Oh ,so sorry! Hope he feels better!

Mary I wish I could help--I'm not much of a cook! Glad he is home.

When my DH was on bland food in order to get his gall bladder removed. I made tuna noodle casserole minus the cheese you can't get any blender then that, it was like eating soft cardboard.

Super idea Nettie......have all the ingredients! 😘

Thank you, Mary. It isn't the best of ideas but it will hopefully get you through. My other suggestion is milk toast minus the cinnamon.

Google bland diets. You will get a ton of ideas of what it consists of.

I am on a bland diet every so often and the only thing that I like and it is comfort food is homemade chicken soup and probably not everyone likes it. I make the stock from either thighs or legs, carrots, celery, onions and since I grow rosemary-rosemary. I know it is simple but I like it. Bland diets are so hard because of the very definition of "bland". Hopefully, in due time, he will be able to once again eat some things he likes. I know you are a good cook because you mentioned you had lost a lot of weight and you were cooking nutritious meals. Your DH is now on my prayer list as "Mary's Husband". God will know who I am talking about. I am glad you are back. Positivity Pam

Oh, another thing I consider bland-salmon filets. I buy them frozen in a bag-good quality and I just use a little lemon on them. On the chicken soup, if onions are too harsh, just leave them in for taste and pull them out before eating. Like I said, I am not much of a good cook. I was brought up back east to a working class family and we ate homemade soup and stews, casseroles, chili, and burgers-just not much steak believe me! Pam

Thanks for everything Pam. You are always there with a helping hand and a kind word to all of us and it’s much appreciated.

Funny you should mention chicken soup......it’s first on my lot do list for today. Two years ago I bought a big red cast iron soup pot which I use for everything. It was on sale and one of the best bargains in my life. It looks so cheery on the stove.

Mary -
I have gotten into the habit of taking any leftover vegetables at the end of the week, putting them in a big soup pot and covering them with water. I boil them until they are soft, then take a bullet blender and blend them into a nice, thick, mild soup. Blending the veggies makes the soup thick, without flour or any other starches. I have blended everything from cabbage leaves to radishes, and the result has been yummy every time. A potato, yam, or cauliflower is an especially nice thickener. This method keeps me from wasting fresh veggies, and it's a nice comfort food during this cold, rainy season.
Blessings upon you and your DH as he recovers!
