 Ahhh...the dreaded and HATED puree stage!  

Some of my favorite things were:

Ricotta cheese, warmed with either sweet or savory spices.  With some spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle of Italian season it's like the inside of stuffed shells or lasagna.  With cinnamon and some Splenda or a little cocoa powder, it's a cannoli!

Refried beans with some American cheese melted in (at this stage melted cheddar or other hard cheese tends to be too tough)...stir in some sour cream and silky-smooth guacamole.  HEAVEN.

Unsweetened applesauce, warm with some Splenda and baking spices like nutmeg or ginger - stir in a swirl of creamy peanut butter.

Greek-style or regular plain yogurt with Splenda/spices/or other extracts.  Even whip in some non-fat cream cheese for an instant cheesecake goodie.  Or a little sf instant pudding powder.

Take a can of any beans that you love and whiz them in the processor with spices a little chicken broth and heat.  Very comforting.

Cottage cheese in tomato soup - so good.  Or make my Mock Rice Pudding without the raisins.  You will have died and gone to LALA-Land!!

Thank you soooo much for this post.  I made both the sweet and savory ricotta recipes today and put them in a container in my refrigerator so that I can take some a little at a time. 

The only difference was that I mixed the savory ricotta with an egg and baked it to let it set.  (1C ricotta with 1 egg, plus seasonongs)

I just now finally took a little out, added a small amount of sauce and heated it in the microwave.  I think it just saved my sanity!

you would be surprised how good blenderized wendy's chilli is....texture is a little gritty, but it tastes as good as the whole style!
