I just made another batch this week.
I just did a recipe search and you are right. I might try some paprika like one receipe suggested. I'm not a huge fan of green peppers so I'll leave those out.

Topic: need pumpkin/fall recipes!
does anyone have any bariatric friendly pumpkin/fall recipes? mmm I am craving it after seeing all the pumpkin and fall baked goods in the grocery store! thanks!
Topic: RE: Did anyone find that spices hurt them?
My nutritionist says no leaf spices or black pepper. Only things like salt, garlic powder, onion powder. She worries that things like oregano or basil could get stuck in the staples and cause an ulcer. She suggests making a pouch with the herbs and spices and soaking it in the soup/sauce and then taking it out before eating. Not everyone gets this advice though.
Topic: Did anyone find that spices hurt them?
Did anyone find that spices were ok to use during the full liquid diet part after surgery? I do not want to make soup for liquid broth and add spices and then hurt from them when I drink it.
