30+ Soft Food Recipes

A couple of days ago I had oral surgery... it was awful! I was going crazy because I was tired of eating the same things over and over again, includingice cream! We all know that something's wrong if I'm getting tired of ice cream, right? Besides, I love to eat!! So basically these past weeks have been like some sort of punishment.

If you are going through something like this, I know you will love all of these soft food recipes ;)

    Thanks for sharing my rolls and pasta dish. I can relate to how you felt. I got my wisdom teeth out a few years ago and lived on spaghetti O's for days. I could have used this list. By the way, I haven't eated Spaghetti O's since my oral surgery. LOL
