I'm in heaven!

I just made the Ricotta Bake and OMG it is wonderful.  I guess anything would be great after being on liquids for so long! lol

I could only eat a few spoonfuls but it did the trick!

So glad you liked it!  I haven't tried it yet but keep meaning to.

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 large Egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.

I hear you!!!  I went to my surgery group today for my four week check up.  So excited cuz I get to eat a soft diet....that means I don't have to eat puréed chicken...I can mix it myself!   Can also have a salad.....ice berg lettuce only.  Still only can eat a small amount so whatever I can eat will be 2-4 ounces.  

So my friend, in a couple of weeks you can mix your own chicken salad!  

Added note:  I was upset two weeks ago because I hadn't lost any weight.  Today when I weighed in, I had lost 20 pounds in two weeks.   Fantastic....since I cannot walk very well.   We'll...that's a another story.

I'll be looking for that recipe in a couple weeks!  Happy to hear you are doing well!

That sounds YUMMY! 

That was one of the first "foods" I ate, too... and loved it.

LOVE this :) Actually, you just reminded me I need to make another batch...I ate my last serving last night! :)
