Recipes for Pureed Phase

I mentioned in my blog that my doctor's office had provided 4 recipes for the pureed phase of our postop diet.  For those who don't have these available, here they are:

Tuna or Chicken Salad
1 6-oz can light tuna or chicken packed in water (drained)
2 tablespoons fat-free or light MiracleWhip or mayo
1 teaspoon mustard
1/4 teaspoon celery salt

Add all ingredients to blend.  Blend on high speed until smooth.  Refrigerate.


Refried Beans & Cheese
1 can fat-free refried beans
Shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

Mash refried beans with for****il smooth.  Sprinkle cheese over beans.  Heat until melted.


Chicken & Veggie Supreme
1 large boneless/skinless chicken breast
1 bag frozen broccoli (or veggie of your choice)
1 can chicken broth
1 can low-fat cream of chicken soup
Mashed potato flakes

Cook chicken and veggies in broth for about an hour, simmering on low heat.  Add to blender with cream of chicken soup and process.  Add mashed potatoe flakes to desired consistency.


Deviled Eggs
6 large eggs
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese  (I used Greek yogurt)
3 tablespoons light Miracle-Whip or mayo
1/2 teaspoon mustard

Place eggs in saucepan and cover with water.  Bring to simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.  Drain and set pan under cold running water for 2  minutes.  Peel eegs and slice in half, remove yolks with a spoon and mash with a fork. 

In blender, puree the cottage cheese until smooth and add egg whites, if desired.  In a bowl, mix egg yolks, cottage cheese blend, mayo and mustard.  Refigerate. 

I was so excited when I made it to this stage the fat free refried beans and cheese were a favorite and still are!

thanks so much for sharing these recipes.  I just wrote them down so I'll have them when I'm ready for them.  I'm trying to gather all the information I think I could use post-op.
