Thank you Judy. I am in the soft food stage.Hi there. Are you in the pureed stage? If so, and you are that early on in the process, I personally wouldn't worry about calories. In the beginning you will be getting so few calories anyway, that I wouldn't even track them. The main thing is to follow your food eating stage as your stomach heals, and following your restriction cues on when you feel full.
Shelly’s Ricotta BakeI don't know the calories, but I would love to see your recipe, please, if you don't mind sharing. Thank you Spader.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. It sounds like lasagna w/o the noodles (carbs). They keep showing the Stouffer's Lasagna on tv, which is a carbohydrate nightmare but a sauce & cheese lover's dream. I am definitely making this, maybe this weekend. Could definitely satisfy my tastebuds. I also have some frozen chicken & beef mini meatballs I might throw in. Yum!!!Shelly’s Ricotta Bake
8 oz ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 large egg beaten
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup marinara
