The think is a have problems with a lot of veggies due to my stoma and how it gets blocked easily. I can't really eat anything but lettuce raw and cooked veggies like broccoli and cabbage gives me issues also. I can eat stuff like cooked beans, peas, carrots, and other soft cooked veggies. Fruit I can do more cooked. The only raw ones I can eat are some berries and I still have to be careful.
It's no fun and most of my favorite foods I eat before I can't now
but at least I am alive.
Have you tried making soups? It's an easy way of getting your veggies.I have V8 for veggies lol

I have several recipes I can share that are tasty and easy to make that I am willing to share. You just need a large pan and stick blender or liquidiser to puree it. Basically you bung the ingredients in a pan and simmer for an hour or so and then blitz it with the blender/liquidiser/food processor
And you and Jaques and hubby are all in our hearts.Thanks so much, Adam!
Jacques is back at the vets for more aggressive treatment of her pneumonia, but appears to be doing well. The vet says her prognosis is good.
I've got a few things going on with my family that I'd rather not talk about, but I'm fine.
I am very grateful for this forum and ESPECIALLY grateful for the CDR and all its silly, loving occupants !!!!!!!
I lurk about sometimes but am not posting much at all right now.
But please know you're all in my heart.
Please come back to us as soon as it is possible for you.

I might try one or two if it's not an inconvenience
I have them all in a Google Drive folder that you can access easily or I can email a few. Either way, PM your email addressI might try one or two if it's not an inconvenience
You will have to let me know if any of the ingredients need translating into US English as we don't always call things by the same name
Well done ! I hope it will help to get the right meds.

That is a good start. But both are dairy and fat. More variety from the different food groups would be better. BTW very proud of you for trying and the progress you have achieved so far. Well done.
Here is a nice recipe for pea and bacon soup. Fry some bacon bits in a pot, then add some onion and fry that until the onion is a see through colour. You can then add chopped up vegetables (carrots, green beans, and any other veg you have in your fridge. Here in SA you can buy a veg mix in packets already cut into a Juliene style - which is what I use for my pot) fry it all together, add your salt and pepper. Then put into the pot, for a standard pot size add one or two blocks of chicken stock, and a packet of split peas (those dried ones) and then pour water in until almost to the top. It must cover all the ingredients and then some. You then leave it alone on the stove at a medium heat to simmer (only stirring occasionally) until the split peas become mush and the water and split peas become one. Bliz it all together and Yummy soup. You can also freeze it in tupperware for you to eat on another day.
I also want some nice soup recipes please. Especially vegetarian ones for when winter comes. Pretty Please

I am happy to share my Google Drive folder with anyone that PM’s me their email address.
I tried this one recently - it was different and really nice. I chucked in 200g of red lentils to make it more filling.

I use recipes for guidance. Mixed vegetable soup (aka things that look past their best in the fridge) is quite common here
I always blitz soups with the stick blender as I prefer them smooth.
