I enjoyed making a mini-lasagna with ricotta cheese, tomato sauce and a tiny meatball. Heat it all up and yum!

I also had tuna with mayo.

You can puree any food ie soup, stew etc.canned or homemade, in a food processor. Try to maximize protein and minimize fat and sugars other than that go for it.
There are other ideas on WLS Recipes under the Stage 3/Pureed topic that may be of some help to you. d

My latest gourmet pureed meal is tuna salad. Even my family loves it, so I have to hide it lol. I made regular tuna salad (tuna, eggs, mayo, pickle relish, celery salt, pepper, and Nature's Seasons) and pureed it.

I have also pureed spaghetti my family was eating...not bad. Canned corned beef hash (had a craving, it was good). Kraft mac n cheese, it was awful! A friend of mine pureed sloppy joe meat and added some mustard and cheese and said it was good. She also had some refried beans with guac and taco seasoning.

I'm having grilled chicken pureed today.

Just gotta be creative.

This was in the booklet my Doc and Nut gave me for Pureed foods. Scrambled Eggs, Cottage Cheese, refried beans, Tofu, Pureed lentils and Peas, and Bean Soups, Hummus, Ricotta Cheese, Pureed Beef, poultry, pork fish (blend when dry and add broth afterwards), Smooth Peanut Butter (but its better for you if you mix in a drink than eating by itself) Canned Tuna, Chicken, Ham, Turkey mashed with a fork (can add a little Light Dressing to it to help smooth it out), Mashed Potatoes, Purreed Fruit (unsweetened), Any Mashed Pureed Vegetable, and Baby Food.

It was also suggested to add powdered protein wherever possible....Hope it helps
