Re: Just banded...

If you like cottage cheese, get the fat-free kind. It's so versatile! Want something sweet? Add applesauce, baby food, or sugar free jam/jelly. Something more savory? Put pasta sauce in and zap it for 30 seconds in the microwave. Or add salsa. It's great!

Fat-free refried beans with low-fat cheese are yummy. I've also blended baked beans.

If you're allowed potatoes, try garlic mashed potatoes with green chili and low-fat cheese (I allow myself to eat that no more than once a day. I try to focus on more protein-friendly options).

You can blend tuna salad or chicken salad made with reduced fat mayo.

Try pureed chili (I like Wendy's) and thicker soups, too.
