I've just finished my first week of mush, another week of it to go.

Variety is key! So here are some of my creations thus far -

Green Curry Soup -

Diced vegetables boiled for 10 minutes (zuchini, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin).
In another saucepan add diced onion with a dash of garlic and chilli for about a minute then a small handful of chicken mince and cook through.
Pour in with mince the following - 2 tablespoons of green curry paste, can of coconut cream, half a cup of chicken stock, boiled veges
Let simmer for 20 minutes so veges go extra soft then serve
Note: Curry paste comes in many different flavours so you can swap for another flavour curry if green curry is not your thing.

Mexican Jumble -

On a saucer plate create a layer of refried beans and zap in micro for 1 min.
Add a layer of avocado
Add a layer of cooked taco seasoned mince
Top with salsa, grated cheese and sour cream
Note: Very filling! Small amounts only.

Shepherds Pie -

In an oven dish have a layer of mince with diced carrot, peas and corn with shepherd pie seasoning (whatever brand you prefer)
Layer of mash potato
grated cheese on top and then in the oven for half an hour.
Note: Freezes well

Rizos -

In an oven dish place some rissoles
Pour a tin of tomato soup over rissoles
30-40 minutes in the oven
Serve over creamy potato and pumpkin mash
Note: Spend the money on some good quality rissoles from the butcher or better yet, hand make them. They will freeze well.

Honey Mustard Chicken -

In a saucepan, handful of chicken mince, diced onion and cook through.
Add Honey Mustard Chicken sauce mix (I prefer the 'masterfoods' brand)
Serve over garlic mash
Note: Add veges if preferred, I usually add zuchini if I have some in the fridge.

Voila!

Could NOT believe eating mushies could be so good. Thanks so much for sharing your yummy recipes.

Hey Becki, The curry pastes come in so many different flavours so you could just choose a sweeter curry flavour, I don't think it was very spicy anyway that's why I added chilli to mine.

Yummo...I have just started mushies....so far have only had mushed up avocado with lemon juice, pepper and salt - went down no worries at all and sooooooooo yummy.

Last night I had a cup full of hummus and boy that did not agree with me...felt like it was going down real slow and burped and burped and burped....will try some Vella vegi soup for lunch today....

I must admit I am no having a coffee in the morning and just loving it....

Keep up with the recipe ideas....and thank you.\

Wow they sound soooo good. Dying for this stage to begin. I would have thought that the mince -both chicken and beef would have been too lumpy.
Were you nervous trying them the first time?

[Miss H]

Nah I wasn't nervous, the mince goes down really well cause everything is well sauced, dry mince might be a problem though so I have avoided that. I had a bit of lettuce the other day and wow that hurt lol but lessoned learnt.

Just start off with small amounts I was prob only having half a cup to a cup per day for the first few days, now I can eat maybe 2 cups of mushy food.

For breakfast I usually have a runny poached egg, baked beans and a bit of avo on the side and I have had no problems at all with that.

I am trying the Mexican Jumble tonight with the family, cant wait!!

[Becki****]

2 weeks today since my op and iam currently trying a banana.... its not going down to well. very very slow and painful. getting stuck i think ??????????? But golly gosh it tastes great and i miss them !

[Miss H]

How was it Danielle? I had the honey mustard chicken for the second time this week lol.

[Boo]

Mmm can't wait...4 days to go for mushies.....

[Danielle]

It was divine!!! Too divine infact, and is now sitting somewhere up around my neck! I still dont have a hang on serving size yet, but I think this taught me the hard way lol

[Gherkin]

I cannot wait to CHEW on something. My teeth and tongue feel weird. I am brushing my teeth all the time.

I like the Mexican jumble one. I have had it at parties but never knew the name of it.

I am looking forward to my Mum's tuna mornay!

[jbon]

GUACAMOLE RECIPE

2 Avocados-well mashed
1/4 cup cooked capsicum strips-diced fine (the ones in the jar will do)
1/4 cup onion - diced fine & fried gently until very soft (in a tblsp oil)
pinch of salt
juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes
chilli to taste
Mix together, chill & eat

Later on you can have this with crackers or as a topping for chili Con Carne
but for mushies, its great on its own as a vegetable substitute

[Nofluba]

First mushie dinner - Mexican jumble. OMG. Heaven. :-)

[jona]

MMMM Thankyou for these recipies!! I'll have to give them all a try! :-)
