Share your Band friendly recipes!

My date is set, and all I can think about is the surgery and my life as a post op.  I realize that solid food is about 3wks + into my future after surgery, but I'd like to start collecting recipes so when it's time, I have some band friendly recipes to start off with.

Would you mind sharing a one, two, or a couple?

Thanks :)
