So today I went to the grocery store and made the shareholders very happy. Then I spent the day in the kitchen, multi-tasking in ways I never knew I was capable of and let me tell you - when it comes to meals for the next while I am SET!!

2 batches of Taco Casserole
1 Nik's Chicken Pot Pie
12 BF Mexi-Cali Meatloaf (mini - loaves)
18 or so Magic Meatballs (1st pan ready to go in the oven here)

I have the goods to make noodle-less lasagna and Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and "Rice" casserole, but I just ran out of energy, inspiration and time!

Don't judge.... your kitchen would be a disaster after Nik-palooza too!!!

LOL
Well, I m all about convenience for my meals when I take my lunch break at work to go help my mom - has to be fast for me to even consider it, and filling for it to do any good - these do all of that!
Plus I try to cook once a week or so for my parents, so this way they can just thaw and cook and I can nap instead !!

I am going to the grocery store tomorrow to get the stuff to make the cheesy chicken, brocolli and "rice" and possibly the taco casserole. Do you think since I'm just 4 weeks out those would be good options for me? I'm on soft food now whi*****lude soft baked meats and soft veggies. Your dishes look delish! Enjoy!!!!

Thank you Nik and Bariatric Foodie for giving us such great ideas!!!

I'm not a real good source for early out meals, but I would think at minimum you would want to peel the shaush and zukes because of how fibrous it can be.

That's what I was mostly wondering about. Thank you!!!!

Yeah I've had taco casserole about every other week for the last few months lol
The chicken pot pie is a huge favorite around here as are the meatballs. This is the 2nd time I've made the meatloaves and they are good and filling.
