Lizzie asks…
Does anyone have recipes for the elderly that require a ‘soft food’ diet or for vitamised food? Thank you 
food answers:
Almost any food can be ‘soft food’ if put in a blender with broth. And don’t forget a wonderful consomme, a beef or chicken broth with gelatin added. Here are some recipes.

Also Amazon has an entire book on this subject.

(Oh, and I TOTALLY agree with the Ensure suggestion above. There are a couple other good fortified drinks besides such as Slim Fast and Carnation Instant breakfast. I forgot that! When my mom was sick that was all she would eat for a while. Plus they comes in a variety of flavors.)
Maria asks…
Need soft food recipe’s, no meat, rice, pasta, or bread.?
My husband just had a Nissan Fundoplication surgery, so they tore apart his insides but he is an active guy and can’t sit still for long, so he is burning calories, but barely eating, which makes him especially GRUMPY! I need some soft food recipe’s. I don’t care how many calories there are but he can’t have MEAT, RICE, PASTA, or BREAD. This also includes no bread like products like crackers. I have him on scrambled eggs, grits, jello, ice cream, pudding and mashed potatoes. He is getting VERY bored with his restrictive diet, and I am in desperate need of some new ideas here. He is not that in to sweets either, so I need sustaining ideas. Any thoughts???
food answers:
How about bananas?
You could also cook up some apples and toss them in cinnamon butter.
Does he like spinach? I MIGHT be able to adapt a filling recipe for you if you like. E-mail me.
Sounds like a serious operation. Best wishes to you and your husband.
Sandy asks…
Does anyone have any recipes for someone who just got braces?
My fiancé just got braces and he hasn’t been able to eat my cooking because his teeth are very sensitive. We usually eat a lot of salad and chicken. I don’t eat beef, pork or really anything with 4 legs and he doesn’t eat seafood. We do try to eat a pretty healthy balanced diet, which isn’t going well with him right now. I have some ideas about what to cook, but I wanted to see if anyone has ideas for some easy recipes for soft good food I can make for him and I can enjoy as well. Or even recipes with meat he would like.
food answers:
i ate a lot of peanut butter and jelly when i got mine ………………
James asks…
ideas for diet after surgery?
I am going to be cooking most of the meals for a woman who has recently had stomach surgery (I’ll be doing some of her food shopping, too).
Her diet is currently limited to soft foods, such as soups, yogurt, puddings, etc. My job is to meet her requirements, but try to add some variety and excitement to the things she eats. Also, I obviously need to provide adequate nutrition…you can only get so many vitamins from pudding!
I’m not necessarily looking for specific recipes, although they would be welcome. Mostly, I’d appreciate just ideas and guidelines.
I should point out that she’s about 40 years old, and has no other particular dietary restrictions. I would, however, prefer not to prepare things that are <> with fat, sugar, or sodium.
food answers:
i had stomach surgery 3-27-07. had to follow same diet. went to wal-mart picked up a good protein powder. mixed that with low-fat milk 2x a day to get required grams of protein. other than that i basically lived on pintos and cheese, mashed potatoes, sugar free puddings, chicken broth, chicken noodle soup, mushroom soup, yogurt, popsicles, cottage cheese. basically anything very soft. i got to where if i boiled chicken to the point of it almost falling apart and added some rice, that stayed down too. i don’t know what kind of surgery your friend is having, but be warned some foods textures might not be tolerated too good at first. i’m still trying to re-introduce some foods back into my diet.
tell your friend i wsih her good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery. e-mail me if you need too.
