Two More Days of Pureed Foods

May 31, 2010

 I feel I have done well on the pureed foods although I've stuck to a pretty repetitive menu.  For breakfast I've had 1 egg scrambled with skim milk and a low fat cheese slice.  The last couple of mornings I've felt hungrier than normal so around 10 I have an Atkins protein shake or a packet of weight control oatmeal with some baby food fruit puree.  For lunch I have totally fallen head over heels for 1/2 cup refried beans heated and topped with melted cheddar (just a bit), spicy salsa and low fat sour cream (yum).  Afternoon snack is always a bit different - sometimes a small piece of cheese, or a couple of tablespoons of hummus and yesterday I had some sliced cucumbers with dip and chewed them especially well - it was so good.  For dinner I lived 4 nights on baked ricotta - whoever came up with that recipe is a genius!.  Tonight I have to come up with something different for dinner and I'm just surfing the web for some ideas.

This weekend was spent at the cottage and both my son and daughter plus my son-in-law to be were there for dinner on Saturday.  I made them awesome bbq steaks, roasted potatoes, roasted garlic bread and greek salad and for dessert I heated up a store bought apple pie.  I then proceeded to sit and eat my warmed over ricotta bake which I added some spinach and extra sauce to - and later in the evening when they had their pie I had some sf chocolate pudding.  It was so good I did not even miss the dinner I could not have.  And this morning when I stepped on the scale I was down a pound from Friday - YAY!..........lol.
