Any thing like leaf lettuce and fruit may fit this type of diet.
Cutout up your lettuce and slice your fruit into the salad. Use a mayo base
dressing and stay away for the vinegar base.
As for protein, Quinoa is a great source for it. Just remember to rinse the
quinoa well before cooking.
I like soaking the quinoa for about fifteen minutes
1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cup liquid of your choice (water, chicken broth, etc.)
Bring liquid to a boil
Place in boiling water, Bring back to a boil.
Turn heat down as low as possible and cover with a tight lid.
In fifteen minutes the liquid should have been absorbed.
Now cover pan with a towel and place the lid over towel and let stand for
five minutes. Fluff with fork and enjoy.
Now you can add veggies, or fruit to the quinoa and enjoy.
The quinoa will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about a week.
This make 3 cups.

So you're on a soft diet with low acid content.
Alfredo sauce is of course going to avoid the acid from tomatoes. But it
seems your biggest challenge is getting a decent amount of protein, as
many
meats will be out of the question. Mashed beans won't break the soft rule,
so you'll want to cook them for a while and then either mash them against
the side of the pot with a spoon or if you want them even finer run them
through a blender.
You're going to want a bit more spicing to keep from going out of your
gourd
with culinary boredom, so you might want to pick up a couple of envelopes
of
ranch dressing mix and sprinkle some of the seasoning into what you're
making to give it a bit more flavor.
Fish is pretty soft in body, especially whitefish like Pollock, tilapia,
and
even canned tuna. You can also find soups with no tomato base, like
various
chicken soups, split pea, bean with bacon, and New England clam chowder,
though you'll probably want to run the latter through a blender to turn
the
clams into fragments. Cabbage soup, which involves cooking cabbage until
it's way past limp, might also give you some flavor variety, but you can
speed up the process by mincing the cabbage very fine.
Those are some ideas. Hope it goes well.

Subject: [CnD] Looking for recipe ideas for a restricted diet
Hello all,
It's a long story, but suffice it to say that I'm stuck on a rather
restricted diet for the next week, and I've already been on it for five
days. Basically, I can only have soft things (cooked pasta, mashed
potatoes, oatmeal, rice pudding, custards, that kind of thing) and
nothing with high acid content (so no tomatoes, chile, and so on).
Onions are also out, except in small amounts, as is anything hard
(nuts, seeds, whole grains, most any meat, fresh fruits or vegetables,
etc).
I'm growing tired of macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes, and I'd
love any suggestions anyone has. I'm mostly looking for any pasta
sauces you might know of that fit the requirements (no chunks of
anything, little to no acid, onions, or hot flavors). If you have ideas
for other dishes, though, I'd appreciate those as well. Thanks in
advance!

Have a great day,
Alex Hall
