My mother has dental problems and I need soft food recipes?

My mother has dental problems and I need soft food recipes?


My mom is going to have all of her teeth pulled. In the meantime she cannot chew anything. She can't even chew spaghetti. Any tasty and nutritious ideas for her to eat? I appreciate your help.My mother has dental problems and I need soft food recipes?
all of these answers are good but when my dad had his pulled he also ate butternut squash baked an we used a black and decker food processor for other food like meat so try that and good luck!!!My mother has dental problems and I need soft food recipes?
Lots of soup and scrambled eggs. My grandfather, in his 90s, had problems like that. He ate a lot of graham crackers and chocolate chip cookies he dunked in milk.





She might be able to eat orzo, which is a pasta that's shaped like big rice. He ate that sometimes.





How about Rice a Roni? We made risotto using beef broth, rice and saffron, and he could eat that but you have to cook it a long time and it's kind of a pain. There's a brand in a bag that's pretty good...I think it's called Alessi. They also have lentil soup which would probably work. The hard part is making sure her nutrition is adequate while she can't eat.





If you can make your own macaroni and cheese sauce, you could use the orzo for that. You could also over cook the macaroni for her.





Maybe chili made with ground beef, not chunks of beef.





You can make her hot chocolate using milk instead of water. I mean using the little packages. I'm sure you can make it from milk and cocoa, but I wouldn't know what to do after the milk was hot.





Milk shakes and smoothies, and yogurt itself if she likes it, and cottage cheese if she likes that.
Cottage cheese, oatmeal, poached eggs, chicken broth, plain tuna, mashed potatoes, spinach, pears and sweet potatoes.





If you feel like she isn't getting enough nutrition, offer her an Ensure shake occasionally.

(I Googled ';mechanical soft diet'; for those ideas)
Puree her veggies like baby foods.





I like carrots and parsnips mashed together, or either with mashed potatoes.





Creamed soups with added veggies that go really soft like pumpkin, squash, turnips, swede.





A nice piece of poached fish will do in a few days.
soup , mashed potatoes, porridge, Cream of wheat ,smoothies, milkshakes, everything that she can swallow without chewing .
nutritious? how about egg salad or tuna salad! both are a great source of protein (and require a minimum of chewing, provided it is chopped very finely). good luck to your mom.
puree the food in a blender,it should be the consistency of baby food
