Puree Hamburger Helper!???
My husband is making himself hamburger helper dinner and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this pureed? I was thinking I would pick out some the meat and a few noodles, put it in the food processor and maybe some shredded cheddar cheese, but Im a little skeptical!!! Or I could get some of the meat before he mixes in the hamburger helper and puree that with something!! ...Im so LOST!
....Any thoughts on this!???

So, I used mostly meet and 2 noodles. Put it in the food chopper instead of the blender, the noodles were completely chopped to a mush but the ground meet remained a little gritty. I microwaved it after and put some shedded cheese on top. It was pretty good, but still not the Lasagna Hamburger Helper I'm used to!!
Yeah thats what I was thinking!! Its 110 calories per serving (one cup). 21g Carb and 2g Sugar. But considering I am only 8 days post-op I was only able to eat less than a full ounce! So I'm guessing I probably didnt consume too many calories. I added a little shredded cheese to it and only used 2 noodles out of the whole skillet. ...not too bad!
Yeah, I should really be making healthier choices earlier on so its easier for me when I'm able to consume more than 1 ounce of meat. My husband is deploying in less than two weeks, so it will definitely be easier once he's gone. Also, Im a VERY picky eater. I wont eat ricotta cheese unless its IN lasagna. The only cheese I eat is shredded mild cheddar, or sliced chedder. Any other cheese like sliced (which I hate) or swiss or provolone has to be on a hot sandwich (which I cant have). So over these last few days I have been exploring when I can have that I might actually like. Most of what I like, I cant have. I have a bunch of mandarine orange fruit cups in the fridge that I cannot eat and strawberries and stuff like that. I LOVE fruit, but most of it is raw I guess!! ...BUMMER
Waaaaaaay to many carbs in that meal, especially just a few days out. (The hamburger helper is processed with a lot of crap in the sauce...Sugar, salt and stuff we don't need.) Noodles we don't need at all...
Your carbs should be LESS than 12 grams per meal. (even if you eat an ounce of food...If the nutritional stats say a serving contains more than 12 grams of carbs...Leave it alone for now).
Just the ground hamburger with melted cheese would have been fine...No sauce (unless you make it yourself...Maybe some tomato paste or homemade spaghetti sauce) and then your melted cheese on top...Mmmmmmm!
Warmly,
