Pureed food suggestions

[phatgirl]

Hi Nic never tried hummas but can I come live with you please lol.....I will await your updates with bated breath well with drool really lol...xx

I am going to post all my cooking exploits today but I wanted to drop you a quick tip for a no cook meal. I bought some baby food (I know not very exciting but I mostly wanted the tiny containers and only cost about 50p) but it was surprisingly very yummy.

Brand: Heinz
Kind: Mum's Own Recipe
( 4-6 months range)
Flavour: Sweet potato & beef pie

I ate half the jar with some salt, a pinch of shredded cheese zapped in the micro for about 20-30 seconds. I did this as soon as I got back from the shop and it was lovely. Completely smooth but full of flavour & nutritious. I bought some others so as I try them I will let you know if they are any good.

If you had told me a year ago that I would get satisfaction out of a half a jar of baby food I would have laughed in your face! But here we are and it is all about the little victories!

sorry to hear you have been feeling sick hun. i bought lots of the thicker country soups which had lumps in which i pureed made it a bit thicker and they were tasty. i found this stage the hardest really as i struggle with consisitancy of food and the mush thing made me gag. i did try baby food without any joy!! good luck and let us know how you get on x

Do you throw it all in the blender together? and forgive my stupidity not a great cook do you dry fry your mince drain off any fluid then toss it in the blender with the rice remove and then put the sauce on or toss it all in together....hey I am good at some things but cooking just is not one of them lol...xx

I cook the rice , mix it with the sauce and blend it. Then I fry the mince off (its such a tiny bit that i fry it with no oil and there isn't any fat to drain, then I put the rice and sauce in and mix it together and then dish it up! Yummy!!!

PG, you were right about the zonk lol....went into town today just to the bank and one or two shops and I was shattered when I got home had to have a lie down!...xx

Hi Tammy, I have to say I also find this stage the hardest if you dont get the texture right its too hard to eat and if you blend it too much it goes bland I so cant wait until I can move on to just soft foods lol...xx

I think that is just how it is at this stage, we are still in recovery even though we feel pretty good. Lots of rest!
