, especially if I add chopped black olives. I plan to just

crush the pasta

a little before cooking it and think I should be able to get it down fine. I

also make a

casserole which is just cooked rice mixed with cream of celery soup, milk,

sauteed

onions and celery and breakfast sausage that I think will go down fine as long

as the

meat and veggies are chopped small. How about hummous and baba ghanoush?

Those are usually very smooth. Can you tell I am ready to get to the where you

are?

Luck,

Soft foods from my dairy-free household:

Peanut butter balls:

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup instant milk (still powder - I use a non-dairy 'milk' powder)

1/2 cup something dry, like oatmeal, wheat germ, crushed cereal.

Mix up and either press into a pan or roll into balls. In the fridge

it firms up, left out it gets very soft and gooey. It mushes very

well with the tongue, and is good for protein.

Mashed taters a la Kris:

Saute onions and garlic until slightly browned (or very browned,

depending on how you like them.) Toward the end add a slice of sweet

pepper if you like it. Either chop fine or blend. Mix into mashed

potatoes with a little chicken broth and a scoop or more of

horseradish SAUCE. NOT prepared horseradish, which is hot. The

sauce tastes like zippy mayo - you can use mayo instead if you want.

Kris' famous chicken salad:

Run one boneless, skinless cooked chicken breast through your food

processor until very fine.

Run 1-2 dill pickles and half a raw onion through food processor as

well.

Stir together and add just enough mayo to moisten (or more if you

need it to slide down.)

Seasoning:

2 TBSP dill SEED (not weed), crushed

1 TBSP celery seed

1 TBSP dried mint (I use peppermint tea, which has no other

ingredients)

Mix together and sprinkle on, a little at a time, until it gets to

where you like it. I think, though, that until your incisions heal

you're not supposed to eat seeds. I don't know how crushed they have

to be before they're OK.

People who swear they hate chicken salad love this. I get requests

for it. I make sandwiches of it, but if bread isn't going down, you

could probably eat it straight.

If you want any more suggestions with particular foods in mind, e-

mail me. Lexicology2000@...
