I think there may have been a thread on this but I can't find it. My 96 year old

diabetic neighbor had an abscess in her mouth and is restricted to eating soft room temperature foods. I thought of custard and mashed potatoes but she can't last for ten days on that! Doctor also said kale, spinach etc to stop the bleeding but she can't chew!

Any suggestions?

 
soft food for neighbor

Ever try those refrigerated overnight oatmeal with fruit breakfasts? They go down pretty smooth esp. if you use softer fruits like bananas, berries etc. or even puree the fruit. Set it out so it comes to room temp. or microwave to take chill off.

 
Deviled egg- just the yolk mixture, Hummus, cooked chopped spinach mixed in herb cheese spread

Quiche, roasted tomato soup, twice-baked potato, pureed carrots, baked pureed zucchini mixture (See below)

Use just the stuffing part of this recipe instead of hollowing out the shells just puree some of the zukes:

PUREÉD ZUCCHINI IN THEIR SHELLS

6 medium zucchinis, unpeeled, ends trimmed and scored with a fork
1 tsp salt
1 T oil
2 slices firm white bread, broken
1 egg
1 extra egg yolk
3T chopped fresh basil
nutmeg, pepper, salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350°
Cut 8-1-1/2" lengths of zucchini. Place cut side down and scoop pulp with a melon baller, leaving about 1/4" walls and bottom. Reserve the pulp. Sprinkle shells with 1/2 tsp salt and invert on paper towels for 30 minutes to leech out the juice.
Chop the pulp in a food processor. With the shredder blade, process ends of zucchini not used for the shells. Heat oil in a large pan, add the pulp mix and cook until dry over medium heat, stirring frequently (takes about 15 minutes) Place bread in work bowl and process until fine. Add rest of ingredients to the pulp and adjust seasonings so mix is highly seasoned. Fill zucchini shells, set in pan and pour 1/4" of water in bottom. Tent with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

 
She should be able to eat egg salad (building on the devilled egg suggestion). Just put the eggs

in the food processor and add mayo. Really nutritious also

 
Soups. Many can be eaten at room temp, they don't have to be hot. Also,

Is she able to eat something like tuna salad or egg salad on white bread? That's pretty soft And if need be so you don't need the bread.

 
The smoothie idea is a good one, because you can add the spinach and kale, along

with a banana or a little avocado to give it great taste and creaminess.. If she does not have digestion issues with eating beef, making a baby food and adding steamed potatoes, sour cream, some gravy would be a nice treat. What about pureed pastas with the sauce. Also, what about those drinks like Ensure that give the extra vitamins, minerals, as a fill in maybe for breakfast or one at lunch.

 
How about making Ice Pops out of smoothies? ds went to a party and they were served. I am not a

smoothie person, so I don't know what was in it. But ds really enjoyed it. Refreshing and nutritional. Might be good for her tooth.

 
Ha! I won't even suggest that...she wears a sweater on 90

restaurant, she asked that they warm up her water in a microwave!
