Thanks for the ideas so far, everyone. I can't have bread either, so that eliminates two of my favorite sandwiches: peanut butter and jelly, and peanut butter and banana. I know white bread is soft, but they told me not to eat it anyway. Yes, ice cream, applesauce, pudding, and similar items are fast becoming staples. <smile> Protein is, as one person said, the main factor - I add cheese to mashed potatoes to fill them out more, and of course macaroni and cheese has plenty already, but I'm trying to think of other ways to make meals more filling and varied.
