Supermarket food bars - 100 Meals Pureed - Recipes for Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

A dozen years ago, I read a great article about using salad bars to purchase items that you only need a couple of them for a meal, and not a whole jar or can.  Sometimes you only need a couple of olives . . .

Last year, when I could drive, I would pick up my daughter from dance in the next town over.  Before I get her, I would pick her up a salad, and most importantly I would top it with "baby corn".   There is no way I would bring a jar home, because baby corn for one salad a week would take forever to use.  If we made a salad every night with baby corn, we would be bored of it soon enough.    So I use the fresh baby corn on the salad bar.

Nowadays, supermarkets have gone beyond the salad bar to full food bars.  The beauty, for us with pureed food issues, is that you can purchase small premade meals.   Most homemade recipes are designed for multiple people, and if you are reading this, you are probably already bored with your food options and you want to be able to change up your meals everyday - just like everyone else.

Many of the food bars also give you the option of international food.  International give you a great break from the bland, because supermarkets tend to over spice these foods because they have to sit in the tray for a couple of hours and still taste good when they come home.

For care-givers it also cuts down on prep time.  One of the toughest commercials for me to watch are the Nationwide commercials with Peyton Manning.  When I see that Chicken Parmigiana sandwich, I WANT ONE SO BADLY.  It takes a lot of effort to make a chick-parm, but to be able to purchase a puree sized portion
