Bland diet questions

can you have butter?

I should have asked more questions! I think I can't have fatty dairy. So no butter or cheese. :(

Get good products instead of cheap stuff. Fresh stuff, even if its not explosive flavors will have good taste.

Rice with soy
Bakes potato with salsa
Toast or rolls with a cinnamon and honey mix....this has been my goto for a month now for breakfast. I don't miss butter at all.

Darla, I had to eat sort of a bland softer diet due to a tooth ailment last month. I ate a lot of eggs until I was pretty sick of them. Lasted over a week, but they served their purpose. I ate egg drop soup quite a few times. A good wonton soup was good if the meat isn't too spiced up. You could skip the veggies and remove the pasta from the wontons and stick with the broth and meat.

I also ate a lot of low fat yogurt during the day to fend off antibiotic side effects. I found some for diabetics I think that were not high in sugar or carbs like the others. I can't remember what brand it was, but one of them makes it. I'd never seen it before. I drank diet 7 Up and a lot of water.

Hope whatever it is you have going on, goes on it's merry way quickly.

Back to baseball for me. I've had out of town guests here on and off for over a week. Between that, work and baseball, it's been chaotic here. I've been eating well, though.

Why the need for the Bland Diet? If I can ask... I've just never heard of it. And I would imagine it's not something someone would want to be on

Can you have herbs? Add rosemary or thyme to potato when cooking. Or garlic.
Can you sub the white potato for a sweet potato? I would go for foods that are naturally flavorful, but I'm sensing that's what you're trying to avoid?

mix some mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers and onions in a frying pan. serve over rice. add some chicken if you like.
