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.

At two weeks post-op, my doctor approved me to eat soft hamburger

meat, if I cut it up in tiny tiny pieces & he also approved same

with shredded chicken. Hamburger & chicken gives you a lot of

options! I've even gone to the grocery store & asked the butcher to

grind up steak (rib eye works good) like a hamburger & eaten that

after I cooked it of coarse! (I did that before surgery because of

chewing limitations I had then).

I was able to eat fish & chips-style fish. Just peel the batter off,

add lots of tartar sauce (I like tartar sauce), flatten with a fork

and slide 'er in. You don't have to chew down on that stuff, I

actually just mushed it around with my tongue before I was allowed to

soft chew. I also did the french fries by adding liberal amounts of

vinegar and ketchup to soften them up, mushing with my fork or knife,

then just mushing them up against the top of my mouth (palate) for

taste. I bravely did this at two weeks post-op in a pub. First time I

was able to drink from a glass too - pub glasses are just the right

shape for re-learning how to drink.

Eggs, beans (I like refried beans with cheese melted on top), soup,

oatmeal with bananas, chili, souffles (I found a great spinach one

in the grocery store that was really yummy), rice (I made a

delicious Thai coconut rice with black beans and vegi's the other

day), couscous with soft vegi's, soft vegi's (cooked peas, carrots,

spaghetti squash) and fruit (applesauce, soft pears, bananas, etc.) -

oh there are so many good things - just try flipping through a

cookbook or take your time in the grocery store going down every

aisle - I always find something new (I tried a new and yummy

vegetarian vegi loaf with mashed pototoes and corn/peas yesterday

for lunch)!

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,
