This is week 3 of having to eat "soft" foods due to my oral surgery. Needless to say, I am sick of pasta! What I would really like is a big, juicy steak, but it's still on the "no-no" list. So, this week will be a chicken recipe week since chicken is pretty soft. We have lots of ...

I'm still trying to use up the zucchini from my garden, so I thought I'd make another soup to put in the freezer for the school year. This is a great low-fat one. My husband jokes that this one should be called "cholorphyll soup" because of the bright green color. :) You do have ...

This "bread" is amazing! It probably should be called cake. :) It is moist and chocolaty (is that a word?) and you'll want to eat the whole loaf in one sitting.Ingredients:1 cup sugar2 eggs1/3 cup vegetable oil1 1/4 cups mashed bananas (about 3)1 tsp vanilla extract1 1/2 cups flour1/2 ...
We were very excited last week to pick Corey up from his three-week class at Northwestern. He had a great time and learned a lot, but it sure is nice to have him home again. I still have to eat "soft foods" this week, so you will see that reflected in the menu. We are having friends ...
Well, I'm surviving my gum graft so far. :) I still have "chipmunk cheeks", but I haven't had to take pain medication. The bummer in all of this is that I have to eat "soft foods" for 30 days. I posted a plea for help on ideas for soft food recipes, so if you have any to share, ...
