My favorite when I was trying to eat again: mashed potatoes--plain or with a little gravy!! How wonderful to have something that tasted like FOOD and wasn't sweet like all of the puddings and liquids. Potato soup is wonderful too..very soothing. Someone brought me some black bean soup.....so ugly looking and so absolutely wonderful!!.....I, too, even without radiation, was and still am very sensitive to spicy foods, but the potato and bean dishes were very soothing.
